Stadthof Budget Hotel Basel City Center

I popped into the downstairs restaurant/bar late on a Sunday evening hoping to get something to eat and couldn’t have felt more welcomed into such a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Whilst it is dated everything was spotlessly clean, the food was excellent and the service couldn’t have been better. Freshly cooked traditional food. 100 X better than the food and service at the much fancier hotel I was staying at across the square.

Very good location, central. In front of the hotel is a tram station with good connection for the central railway station and any other parts of the town. Clean room, clean (shared) bathroom. Good Wi-Fi in the room. In December, there is a big Christmas Market in the square in the front of the hotel. Many restaurants and bars at walking distance. Pretty cold in the room, especially in the morning. Not working TV (not quite a minus, for me, though). Every morning, at 7:00 you will be awakened by the bells of a church in the immediate vicinity, which ring continuously for about 2-3 minutes. Old furniture. Without an elevator, the hotel is on the 3rd floor, above a restaurant. Quite a lot of noise, produced by the restaurant's employees, until around 00:00. Actually, there is no a reception open 24 hours, check-in and check-out are done in the pizza restaurant from the 1st floor.

I got stuff stolen today there. Wouldn't recommend it, won't go ever again. for 65 CHF a night, no breakfast, this is not an obvious choice. I am pissed for the stealing. and I still need thp o type more characters.

The staff were really friendly in this place. It is a beautiful old building in the heart of a historic part of the city. Some facilities are shared with other guests but everything was clean and the room was comfortable. The bar/restaurant under the hotel was a good place to people watch and the food was great. The hotel can't be blamed for the terrifying Swiss thunder storm which raged through the night! So, all in all, a great place to stay.

First of all the room was very hot, like crazy hot and it stank. It was due to high temperature outside as well as lots of refrigerators which were placed on the staircase and produced a lot of heat. The second thing was a heat exchanger also situated on the staircase from a cold room. So imagine how hot it was! Also 4 or 5 fridges on the staircase caused a real danger and inconvenience, because it was very hard and danger to walk between them. So no, it is not a hotel, it’s not even a guest house. It is a restaurant with a few rooms placed above kitchen and staff rooms. Where the smell came from? From the restaurant of course and I don’t mean nice smell of food. No it was the kitchen and waste smell. This place should be closed.

Location: 12 minutes walk from Basel SBB and 20 minutes by bus to Basel Airport. There’s no reception as such, at first I thought they misunderstand what I want, because they made me sit at a table in the restaurant. The rooms are small, mine had a sink inside which is a plus. Kind of noisy as people keep passing under my window speaking loudly. WiFi network that was mentioned on the card, didn’t exist. I had internet on my phone so it didn’t bother me so much but I was left with a tiny disappointment inside. Pleasant surprise - sleepers. No hairdryer :(... The main light in the room didn’t work. I don’t think I would want to stay here again.

If you are looking at this hotel I presume you are not looking to spend too much money on somewhere to rest your head. This place is clean and basic, ideal for somewhere cheap to have a sleep. There are around 7/8/9 rooms in the hotel I believe. There is a shared shower room and also separate toilets for men and for women. To get to the hotel rooms there are a few sets of stairs. The hotel is above restaurant. Pros - nice staff - very good location in the middle of the walking street - next to main tram stop (no noise) Cons - pillows where not very comfortable

The other reviews are accurate. It's simply not work CHF 60 per night. It's clean and in a great location. But there are 9 rooms sharing one toilet and one shower. Also, there's a terrible smell coming up from the kitchen. And the cooks stand in the hall smoking cigarettes all day. The wifi also didn't work great.

Hotel near the tram station, walkable , few metres. Hotel provided free city travel pass for the entire period of stay which helps you to explore the city with out any additional expense. Rooms are ok with shared bath rooms, which are clean. Helpful staff.

And for cheapest I mean 50 euros per night. Well, it's Switzerland. The rooms are pretty small and the toilet and shower are sharing, but I've seen worst. Not bad, book it if you need a "cheap" one night stay. A bit noisy at evening. Great location.
