Great staff and nice hotel. Close to train station and walking distance to many attractions. Parking was a little difficult to find (within the train station underground structure) but was convenient. Would happily stay again
Being near the train station, trams at front door, yet easy walk into city is always a drawcard. Comfortable rooms, great breakfast and friendly staff makes it the perfect stay for me.
The room was perfect for our needs. The staff understood our travel plans and worked with us to accommodate them. Very professional and top drawer all the way. I would recommend this as a great option for any travelers in Basel.
Our stay was lovely at hotel Victoria, the reception staff were so kind, helpful and welcoming. Sometimes being a person of colour in Europe can be daunting but the hotel and Basel in general felt safe.
Only slight feedback I would have is for cleaning, some used plates , mugs etc were not removed or cleaned and rubbish was not taken from the room ( we have accumulated it in a bag and placed it next to the dustbin as all of it would not fit in the bin). Bed and bathroom was cleaned so that was no problem.
Great location, right across from the train station. Room very clean and a great bathroom. The staff was very accommodating to help us with laundry even when the staff was ready to go home, the did laundry for us immediately.

You can’t beat the location; it’s super close to the train station, the river, and the Christmas markets. The staff weren’t super friendly on arrival. We sat outside on the patio on arrival (waiting less than 15 min for our check in time) and staff told us we couldn’t sit there (all the tables were literally empty). The room was nice and spacious, but the restroom was sooo moldy (you could smell it). We stayed for one night and that was enough.
Super convenience location. Right in front of the Basel main train station. Even have a direct bus to EuroAioort Basel if needed. Supermanrt available just beside the hotel and many restaurants . Service and condition of hotel was great too
I would have given 5 stars and rated it excellent except our room was super warm and we could not adjust temperature ( it was winter time). Secondly and more importantly, our room was right on the square and the trams rail lines ran right out our window. It was difficult to get a good nights sleep. However, the staff was kind, super helpful and accommodated us with our luggage when we arrived early. The room was very nice with good space and amenities. Just rough being on the noisy train station square.
Sitting right across from the train station and major tram stops, this elegant hotel is remarkably quiet, beautifully furnished with an attentive and friendly staff. I loved staying there.
Good service at the front desk. Room was quiet and comfortable although very warm. Was charged for something additionally on my credit card when we paid the city rate in cash and didn’t use any other services in the hotel. Area directly around the hotel was a bit scary with really over confident begging.
Excellent location with lots within walking or easily accessible using the trams/buses. Helpful and friendly staff, clean and comfortable. A great base for exploring Basal.
