Top Sankt Jakob Hotel Reviews

Central City Hotel Rochat

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was very comfortable and in a great location for exploring the old city"

GAIA Hotel Basel - the sustainable hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It’s one of the best 4-star options. Amazing breakfast and super friendly staff (Dhoka) and front desk! They allowed me to keep my room when I travelled for 1 day. Sauna/Spa is cozy and just perfect. Rooms are clean and well organized. Close to train station and 10 minutes walk (5 min train ride) to the old center."

Pullman Basel Europe

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here many time and it’s a very good quality stay that the Pullman in Basel offers. Try and get a room away from the Main Street as it does get noisy with the trams. Breakfast is a bit on the expensive side but it’s Switzerland so expected. Avoid the salmon at breakfast. Everywhere is clean and the staff have Swiss efficiency."
