Hotel Metropol was perfect for our quick stay in Basel. It is located steps from the train station. The staff is helpful. When we arrived before check in to ask if we could store our luggage while sightseeing, they said our rooms were ready and allowed us to check in early. How nice! We were able to walk all over the city from our hotel. We enjoyed our one-night stay here. We were not able to have breakfast at the hotel as we had an early departure the next morning. We would recommend staying here.

Couldn’t do the online check in. So had to go to the main hotel desk. 3 hotels all linked. The room near the stairwell is noisy in the evening. The location is great for transport .

Close to transport links and good breakfast.

Hotel was close to the train station and bus back to the airport. Breakfast room on the top floor was good for choice of food and views. One of our rooms had a strange smell when we arrived but it faded over time.
