What guests think

Across reviews, Hotel Rheinfelderhof stands out for its central tram access and welcoming staff, delivering solid value and generally clean rooms, though spaces are often compact and the building can feel dated in parts.

Common drawbacks include no air conditioning leading to warm rooms, street or tram noise, occasional weak Wi‑Fi on upper floors, and an elevator that stops at the third floor and has been under maintenance at times. Breakfast opinions range from good to basic, and several guests noticed cooking smells from the attached restaurant in corridors. Overall, it suits travelers seeking an affordable, straightforward base in Basel.

It’s located in a convenient location. Multiple trams from the central station can reach the hotel easily with short walking distance. There are super markets and cafe and restaurants around. The room is clean, bright and comfy. The toilet is modern. The lift is not working and if you carry a big luggage you need to consider this point. The booking comes with a 2-day free city pass that’s very helpful.

Unexpectedly, we were provided Basel cards that covered tram and bus transportation and reduced entry to museums. There are three major trams at the hotel doorstep, making getting to town center a five minute ride. We liked being by local neighborhood shops and restaurants. The hotel restaurant is not only good, but has very friendly staff. I would choose this place again. Note, this is by no means the Ritz, but clean, safe, friendly and affordable go a long way for me.

Front staff was simply charming, friendly and over the top understanding to our plight....we arrived 5 hours early for check in. It was raining, 8C degrees and miserable. Wonderful front staff took pity on us and checked us in early so we could warm ourselves and rest. She was a lifesaver.

Hotel muy básico. Habitación pequeña, camas y almohadas muy blandas. El hotel está lejos del centro y de la estación de tren pero bien comunicado con el tranvía. El desayuno es muy básico: tostadas, croissants y poco más… No estaba sucio pero si te fijabas en los detalles como los rincones, le faltaba estar más limpio. En la terraza encontramos colillas de otros huéspedes.

Nicht gut und überteuert. Zimmer war nicht sauber und es hat im ganzen Hotel bestialisch nach altem Fett und Küche gestunken weil die Küche im EG die Tür offen hatte. Der Gestank ging durch alle Korridore selbst in den 2ten Stock. Die Lüftung im Bad hat dann noch fröhlich den Gestank von der Küche ins Bad geholt. Das Personal war aber sehr nett und der Parkplatz gut

An sich war das ein recht angenehmer Aufenthalt, aber ohne WLAN in der oberen Etage für einen Journalisten, der arbeiten musste, eine Katastrophe. Von der Rezeption wurde immer behauptet, dass auch oben im Haus das WLAN funktioniert, aber nie getestet. Mich hat der kurze Aufenthalt gut 200 EUR an Roaming-Gebühren (da die Schweiz ja nun mal nicht zur EU gehört) gekostet, die ich gerne vom Hotel ersetzt bekommen möchte ........

good location for getting into the walkable city of Basel. Unfortunately I had a couple of issues during my stay. Although check-in is listed as being available after a certain time, when I arrived at 8 pm there was no-one at reception and had to wait 15 minutes until someone responded to the phone available on the reception desk. That said the actual check-in was done well. Secondly, after arriving in my room for my second night I discovered the window had been left open on a day of near freezing temperatures. Also, despite leaving my towels on the towel rails I found they had been removed and not replaced. Reception were able to supply only a hand towel and bath mat, which meant no shower that evening or the following morning before I checked out

The description and pictures shown in Expedia do not match with reality. First of all, It does not have a parking that belongs to the hotel. I had to park 5 blocks from the hotel in a public parking. The elevator is unsafe and looks pretty old. They do not have AC. The hotel staff provided me a small fan for my wife, my son and I. The breakfast was dirty. I saw multiple flies around the bread, ham and yogurt. The staff didn’t even bother to take care of this issue. I do not recommend this place. I do not put this kind of comments but I feel the duty to do so.
