Only steps from train station. Shops and services open in station on Sundays. All other stores are closed Sundays in all of Switzerland. Streetcar noise 20 hours a day and noise from patios til past 1AM. Windows are very well noise insulated. We kept windows closed 2nd night and it worked out.

The Schweizerhof is one of my Happy Places when I visit Basel. Clean, friendly and efficient. It's so exciting to see that the Hotel is now promoting tap water instead of 'free bottled water' that only contributes to the micro/nano plastic misery. Kudos Schweizerhof!

Wonderful hotel that was very clean and excellent staff. All of the front desk staff spoke English well. The room was very comfortable and well designed. We loved its location next to the train station and with lots of trams right outside the front door. Transportation on the city trams is free for hotel guests and the staff helped us make good use of it. The location is excellent, quite near the old town. In fact, it is only two tram stops from old town. Even though the hotel was right next to major transportation hubs, it was very quiet inside. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel.

I booked this hotel because the website says they have a bar serving hot and cold snacks - there is even a menu on the website. However that turns out to be a compete fiction
