What guests think

Across reviews, Hotel Wettstein is praised for spotless rooms, warm and helpful staff, and a convenient base near trams, the old town, and museums, with thoughtful perks like free coffee and minibars, plus a widely loved, generous breakfast.

The most frequent downsides are warm or stuffy nights due to a lack of air conditioning and noise in street-facing rooms, with a few remarks about limited parking and occasionally less accommodating front-desk interactions. Overall, this is a solid, well-run city stay; choosing a garden-side room can further improve comfort.

The attention to detail is exceptional. From the free coffee and tea in the lobby, to the umbrella in each room to the power banks to borrow. Excellent value for money.

This hotel is possibly THE BEST HOTEL I have ever stayed in. Myself and colleagues were there for a couple of nights and all commented on the comfort and cleanliness of the rooms, the delicious breakfast (especially the pastries) and the nice additional touches (a games room, use of umbrellas, well-stocked complimentary mini bar ...) I will always now use this hotel for our trips to Basel.

I sayed in the hotel for one night with my wife. We arrived there after a long drive hoping we can get a good night rest. The room itself was clean and provided us with everything we needed. Unfortunately, the hotel rooms are poorly isolated. We were woken up by sounds coming from different rooms starting 6 30 AM. We couldn’t sleep well and woke up with terrible headaches.

The hotel has rooms facing a noisy street and the garden. Only if you book superior rooms you are entitled to a garden room. The rooms do not have aircondition, so if you have a street room, and you need windows open, it will be very noisy. The staff is not very kind or helpful in trying to accommodate your wish, already at booking to have a room facing the garden. You are just being told to book a superior room, which is a bit too much for single person business purposes. I would urge the staff to be a bit more personal at check in and in their overall communication.

Very elegantly renovated hotel in great area of Basel. Nice simple breakfast with free choice of eggs. Only coffee from machine, not from espresso machine. Also, every floor have a coffee /tea/water machine with real water glasses, but why are coffee cups in cartons? And not real cups? Is this the most sustainable solution? Reception was a bit arrogant depending on person, but overall nice and the buildings/interior is so great!!
