Very disappointed with this hotel for the price. Mercure is undergoing a complete refurb and once that's done (in 2016) I'm sure it will a great option in a prime location, but until then it is very dated and small things that could make a difference, like a modern TV and easy access wifi, are overlooked. LAN internet and wifi... More

The heating on my landing was switched on max and the rooms were like a sauna. As there was no aircom, the choices were either to open the window or use the fan provided. First I tried the window option. This hotel is on one of the main tram routes and the stop is right outside. They run through the... More

Booked in last minute on a business trip, reasonable price for Basel!!!! (very expensive city). Clean and tidy room more suited to business than a holiday stay. Did what it said on the tin. More

Great location right on the tram line into the middle of the old town. Large rooms, we also had a free upgrade. Didn't have breakfast but the menu looked good. Free travel ticket to travel on the trams for the duration of your stay and also to get to the airport. They also take € which is useful. More

I was on a recent business trip and stayed at the hotel for a week. The rooms facing the garden are the best. Good breakfast selection and good service. Close to the trams. More

This hotel was close to my appointment, but quite a mistake to stay there. I know it's Switzerland and nothing is low priced however but even for half the cost this hotel would have been overpriced. Certainly the smallest and worst equipped hotel room I have seen for a while. And single room really means single bed... if you turn... More

We were in the back building which is really quiet in a garden. I was very surprised by the size of this room, usually european hotel rooms are tiny, this was HUGE ! Staff was very nice. Location is good, you have to take the tram into town, but its less than 10 min and they give you a free... More

If your room is on the street then it will be difficult to sleep when trams are operating. If your room is located on the back then it is ok. Rooms are decent size and bed and pillows are fine.Overall hotel is old fashion and might deserve refreshment. It is clean but slightly outdated, with old 17" standard TV. Breakfast... More
