Top Sankt Alban Hotel Reviews

ibis budget Basel City

10/10 Excellent

"Good location and comfortable room but no kettle, iron, dryer etc."

Essential by Dorint Basel City

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was nice and clean, check in was smooth and everyone is so friendly and welcoming. The room I booked came with a free mini bar which was great. The area is quiet but very close to bus stop and trams to get around thw city. The breakfast has great options and was very tasty"

City Inn Basel

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice place to use as a base. Location is perfect for exploring Basel. Facilities were clean and perfectly functional for our needs. The breakfast was ample, with a good variety of fresh food and drinks. There is a bit of a walk from reception to the room but not excessive and does involve a couple of flights of stairs. Breakfast is on the 8th floor which you can get to by lift. From here you have lovely views over the city. The staff were always helpful when we had questions. Would recommend for a budget friendly option with great location."

ibis Styles Basel City

8/10 Good

"Overall this is a very good hotel. The rooms are very clean, the staff are superb and very helpful. I especially liked them providing me with a bottle to fill with water, freely available on each floor -this was wonderful. My only criticism, and I’m being pedantic, is that it’s not obvious where to pay for items in reception fridges, I queued at bar only to be told I had to wait behind 5 people at reception waiting to checkout (I was joined by 6 others waiting to pay for same items at bar) But that shouldn’t put you off this excellent hotel."
