Such lovely accommodation for couples
We loved the location, the view from our room, staff’s decency, pillow selections, and free bike rental services. We would definitely stay there again if we can come back to Basel in the future.

Amazing stay, highly recommend!!
This may have been my best hotel stay to date. Traveling from the US to visit the Basel Christmas markets and Hotel Spalentor was centrally located, easy to find, staff was lovely and incredibly helpful, room was beyond expectations, complimentary breakfast had a wide offering and was nicely done - it was a wonderful stay!

Very happy with our stay
Upgraded to a comfort room and offered late check-out, both of which we very much appreciated. The front desk staff are friendly and courteous. The hotel location provides immediate access to the old part of the city and is no more than 10 minutes' walk from the centre.

Absolutely loved this hotel. The front desk staff are so friendly and helpful.
The room was large and the bed was the most comfortable of all the places we stayed in Europe. Great breakfast. A very convenient location to walk to old town and easy to access the transit system as well.
