Hotel Baslertor

What guests think

Across recent reviews, Hotel Baslertor is praised for its central, walkable location near the river and station, generally clean rooms, and a pleasant pool area, with recurring notes about limited amenities and inconsistent or absent air conditioning.

Room size ranges from spacious family rooms and terraces to smaller spaces, with comfortable beds and generally quiet interiors, though some furnishings feel basic or a bit tired. Service is widely described as helpful, with smooth check-in and proactive problem-solving, but front desk presence can be limited and there are a few negative encounters. The outdoor pool and hot tub are appreciated yet may close earlier seasonally, and there is no on-site breakfast though nearby cafes are convenient. Expect a simple, well-located base with dependable comfort and some trade-offs.

The hotel and staff were great. Friendly and helpful. Hotels.com made two reservations for us when I only needed one. When i called Hotels.com they did not help and I was charged twice. I worked with the staff at the front desk and they were able to sell the extra room and refunded me. Hotel pool was very nice.

Location was very good. The room was “tired” but fairly clean. Bring your own toiletries: only hand sanitizer in a dispenser by the sink and liquid soap in the bathtub dispenser. The pool and hot tub were closed for the season, earlier than was indicated in the information provided at booking, one of the reasons for making this choice. We only saw the desk attendant once at check in, otherwise we came and went without seeing a soul.

Great property just 5 min walk away from shopping and main dinning area but still in a very quiet zone. Property had pool and outside sit down area which is very nice. One of the rare property in Swiss which provided both AC ( small but working ), fan and elevator. Rooms are on the small side specially of travelling with kids but were ok for shorter stay.

Me gustó mucho la posición del hotel, por la relación posición-precio. Tienes cerca todo. No me gustó la falta de servicios (no hay frigobar, el aire acondicionado rumoroso, la recepción está siempre vacía a menos que hables por teléfono para que vayan: además es peligroso). Que tengas que pagar 10 francos por dejar tu maleta tras el check-out. La señora que me entregó la maleta al final de la estadía fue súmante descortés y antipática.

We traveled in March. This hotel has potential to be great but it’s missing simple things that could make a traveler feel comfortable. They had no coffee maker in the room, nor even in the lobby. Everything in the near vicinity was outrageously priced. There are signs in the room saying you are not allowed to even eat in your room which is ridiculous! “Due to hygiene reasons?? Give me a break, do it if you want to risk a 100$ fine! I will not return to this hotel based on the cost and what was received.
