Stadthof Budget Hotel Basel City Center

We booked this hotel because it was the cheapest option we found on the city...but it was 85€ event thought. For the same price I've been in luxury hotels in other cities but this is Basel, so all you get is a ugly room with shared bathroom in the third floor with no lift in a hotel with no reception. In favor, the hotel has a excelent location in the center and the staff is friendly. I only recomend it if you are looking for the cheapest option and the other hotels are much more expensive.

This hotel has a friendly staff and its situation in downtown Basel if you look at the price I payed (65 CHF the night) is fantastic, and therefor the 3*! If you go after the room it's only 1* worth. There are no elevators up to the 3rd floor. The rooms are really clean (everything is in Switzerland), but the decoration looks like a bathroom with tiles all over, so no charme at all. But the worst thing is the kitchen on the 2nd floor for the 2 restaurants in the building. It is noisy to at least 11 pm ans i guess if you sleep light, you cant sleep at all! (I mostly did fall a sleep at around 1 am). So if you are on a thight budget (which is almost impossible in this country, a pizza costs 25 CHF to take cheap dishes) and have a heavy sleep, it's an ok place. If not or you are with children, avoid this place

If you want to save money this hotel can be a solution in Basel but not for demanding people. The room is really basic and bare but not dirty. Toilet and shower are outside the room and shared with other guests. There is no breakfast. There is no wifi. There is not a reception, when you get to the hotel you are welcomed in the restaurant. The rooms are on the upper floor. Location of the hotel is very central. Not recommended for business trips due to lack of comfort.

First things first: my one-night stay at Stadthof cost about 1/3 of what I would have paid at any other similarly central Basel hotel. That's worth a star all on its own. That said, know that it's SPARE: I had a tiny little twin "bed" (more of a cot, really) with a separate shared bathroom. The staff was lovely; really helpful and kind. There happened to be a concert happening in the nearby square which lasted until after midnight. I was on the backside of the building, but it was still loud. Even when the music died down, drunk people chatting away in the alley kept me awake for a while. If you're looking for a cheap, clean, well-located budget hub in Basel, go for it. If you're precious about sleep and "amenities," pull out the Amex and fork over (quite) a few more francs.

In terms of location/price ratio, probably one of the best options available in Basel. It is smack-dab in the middle of the city bordering the old town and quite literally in walking distance of all but few of the Basel sights. In return for location and competitive prices, you get basics and basics only. Rooms are up from the restaurant (couple of flights of stairs), clean and sparsely but adequately furnished with television (featuring mostly Swiss, German and French channels) and a small map/guide included. Few electricity sockets (one, two if the lamp is unplugged) and all of the Swiss type so adapter is a must for most. There is a sink with mirror in the room, but the shower and toilet (male female separate) are shared with the other rooms on the floor (about ten of them) and wifi is lacking. Staff are mainly concerned with the restaurant (which is also where the reception desk is) and therefore hotel guests will be accorded a correct but somewhat distant, very functional welcome. Safety is good, with a room key which will also open the main door during non-office hours. Overall good choice if one is looking for a cheap, centrally located place in Basel used for resting between outdoor quests.

For where it is you can get to just about anywhere.Most of the tram routes meet here. The main shopping area for super swiss fashion indulgence is right there,and short walk to the Munster if repentence is your thing. If going for the first time it can be a bit confusing getting from SBB station to hotel Crossing a zigzag of flyovers although its only 500mtrs.Dont forget the important bit that a stay there will get a free travel pass for all the time of stay. Wont say much about the hotel pros and cons as it is fully agreeable to what has already been said by others.The main downside is the noise from the kitchen area which is just down below but the advantages out weigh the niggles,especially the value for money.Dont forget it is Switzerland.

This is definitely the hub of Basel, opposite the Historical museum at the Barflüsserplatz tram station, including the tram noises into late at night. Upstairs to the restaurant with no lifts. Very neat and clean room and shared bathroom facilities. Poor soundproofing; I could hear the guy snoring next door. Being a light sleeper I had to leave one day early for a good night's sleep elsewhere. Should you not mind noise and need a very central location this would be a reasonably priced accommodation.

The location of the hotel is ideally located relatively close not only to the SBB Bahnhof, but also to a large number of Basel's attractions. Compared to Basel hotels it is definitely cheap; however, compared with nearly anywhere else it is a rip-off for what you are getting. No matter what room you book, there will be a common shower and then two bath rooms per floor. (At least 10 rooms per floor) Surprisingly, during my time there I had no problems in regards to the use of the showers or the bathrooms. The bathrooms are well kept and well stocked. The one and only complaint I have is the service. The service wasn't terrible-don't get me wrong-but merely unfriendly and impersonal.

The 8 rooms are located behind and above a restaurant and there's no front lobby. You feel like you're sleeping in the kitchen. It is a central location but was not the most enjoyable. Shared bathroom and shower were nothing special.

Loved the location, right at the start of the shopping street, probably best location in town. Problem is that there is no parking space close, nearest parking garage was about 10 minutes walk. Personnel is really friendly. Rooms don't have their own showers or toilets, there is one shared shower for the 8 rooms. All 8 rooms are on the 4th floor, with no elevator. For Switzerland the place is cheap, but for the facilities you get it really quiet expensive. Overall, not bad.
