Comfortable bed but only one pillow each? Thankfully we brought our own. Only one large and one hand towel for a couple? There are no toiletries just a squeeze bottle of all in one gel in the shower. The shower will go hot if anyone flushes the toilet and sometimes the heating pipes made a noise in our room. But... More

There seems to be a (relatively) new brand of hotels popping up in the past few years. These hotels are modern & clean, but they keep prices low with limited amenities and by picking low rent locations which are near to transportation lines. Motel One and B&B Hotels follow this model and so it seems does Das Breite. I honestly... More

As a business hotel with everything I needed and no frills, Das Breite Hotel was a good find. I’d stay here again if trying to economize in Basel. I came with a client in March, 2012, and we paid CHF 175 a night each for our single rooms. Compared to what it costs to stay in, say, Amsterdam or Heidelberg,... More

It's a little away from the very centre of the city, but that's no problem with a tram stop outside, Basel's super-efficient transport - and the free transport pass for all visitors! Really friendly and helpful staff; big, modern rooms and great breakfasts. Close to the Rhine - walking and cycle paths (free bike loan). Good to be in a... More

I was warmly welcome upon arrival. The hotel just located opposite the tram station. The distance to Basel SBB is 4 stations away with 1 change. In fact you can walk a station distance after alighted 3 stop away from the hotel. I love the early bird breakfast option. It is very useful if you need to travel early. The... More

We chose this hotel due to the reviews and stayed here on the first night of our 9-day October trip around Europe. I and my three daughters loved this hotel - clean, massive room and bathroom and wonderfully helpful staff. The breakfast was fantastic and the tram and an Italian restaurant we both nearby. The only problem we had was... More

Very good hotel at good price. The location is convenient. The personnel is very kind. There is the opportunity to park in the garage and vidit the city with a free ticket offered by the hotel. The ticked is valid for all public transportation. The rooms are comfortable and very clean. No noise at all. Breakfast is more than adequate. More

This is a very nice hotel, clean rooms, quite big bathroom, very kind staff. Super quite place, slept undisturbed. At the reception they gave me a free card to travel for free around the city by tram or bus. Basel downtown is 5 minutes far by tram or 20 minutes walking. I would come back to this hotel again.

I stayed at the Das Breite hotel for business in July 2011 as a last-minute choice. The Das Breite has limited transportation options given its slightly out of the way location. The 2 tram runs every few minutes but stops late at night. After say midnight there are no transport or food options close by. I had to use a... More
