Love this Hotel

Very clean and modern airport hotel with: easy parking, free shuttle service, bus passes offered at the front desk, very nice staff, excellent breakfast, and spacious well appointed rooms. Love this hotel. If you want to go to downtown Basel it’s just a 2 min walk to the #50 bus to the train station. If the put coffee in the rooms it would be perfect! Have fun!

Good choice!

Excellent hotel. Check in was unexpectedly helpful and friendly. Room was large and comfortable and clean. Breakfast is expensive but there are no options close to the hotel. Hotel is next to the #50 bus stop which goes directly to the airport and to the train station in Basel. Have fun!

Phenomenal property, incredible stay. Our best in Europe. We were expecting far less from a hotel near an airport. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean and comfortable. Just a couple minutes. Drive from the airport. Free shuttle. We highly recommend!

VIRGINIA

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
If you have an early flight, this is a great and inexpensive way to be close to the airport. They are happy to drop you off, but the #50 bus stops every 10-15 minutes across the street and with the Basel Card (which is free) the bus is free.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
I arrived a day late due to my flight being cancelled by British Airways from Heathrow to Basel and the Hotel were very accommodating. It was very hot and my aircon did not work in my room I was assigned and the staff were very helpful to try and get it working and eventually moved me to another room with aircon. Food was great at the restaurant and the staff all round were very friendly.

Excellent stay, close to Basel Airport

Many evening flights from Basel were cancelled, so I was lucky to find a room here, only 3 stops by bus from the airport. Very helpful, friendly staff. They printed out a document for me that I needed urgently for a meeting the next day. They also booked me a taxi to get to the airport early in the morning at 5am. There is a shuttle bus, but it only begins at 6am. There is "express" continental breakfast served from 4.30am, and they give you a takeaway bag if you need to leave promptly, as I did. Overall, a brilliant experience, helping minimise the stress of being stranded overnight abroad.
