Riverside Hotel Merian - opening 2026

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very helpful and professional"

Basel Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great access to everything Basel"

Essential by Dorint Basel City

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel and staff were excellent and if you have an event at Jakobshalle the no 14 tram stop is 2 blocks and goes direct. My only issue was the area that lacked restaurants and limited hours"

Steinenschanze Charming City & Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is within walking distance of so many cafés, attractions, and transit, and it’s easy to get to the hotel from Basel SBB. I really loved sitting out in the garden with the welcome drink that they give you when you arrive! And the staff were friendly and helpful, and also spoke multiple languages. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything you need (except a mini fridge). There’s a small bar onsite, and they serve an extensive breakfast. They have tea and coffee available all the time."

Hotel Märthof Basel

"Great location with very friendly staff and beautiful room. Highly recommend."

We loved getting easy dinners or lunches at the Coop close by. We also loved the charcuterie at the sister wine bar across the street. The hotel restaurant was superb."
