What guests think

HYPERION Hotel Basel draws frequent praise for its convenient tramside location, skyline views, generally modern rooms, and friendly, helpful staff, with many guests also enjoying a plentiful breakfast and useful extras like a free minibar or executive lounge access.

Common downsides include long check-in lines and perceived understaffing at busy times. Rooms can feel compact with very soft pillows, and housekeeping or replenishment was occasionally missed. Facilities feedback is mixed, with intermittent AC/HVAC performance, limited or paid parking, the gym or spa sometimes closed for renovation, and bar or room-service hours not always convenient. Overall, expect a convenient high-rise base with more strengths than flaws.

It was overall of excellent standards however beds not exactly comfortable and pillows were extremely soft (in a bad way) and beds did not seem to be straight as we got the sensation that the head part was collapsing making you feel like you are sleeping upside down. Also, extremely gimmicky to use lifts due to different cards and designated lifts for different areas. Having said that, staff was incredibly polite and professional, they accommodated a very special request to fantastic standards and promptly, hotel was clean as you’d expect and overall a very high standard service (including catering)

Eine Mitarbeiterin auf dem Feierabend weg teilte uns dann mit man muss erst zum Check-in dort heißt es dann es gibt keine parkplätze man müsse halt schauen wo außerhalb des Hotels was frei seie. Sehr schade. Frühstück sehr überschaubar aber ausreichend

I'm frequently travelling to Basel and I always wanted to check out the Hyperion. My main reasons for booking this hotel were the gym and wellness part so I can recharge at the end of a couple long days. It turned out that the gym/wellness was closed due to renovation. I get irritated by hotels that do not inform the guests prior to booking. I would have expected the Hyperion management being able to manage the distribution of relevant information but instead the hotel information were not updated, setting wrong expectations and allowing disappointments to occur. Additionally they had massive issues with their IT systems which didn't allow me to extend my stay. Therefore I had to check out and book another hotel. Overall pretty unlucky events paired with unsatisfying experiences and improvable management. If anyone is reading this - the hotel is nice so I don't recommend to avoid the hotel. The quality of my stay simply wasn't on par with the money I paid for it.

2 nights stay to explore Basel, excellent reception staff, limited underground hotel parking but multi storey car park opposite with reduced rates via hotel. Tram system on doorstep with the impressive messe platz to see. Rooms a little small and a bit too hot but very nice bathrooms. Excellent breakfast buffet and very helpful staff. Try the Thai place Boo around the corner for dinner, it’s excellent.

The hotel itself is very nice, modern, clean, and comfortable beds. It appears to be poorly staffed. There were long lines to check in, very long wait times at the bar/restaurant, and no housekeeping service to clean our room during our 3 day stay. When we checked in the representative said the items in the mini bar were free (included) and it would be refilled daily. It was never replenished during our stay. There were gates up all around the outside of the hotel, not sure why. We stayed here as part of a Viking pre-cruise addition and added a day to our stay via Expedia.

On the positive side. Lovely room, fantastic fresh breakfast and easy access to old town. The negatives. Room not ready on first night, this problem impacted lots of guests. We eventually got a room at 17:00 and just made our dinner reservation in town. Reception staff were obviously under stress for the whole time we were at the hotel, there appeared to be a skeleton crew running the hotel. No explanation given for delays. Room not cleaned on second day. Third day normal service resumed.

This is my preferred hotel in Basel. Everything just works. However, this time I got a super small room with a great pillar in front of the window. Mind you, the window only had a view of a giant roof so maybe I didn't miss much. I guess this was just one of the less lucky rooms.

Pros: - Staff are absolutely dedicated, knowledgeable and on top of things! - Trams stop right next to the hotel, and it's within walking distance to much of the town. Also, right next door to exhibition hall. Cons: - HVAC is mediocre at best, but they do at least have fans that will be brought to the room. Shouldn't be necessary though, particularly in winter! - Inhouse dining is good but truly expensive. - Rooms are pretty cramped.
