By far the best hotel we stayed at in Europe. After this we would like aim for this Novotel Chain. They facility and Breakfast were good and well balanced. A reasonable bar in the lobby as well. They offered free Tram tickets to down town as they said not very vehicle friendly. We had to leave following day so did not try them.

Rooms were comfortable, the only issue i would say is the additional bed for child was a ver small sofa. Not one that opens into a bed, just a sofa with bedding. If this had been clearer when booking i would have booked a bigger room. Other than that everything was good

Staying here for Women’s Euros & there was a great atmosphere & buzz around the hotel & Basel in general. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Facilities were great, room was lovely & large with the added bonus of a bath. Breakfast had everything you could expect. The fridge in the room was also welcomed to store my insulin in. Overall a great stay.

Clean and spatial. Staff friendly and efficient. Great breakfast. The only complaint is when the bathroom light is turned on it lights up the whole room through the glass partition between the bedroom and bathroom, so when one goes to the toilet at night the other person sharing the room may wake up also if s/he is sensitive to light.
