Close to Zurich HB train station Super clean and modern rooms / bathrooms Not big rooms - functional base only - Swiss efficiency in action Hotel is very close to both some great Italian restaurants and the Zurich red light area. Turn left not right when you walk out at night.

The hotel is a 12 minute walk from Zurich HB station. It is located in the old part of the city which hosts all of the main attractions and medieval buildings. So the location is great. For the price paid the room size was generous and the breakfast spread was adequate. The staff were also very friendly. However although the... More

This is a very simple 3-star hotel, as other reviewers have already stated. It is close to Zurich's central railway station and to the main shopping areas . The front desk personnel is extremely kind and helpfull, and the continental breakfast reasonable. The only problem I experienced was regarding the floor noise insulation: you can clearly hear people walking on... More

We found a good deal on GalaHotels.com for 130 USD for one night for a couple. The room was big, quiet and facing the back with a view of the old city and the snowy mountains. It was perfect for a one night on the way to a ski vacation in Austria. It is a 5 minute walk from the... More

Hotel Basilea is more expensive than similar hotels in Switzerland, but it is conveniently located in the centre of ZĂĽrich. The down side is that it appears to be in the red light district, so the area does not look overly safe at night. The room I got was a single room. It was clean but small. The walls seem... More

Located near the main railway station, good staff, the room is small, as a 3 star hotel it,s reasonable, the breakfast is good but no much varieties that you can choose. You can enjoy walking side the river to the beautiful lake with the boats and big number of birds, overall it's near to the most shopping areas.

Hotel Basilea in Zurich is situated in the old part of the city within 5 minutes’ walk from the train station. Besides the good location and friendly service there is nothing special about it, so do not waste your money for this place. Rooms are small and look more like upgraded cells in a prison. There is no closet, drawers... More

I travel extensively and stay from top to bottom in hotels. Basilea rates as one ofthe best for value, location and overall generally. Its location in realation to public transport ( e.g. rail) is excellent. When they say 5 minutes to the station they mean 5 minutes. While not in the best of areas it is neverless an interesting area... More
