Top Basel Natural History Museum Hotel Reviews

Mövenpick Hotel Basel

8/10 Good

"The facilities were great, the location ideal for anyone traveling by train, the room was well appointed. One peeve of mine (and I know I’m being very picky) is when a hotel where I’ve been to repeatedly asks me whether I’ve ever been there before. It contrasts with their supposed interest in their customers. Shouldn’t you know that I’m a loyal customer? Better not to ask. The staff in general, while competent and precise, felt a little cold more like what one expects at a bank than a hotel. Still, it is a great location and I will go back there and expect to be asked, again, if it’s my first place at the Mövenpick 😂"
