The Krafft Hotel is a supreme example of preserving something with older charater but at the same time making it fresh, clean and up to date. It has great character. The staff were very helpful and as good as any hotel I have stayed at. The cutomer service was exemplary. Overall, our stay could not have been better.

It would have been fair if the hotel shared that there is ongoing construction all around the property from 6 am-6 pm. Rooms facing the city is extremely noisy. After hours until 3 am we heard excessive noise from the bar patrons next door. I requested the river side before we arrived but they were not very helpful after the reservation was made.

Great location! Basel is a wonderful town! We were disappointed to find our room at the back of the property was a laneway, with a number of bistros that were open late, even on week nights!
