“the Dorint hotel in Basel”

We both really satisfied with both staff and hotel services we found at the Dorint in Basel also rooms are clean and comfortable

“Typical Swiss Quality”

Couldnt fault the place. Clean tidy and professional. Internet costly (remember to unplug or you will pay dearly - my fault as it clearly teels you in the small print). Good location, and you get a free mobility card to use all the public transport free. Nice work CH!

“Staff recognise you and are very helpful and charming”

I always stay at the Dorint if I can when visiting Basel. There doesn't appear to be a big turnaround of staff and normally they recognise you and welcome you before you check-in. Service is faultless - great bunch. Big Fan!!

“clean, comfy and spacious”

We stayed here for just one night - in late one night and out early the next morning so it was brief but the experience was good. The rooms are spacious (we just came from a shoebox in Paris), clean, modern and comfortable. The staff at reception were friendly and helpful. They also provided us with a card that gave us free travel on the trams which came in handy.

“Best value in Basel”

At a large international conference during summer, this seemed to be the only hotel where the air-con worked!!

“Keith from Sussex”

Dorint Hotel Basel: Great value, breakfast expensive but really good (try and include in deal). Location 15 mins easy walk from Basel but free Tram and Bus pass given on check in. Staff friendly and efficient thoroughly enjoyed our stay, Basel is a lovely city.

“Good Business Hotel”

The Dorint is a good business hotel, staff at reception were all very pleasant and helpful. The rooms were not very big but were comfortable and really clean with television. Only thing I felt was missing was tea making facilities in the room, a bit disappointing. Apart from that everything was satisfactory.

“A very nice place to stay”

Booked this hotel after reading Expedia reviews and it was better than expected.Easy to access by tram or bus and hotel gives a travel card for the bus and tram.Free use of Internet but only one computer still it was often available.Bus outside hotel goes straight down to the river through a busy shopping area and the bridge across is close to where the river cruise ships dock.

“Good value hotel with nice, friendly staff”

Basel is not cheap but the Dorint provided excellent value for money. The staff were friendly and helpful and our rooms were spacious and clean. At 26 Swiss francs, breakfast was expensive but at least there was a wide choice and the cooked food (eggs, bacon, sausages etc) was very tasty. In any event there did not appear to be any alternative eating places in the immediate vicinity. Although the hotel was a long walk from the city centre, it was only a 10 minute tram ride and there were up to 8 trams an hour. We were there for the Switzerland v England football match and the number 14 tram took us straight from the hotel to the stadium in about 20-25 minutes. We thought Basel was a picturesque, compact city and the Dorint was an ideal base.

“Not exactly a tourist hotel but well worth a look”

This hotel is strictly-speaking designed for the Trade Fair clientele attending events round the corner. However it should not be dismissed by tourists prepared to travel half a dozen or so stops on tram or bus or walk for a while through the non-touristy bits of Basel. Given that every visitor gets a free transport pass, no cost is involved, and there are direct links to both main railway stations.
