The hotel is very nice and really in a good situation, near the center of the city. Rooms are well decored and spacious, price is reasonable for Basel ! The only negative was the entrance of the parking, too tight to go out without scratching the car !

If you seek spacious quarters near the University, with comfortable though dated surroundings then this hotel is worth considering. But the indifferent and even begrudging service, noisy neighbors and general lack of any feel good factor mean I will not return. My room number 103 was decidedly large with abundant storage space, a comfortable bed and good quality linens. But... More

On arrival in Basel go to a Tourist Info place where, if you are booked into a hotel that night, they will give you directions and your free voucher for the trams. Hotel Rochat easy to find and near tram stop. Staff friendly. They are refurbishing the rooms and must have given us a newly done one, as it was... More

I chose the Rochat because it was the highest-ranked in the old-town part of Basel. Perfect location - it's on a quiet street next to St. Peter's church, half a block from the University, and a few minutes down narrow winding streets to the Marketplatz. The rooms are reasonably sized (for Europe) and very quiet other than occasional plumbing sounds... More

We were here for 7 nights and will be returning. The young woman at the front desk was very helpful (even though we only spoke English). The room was plenty big (especially by European standards), the bath was very nice and beds were comfortable. Our room was on the side of the building so our "neighbor" was St. Peter's Church....

This place is the best. Air conditioning, free wifi, so quiet that I wasn't sure there were any other guests here (though I know it was booked solid my entire stay). Bathroom is large and bright, beds are so comfortable that I want to take them home with me. Convenient to everything! Marktplatz is just down the alleyway stairs. If... More

The hotel is not very fancy nor does it offer any extras but the location is just perfect. In a couple of minutes you're in the city center with all its restaurants, bars and shops. Also, you can get easily to the board of the river Rhine which is a nice place to hang out during warm summer month (unfortunately... More

We stayed at this hotel before and found it back as we remembered it: clean, friendly, with spacious rooms and close to the city center. The hotel offers great fares and offers all amnesties one would need during a short city trip. Bus connection to the airport are close-by as well as trams to the central station. During summer, the... More

My 16 year old daughter and I stayed two nights this week as part of a getaway to Europe. I was happy to find a hotel at a lower price, and was very pleased. All staffmembers were pleasant and helpful, the location is good for sightseeing - and Room 103 with very large bath was spotless. Loved the down comforters,... More

The location of the hotel is excellent, only a few minutes walk (down a few flights of steep stairs I should add, so if you are averse to those try a different hotel or use the public transport) from the old town centre. It was easy to find with a SatNav. The room ( we were in 216) was clean,... More
