Fröhnd Vacations from $1,004

Nice hotel in a quieter part of town. Excellent access to tram leading to shopping areas, short walk to river front. Convenient location if you’re staying before a Viking cruise - could walk or tram to the docking location. Only downside was value - thought the room could be nicer for the price - felt a little more basic or sparse. But it was clean, quiet, and friendly- which was the most important for us.

Our hotel had an excellent location within the heart of the core. Basel is a beautiful city with lots of history.

It was clean and convenient to the train station.

This was a return visit. We received a warm welcome and the staff were always polite and helpful. A plate of petit fours awaited us in our room. The room was large and although storage for our belongings was tight we managed well. Its accessibility to the station was a boon as we used the train and the Swiss Travel Pass every day. The only negative was the housekeeping. Only on one occasion was the room well cleaned. We were there for two weeks but our beds were not changed. In contrast there were always clean towels when we asked for them. Despite this one niggle, we would return if staying in Basel. It is very good value for money.

Average property has not been kept up - we had broken fans. Staff pleasant but slow or no response to requests e g for clothes hangars. Breakfasts were fine though limited in variety. Convenient on tram line and near Rhine for floating.
