Classy hotel with a great restaurant and breakfast.
Staff members were nice and friendly, breakfast was excellent. Added sauna to the stay is a plus, room is clean. However, "The bathroom fixtures are showing significant signs of wear and age. Highly recommend to renovate bathroom fittings in room no 207. Overall stay is good. Thank you
Good for one night on our way to the south of Europe, good mexican restaurant in the hotel, good breakfast, hotel is bit outdated, but the airco worked perfectly and important, the staff was very friendly.
We stay at this hotel whenever we travel from UK to Italy as it is so convenient on the French/German/Swiss border. It never fails to give excellent value for money - including a terrific breakfast.
Great hotel the room was huge but it could be clearer that the hotel is in Germany and not Switzerland. The reception staff were really helpful and the beer was good :)
The staff here is easily the best I've ever experienced. Extremely helpful, kind, and fun, and they put in the extra effort to make guests feel at home and comfortable. They alone are reason to stay again, but the hotel is a great bargain as well. Loved it!

The property was 10 minutes from the port and shopping by train.
The breakfast staff are friendly and make your travelling experience very memorable
The Hotel (especially the room) looks run down. The room had AC which did not work, fortunately one could open the window to get the heat out. Staff was friendly and helpful and the location is good. Overall the stay was ok for what we were looking for. But again, the rooms could use a refresh.

Clean hotel
A clean older hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Prices are quite high considering the standard of the hotel and the neighborhood ( a rather trashy environment ). Prices are probably high because of the nearby Swiss border and even more expensive Swiss hotels across that.
- If you arrive by car, there is a large parking lot, however, if you arrive by public transport ( bus or tram) you will have to walk quite a distance, in an area that does not seem very safe or meant for pedestrians ( this is written by a woman).
We have just got home from a long weekend staying at this hotel and cannot fault it at all
We were a large group of 14 and were looked after brilliantly
And a special shout out to the very friendly and helpful receptionist who was fantastic 👏👏👏
The room was clean and silent, it was possible to sleep very well. The parking place is quite big so I could park my car easily. The breakfast is without buffet and a bit limiting for me because I love to eat both sweet and continental breakfast, so ordering from a fixed breakfast choice that was not possible. The breakfast is quite expensive if you don't book it with the room.
Staff were nice. Great breakfast. Room looked old, furniture have seen their days. Bathroom also very 70’s and could be better maintained.

It was a fine hotel, good bed, but a bit outdated furnished and dito bathroom. It was clean though and the staff was very kind. Good value for money, not expensive.
The staff were absolutely fantastic and extremely helpful. The breakfast included a great variety with food to suit all tastes.
We stayed here to visit Basle which was a short tram ride away. It took about half an hour to get to the tram station.
I think this would be a good hotel to visit if on a motorbike tour as there's a big car park and an excellent bar. The perfect way to wind down and relax.
Our room was a great size and very comfortable.
Definitely worth a visit as you won't be disappointed.

Hotel stay
Hotel is a bit dated, but comfortable. Breakfast very nice, dining area small. Biggest downside i found is that it is not in Switzerland or Basel, so taxi was expensive
I like the way the check in was so smooth, the friendliness from the staff,
The breakfast was excellent and evening meal.
The room was nice,tidy and clean.
Dislike: I left the sign on my door (Do Not Disturb) but still they went in and cleaned the room, that side needs to be looked at.
But on the whole was good
I highly recommend that everyone should look beyond the big expensive city of Basel and look into Germany for accommodations. Although this hotel had slightly outdated décor, one can see that this hotel, and it's staff, have a lot of pride in their work place, and they offer great service. My room was spotless, had all the necessities except for air conditioning but thankfully, it was a cool enough night that it wasn't necessary.
The hotel offered a plentiful and fresh breakfast buffet that was fit for a king. Everything was wonderful at the Carathotel. I really commend the staff that was very welcoming.
We stayed one week at Carathotel Basel during Eurovision. Our room was spacious and clean even being a little older.
Staff was helpful and wonderful. Breakfast was an amazing spread of everything you could possibly want.
Transportation into Basel was about a 15 minute walk to the tram or you could catch a bus across the street, but we enjoyed the walk.
The only (minor) issue was that there was only 1 elevator working while we were there, and sometimes the wait for it was quite long.
