Switzerland Hotels

Fantastic. Great hotel, clean, friendly staff, great location. This is a nice quiet hotel a short walk from the Train station in Old Town, and a short walk to the main shopping street. Plenty of different restaurants close by offering a good variety of different cuisine. There are other hotels close by, but the Ruetli was fantastic. Many thanks to management and staff, we will use this hotel again next time we are back in Zurich

Spent the weekend in this hotel with girlfriends. There were 4 of us. We were given rooms next to each other and the staff were very friendly. We had breakfast both mornings, having read previous reviews were concerned that we wouldn't get enough. On the contrary we had more than enough including a glass of prosecco on Sunday morning. The waiter and waitresses were very attentive making us feel well looked after. There is a supermarket nearby very handy for wine and nibbles (saves on mini bar expenses) and water of course. It has a very central location, just across the road from the train station and everything for the tourist is within walking distance. Only gripe is that there is no kettle in the room however having read the reviews we took our own and we didn't need an adapter. The room was equipped with a multinational plug system ! PS the piano bar do a mean cocktail too ! All in all we had a great time

The Bristol Hotel is a modern hotel in an excellent location, about 3 min walk to central rail station, 4/5 min walk to main attractions, and is on a fairly quiet street (especially at night). Good choice of breakfast, rooms very clean (no AC so may be a problem in summer), friendly staff.

First class in every way. Expensive but everything in Geneva is.

Location was good and also close to Geneva Bus station which is the place from where most of the tour starts. Hotel was pretty comfortable and people are very nice.

I had a good time . I would like to visit again. Staff are friendly. Hotel was neat and tidy up. Hotel service was good

Overall a great stay. The staff was nice and helpful, there was a free shuttle that would take you anywhere within Basel city limits (and pick you up!) However the cleaning staff would ignore the do not disturb sign and open your door anyways, but would always leave immediately.

Fantastic hotel with ultra-modern decor. Spacious well-designed rooms.Amazing shower. Kettle and fridge in room. Lovely location, easy to get to. Bus number 50 takes you from the Euro-airport to the central railway station.(SBB-CFF)Then take tram number 8 from stop number 5 (direction Kleinhüningen ),to the end of the line.(approx 15-20minutes) Cross one of the little bridges over the water and turn right, the hotel is a few minutes walk away(head towards buildings showing 'Stücki' and you will see the hotel entrance). On arrival at the airport do NOT buy any bus or tram tickets for central Basel - all are free to hotel visitors. If asked just show proof of your hotel reservation, once you get to the hotel you will be given a free travel pass for the duration of your stay.This is a bonus as everything else in Switzerland is expensive. Eating out is pricey!There is a fabulous take-away deli (Migros) in the train station. Regular trains go from Basel to Lucerne(1hr) and Interlaken(2hrs) (be prepared for high fares!). Also recommend Brienze and the Ballenberg museum experience along with the Lucerne to Interlaken panoramic train. Recommend eating/drinking in Luz just opp Lucerne Rail station. Right on the lake but unpretentious and reasonably priced. Basel is a nice city and great as a base for visiting other parts of Switzerland.
