This hotel was cramped, the lighting was dark and there wasn't much room to move around in. When I used the shower, since there was only a curtain and just a shower pan on the floor, I knew it was going to be bad. As soon as I started the shower, it started flooding all over the floor and there... More

We stayed at Das Breite four nights and enjoyed the experience thoroughly. it is a rather unusual hotel, combining stylish design (what a relief not to be surrounded by beige) with a lovely friendliness and great breakfasts. The staff are great: front of house efficient, kitchen and serving staff friendly and the cleaners absolutely lovely. While the location may initially... More

This hotel is so self-consciously cool it should suffer from hypothermia. Very stark, undecorated look for the most part. Restful – nothing to distract the eye. An exception to that is the reception area, which is a stunning design success. The hotel’s literature claims it was set up “for the purpose of creating employment for adults receiving a disability benefit”... More

This hotel is a non-profit organization,(not easy to find in hotels!) where people with mild disabilities find a place to work into public life, quite an easy way to be helpful for sensitive clients interested in causes. The staff is very helpful. Nice clean room, very nice breakfast. Rather noisy with the highway just above the hotel roof, train and... More

The hotel offers great value in a very nice city. It's only a short (free) tram ride to the city centre. One would expect to pay much more for the contemporary decoration and the overall high standard.

Firstly, from when i first arrived and throughout my stay all the staff were very friendly and helpful, happy to give directions and explain anything you need to know. The room was very modern and large, with big windows allowing lots of light in when open, the bathroom was nice to use, and compared to other hotels in Basel, for... More

Thank you, Raymond, for your review! One tip for the next trip: Ask for a free bike, then the city is within a few minutes (and your review of our location better ;-) ). Second tip: Ask our friendly staff if you could just iron the shirt by yourself - normally they will iron it for you - for free.... More

We stayed here as a stop over from driving through the Alps passes for 3 days, so what we needed was a convenient hotel, good rooms and safe parking. And yes, we got all 3! First off, what a lovely town! The quality of Basel, like many Swiss towns is massively high. There’s a beautiful town centre, loads to see... More

When I first arrived there I found the hotel to be very sterile and cold. It wasn't until the next day I could feel and see the real charm of this hotel. It reminded me of a dormitory but but only because it was so clean and empty. The rooms are simple but efficient. Loved the location right next to... More
