We stayed one night in the hotel on the Executive floor. I suspect the fact that the hotel was not so busy on a saturday may have resulted in the very poor service in the Executive lounge. Sunday mornings breakfast in the lounge was poor as most of the hot food was taken and the food left was cold. You... More

Our ten day stay at this Hilton was extremely enjoyable. All of the staff were exceptional in their duties. During a medical crisis within our group the staff at the front desk went out of their way in assistance and compassion which helped ease a very stressful situation. We would certainly choose this hotel or any other Hilton for future... More

Ok, first the good. Great location close to the main train station, good restaurant and fairly comfortable bar. The breakfast buffet was great too. There is a pool as well, but we didn't get a chance to check it out. The staff was pretty helpful and friendly and the room was clean and the beds were fairly comfortable. Now, the... More

We staid one night in a junior suite, with access to the executive lounge. The price was aroung $300.- booked through a price comparison website. The hotel is a bit dated, but not scrappy, and the dated decor is actually a bit charming. The suite included a lounge, bedroom and two bathrooms, but was still quite small. The amenities where...

I understand Basel is an expensive city. However, it is not easy to accept a "Hilton" hotel with such inconsistence services and subpar value. Check-in was smooth. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful. However, she didn't offer options for king/queen or twin room. I travelled alone (on business) and got 2 twin beds. Not a big deal but would... More

I stayed at the Hilton Basel for three nights last week and the stay was below my expectations especially for the price charged. The breakfasts were excellent and the staff very helpful and polite at all times. However my main criticism is at the quality of my sleep. The bedroom A/C was difficult to control and the room was much... More

The hotel has one good point - great staff at check in, after that considering the price 750 Swiss francs for basic up to 2100 it is terrible, and for a rich company like Hilton not to offer free wi fi is all rather sad. We stayed one extra night in Basel and for half the price received clean room,... More

From the outside it looks just like another old building with not much to offer in terms of hospitality or comfort. Once inside though you are pleasantly surprised with the warm and competent welcome you get from the reception staff. The staff had also prepared free mobility tickets for us to use on all public transport means. The room was... More
