B&B Hotel Basel
"Very budget hotel! Very small room- no a/c to speak of, so bring fans. No amenities to speak of- the bar isnt an actual bar- you order from reception. Excellent breakfast, but it closes early. No restaurant as advertised, but snacks-"

HYPERION Hotel Basel
"Good location, but it seems every stay is getting more expensive! I travel often and stayed here many times and it is now on average £500 per night! Rooms and the staff are great. Restaurant is expensive and food choices aren’t the best."
