Hotel Birsighof Basel City Center

I had a nice stay in this hotel in Basel. Room was fine, clean and bed comfortable. Bathroom really small, but everything needed is there. Personnel kind and environment calm, not far to the main tram lines. Good ratio quality/price. I will come back again.

A great place to stay in Basel. Location is perfect, easy walking distance to zoo, Basel Sbb amd mamy ttam stations nearby. Hotel staff are friendly and helpful. Room is spacious, very clean and comfortable. It is also relatively quiet. A great place to stay in Basel.

Everything was excellent. Reception at front desk so kind and gave key info on transportation and guidance for the Citi.

the staff were friendly and accomodating. they spoke English. the property included an amazing breakfast. i would recommend this property

Nice hotel close to the Basel train station and convenient to historic city center.

Everything is great. Just note that the shower area is a bit tight.

This hotel is NOT what it claims to be. Instances include but are not limited to: 1. The room advertised false and/or misleading to the consumer. The room in reality is bare-bones, with only a towel, one wash cloth, and a cheap and integrating bar of soap in the bathroom. 2. The room was quite dirty and uncared for, as if it is a hostel for college students. 3. The front desk staff was rarely available. We had to wait for the cleaning lady to buzz him, and he then took time to come to the front desk and seemed irritable because of the afternoon call. 4. The check-in process was excruciatingly slow. The front desk misspelled our name and we had to wait for him to reenter and reprint our Switzerland government paid for and included travel cards (discounts to museums, free rides on transits). 5. Less than 3 hours of being present, having not used the bathroom nor unpacked, I went to the front desk and said we were leaving. He demanded payment for both nights. I said no, we were present for a couple hours, did nothing, and are leaving. He then THREATENED to lock the hotel door and hold us hostage until the police came unless we paid right then on the card. 6. The hotel revoked our city travel passes which, I believe, is illegal to do. My life was threatened. My wife’s life was threatened. I felt required to pay in order to escape. On our honeymoon, nonetheless. I question the reviews on any site for Hotel Birsighof. Stay elsewhere!
