I've stayed here for several business trips during 2010 and 2011. The hotel is very clean, friendly, and modern, but considering the hefty price there is definitely room for improvement. The king beds are often two twins pushed together and the room amenities seem to vary greatly floor to floor (and maybe within a the floor) and I wasn't charged... More

We stayed here for a long weekend to visit the Basel Christmas markets. Consistent with the other reviews the hotel staff are very friendly and welcoming. Moreover, the hotel itself is very well kept and relatively modern in style. The bed configuration was not very comfortable as they had pushed two single beds together to make a queen bed. Throughout... More

Location is excellent and the staff is top-notch. Rooms are roomy and comfortable. I think the hotel is due for a "refresh" but I still give it an excellent rating. More

I've been hosted in Swissotel Le Plaza several times during 2009, 2010 and 2011. The service is really good and the staff is very nice. Rooms are comfortable and clean but the beds "age" is something to improve. The hotel location is wonderful, lot of trams stops in front of the hotel and if you travel in Christmas you'll be... More

We stayed at the Swissotel on our way to a Viking River Cruise. We arrived completely exhausted to a spotless clean room, friendly Front Desk Agent and a great bellperson who showed us all the amenities including the "water cooker", the kettle which gave us a giggle. Windows that open-heaven! We booked the hotel in advance so were on a... More

Excellent location and easy access to major sites in Basel, either we are there for business or pleasure. The hotel is the essence of what the business traveler might need. Many outlets to feed our hungry appliances, friendly and courteous employees and rooms quite spacious, even if with limited space to store the cloths, especially important if we have to... More

I have stayed at this hotel many times and you can rely on certain things: the staff, especially the front desk, will be helpful and friendly; the rooms will be clean and comfortable; the breakfast will be wonderful; the location will be convenient to the major museums, downtown area and the major businesses (e.g., Novartis). All of my previous stays... More

Stayed on business. This hotel has all I look for in a business hotel and I cannot fault any aspect of my stay. Internet is fast, service good, love the expresso machine in the room and gym/sauna is good. English TV channels (not just CNN, BBC World etc). Breakfast OK but nothing special for the price. The lower rating on... More

Stayed here while on Business in Basel - the rooms are spacious and the service from everyone from front desk to bellhops to cleaners is discreet and professional with great "little touches" (the turndown service etc). The restaurant has great food, but I did find the service a little slow even though it was by no means full. Likewise, the... More
