Confusing but lovely

"A very comfy hotel- although confusing at first! We booked City Inn; the reception was closed with a sign explaining to go Hotel Euler reception. Our breakfast was actually in a different hotel - Hotel Metropol. All 3 hotels are connected and you walk inside to get between them..Our city inn room was 536, this was on the 3rd not 5th floor. From reception lift to 1st floor then walk across the corridor to ascend two different flights of stairs. Hence confusing at first!! The room was basic but fine. Good shower and comfy bed but the pillows were awful. Breakfast (when you arrived there) was continental and fine. Staff were lovely. Location is brill. 3 minute walk to train station where you get on/off airport shuttle bus. Walk in other direction through a park to get to bars/restaurants. Basel is lovely. I would return to the hotel but just wanted to explain why I thought it was confusing."

Don’t go there, far too expensive for the poor offer.

"Well, this hotel is clean, quiet and located steps from the station. That’s the positive. It is also offering extremely small rooms (not to mention the bathroom for Lilliputians) where you can not even walk around the bed or put a chair. It is also artificially created in a set of connected buildings making for an odd and very inconvenient access. The lift doesn’t even go to all floors. On top of that it’s pricing policy is completely inappropriate. Way, way too expensive for what is offered. A shame."

Excellent location

"Excellent location. Very clean. Gentleman on a night shift at the the reception on 15th Dec was a STAR! Female staff member of the 8floor (breakfast) was initially rude claiming in a public that we can not communicate properly, sure that we want to bilk breakfast, next day trying to improve but it was elephant in the room already. No wending machine for night commers, but fruits for a pick up at the reception (nice). Great for a short stay."
