What guests think

Travellers describe BLOOM Boutique Hotel & Lounge Basel as a modern, well-located base near trams and Messeplatz, with consistently friendly, helpful staff, good breakfast, and compact rooms whose design sometimes trades storage and space for efficiency.

Recurring drawbacks include the lack of air conditioning in rooms and limited storage or shelving; a few also noted quirky bunk-over-bed layouts. Cleanliness is widely praised, though one review reported a cockroach. Overall, it suits travelers seeking a practical base for exploring Basel.

Nice boutique hotel with a great location. We were greeted by very friendly staff, Ronan was at the front desk, he gave recommendation on things to do as well directions, he was sure to point out the perk of our discount card as well as free transportation. Room was cozy and clean. We would definitely recommend this hotel.

Great hotel outside of the main shopping areas, the Basel card that bloom provides gives you free transit to anywhere in the city making this a great location that is only 5-10 minutes away from the inner city.

This is a nice, rather small boutique hotel with great staff. Just a short walk to the tram lines that can take you anywhere in town in roughly a half hour. Couple that with a free tram/reduced cost museum pass and you're all set to see the town's sights. The bar downstairs is also quite nice to have for such a small hotel. My only real complaint is that they charge (a lot) for a missing key card. (Fortunately, we eventually found it.) Well... one more complaint: Be careful if you get the room with the bunk bed. It's easy for the person on the right side of the queen to hit their head on the upper bed's corner.

Nettes,kleines Hotel, jedoch schwer zu finden, wenn man mit dem Auto kommt. Bei der Buchung incl. Parkplatz bin ich davon ausgegangen, dass das Hotel auf dem eigenen Gelände Parkplätze hat und nicht 800m weiter in einem Parkhaus. Das ist unbequem. Das Hotelzimmer war echt klein, das Bad ebenso, so klein, dass das Waschbecken nicht ins Bad passte, sondern im Zimmer an der Wand war. Merkwürdig. Aber die Mitarbeiter an der Rezeption sind äusserst freundlich, ebenso die Bedienung beim Frühstück. Zu bemerken ist noch, dass die Getränke in der Minibar gratis waren.

This was our first stay after a long international travel day. It was 36C in Basel and with no air conditioning in the room and only a small table fan it was like trying to sleep in a sauna. We barely slept, found a cockroach in our room at 3:00am and finally just got up and left the room at 5:00am to walk around until 7:00am when we could come back for our breakfast and then leave for our next destination. The breakfast itself was lovely, or at least it seemed nice after not eating for 24 hours previous. I wanted to like this hotel as it seemed like a great option but unfortunately it just turned out horribly.

Very nice and clean hotel. The only thing to improve is the fact of having better ventilation in the room (no air conditioning), so it could be hot during summer.

Rooms

Rooms are modern and comfortable but compact, with limited storage and some quirky layouts (such as a queen bed with an overhead bunk) that led a few guests to bump their heads; lighting and mattress firmness drew occasional critique. Lack of air conditioning can make them hot in warm weather, and Wi-Fi performance varies by room.

Friendly staff and a clean, bright space with good blinds. However, the cold concrete floors and lack of storage for clothing are downsides. It feels a bit pricey for what you get.

My only complaint is that the rooms we had included a queen bed and a single bed bunk bed over. The frame of the bunk bed is black metal. In dim light or lights out, both of us, as well as our travel companions in a similar room, banged our heads on the bunk bed. Maybe glow in the dark tape/ paint could be used. Or, I guess we could have been more careful. Lol

It is a boutique hotel as it claims. But has all the comfort and convenience that a big 5 star hotel can offer. Very clean. Location is perfect. Restaurant, grocery shopping, tourist attraction area, 3 stops away from train station and 5 minutes walk to tram station. The staff as other guests have mentioned are extremely nice , helpful and very professional. Mr. Ronan has been my point contact from the moment I made my reservation to check in . He has made everything as pleasant as it could possibly be. They were all lovely people. Thank you Ronan, Jana, and Shokri. I definitely recommend the hotel.

I chose to stay at the BLOOM Boutique Hotel & Lounge Basel for two very practical reasons: price and location. And credit where it’s due—the price was right. The sleeping arrangements, however, were a bit of a plot twist. I booked a room for three: the double bed was great, but the single bunk perched above it felt… creatively ambitious. What really made the stay shine was the staff. They were fantastic,friendly, helpful, and gave such a clear explanation of the tram system that we felt like Basel locals in minutes. We arrived early, and while the room was still being cleaned, they happily stored our luggage. When we returned, our bags had magically appeared in the room, along with some genuinely warm hospitality.
