Long Weekend in Basel
I am usually in Basel at least once a year and of the four or five hotels I have stayed in this is definitely my favourite. It is conveniently located for the centre of the city and buses to the airport and railway stations and all of the staff on the front desk are exceptionally friendly and helpful. We were upgraded to a large room, offered a late checkout and a discount voucher for food and non-alcoholic drinks, all of which were much appreciated.

Such lovely accommodation for couples
We loved the location, the view from our room, staff’s decency, pillow selections, and free bike rental services. We would definitely stay there again if we can come back to Basel in the future.

Great last night in Switzerland
Exceeded all expectations. Great service from the staff, who told me all I needed to know about the hotel and Basel. Responsive to my needs - directions, transit, schedules, local dining options, etc. Room as advertised. Nicely furnished, clean, great condition, airy and spacious. I don’t write many reviews but Hotel Spalentor should be recognized for the gem it is.

We were warmly welcomed and provided with excellent information about the hotel, dining options and a Basel Travel card to use on all public transport. Reception staff were excellent. Public transport stops are located close by the hotel as is old town, which is an easy walk. Hotel rooms were a great size with very good amenities. The restaurant on site provides an excellent breakfast at a reasonable price. I highly recommend this Hotel.
