Across the reviews, ibis Basel Bahnhof is valued for its superb location by Basel SBB and tram links, consistently kind, helpful staff, and clean, straightforward rooms that deliver a smooth, hassle free stay for short city visits.

Rooms are compact and well soundproofed, but amenities are minimal (often no kettle, fridge, or safe), and a few guests mention temperature control or a lack of air conditioning. Breakfast attracts frequent praise for quality and selection, though some find it expensive or the room noisy. Expect a practical, no-frills base steps from the station.

This hotel is really convenient for the main railway station (SBB and SNCF). After a day exploring the city and surrounding area the bar offers a selection of drinks and snacks before ascending to your room. This was most welcome during this particular stay as there was an unexpected mini heatwave!

Good location within walking distance of the riverside area. Hotel does have parking but there are two issues to beware of. Firstly there are no directions to the entrance or instructions about how to enter. Also the entrance is very very steep and cars with limited ground clearance will not safely exit without grounding !!!

Position of the shower head points towards the door. After taking a shower water was all over the floor outside meaning there must be a leak or that the door is not well insulated to prevent water from flowing out. Mat towel was wet and had to wipe dry the floor. What an inconvenience.

Ideally situated (for us at least) by the main station but still within walking distance to the main town. Staff were very friendly (and very patient in putting up with my attempt to try German!). First time in an Ibis and would definitely try one again based on our experience in Basel. No kettle in the room which was a shame but seemed to be the standard in Switzerland based on our other hotel stays!

We picked this hotel based on location and the many mentions of the helpful staff. The staff is amazing and Danielle at the front desk helped us arrange our lodging in Lucerne, provided detailed info about the train options to Colmar, Lucerne, and then Paris. The location proved as a great “home base” for our day trips. The 16 tram is right outside the front door, the “local” side of the train station is walking distance. For our trip to Paris we took a different tram to the front side of the train station where trains to Paris left from. You could walk through the back/local side but we had large luggage. The rooms were clean and bright, left luggage was easy to arrange, there are lots of dining options nearby, the TV had English options, there is a hairdryer supplied, and the beds were comfortable. The hotel is fine but it is the knowledgeable, kind staff that makes this hotel shine! We look forward to returning!

The staff was eager to help with directions to things we wanted to get to. Location was very close to trams to get to anywhere. The train station and bus station were very close. Don't plan on doing your laundry in this city. There is only one laundromat and we couldn't get it to work, nor was there anyone to ask. This is a great city to visit. The river and the things around it were amazing. We would definitely stay at this hotel again.

バーゼル中央駅の裏手にあり、空港バス(50番)を降りてからだと徒歩5、6分の立地。午前中の到着となったため荷物を預かってもらったが、フロントの対応は常にとても親切だった。近くにはスーパー(coop)があり、駅前にはマクドナルドやスターバックスもあるため、夜遅くに戻っても食事には困らなかった。今回はテニス観戦のため宿泊したが、トラムの駅が近くにあるのもとても便利だった。部屋自体は決して広くはないものの、1人で泊まるには十分な大きさであり、ヨーロッパ基準で言えばシャワーの水圧も良い方だと感じた。部屋にティッシュがない点や、ベッド近くにコンセントがない点は少し残念だが、スタッフの対応等含め総じて見ればとても良いホテルだと思います。
