An excellent location for visiting Basel - close to the centre and accessible to the train and bus station (with airport links). The rooms were well designed and set up, clean and new-looking, and quiet, staff were very friendly and helpful. I will be booking The Passage for my next trip

Beautiful and quiet but too hard bed

Beautiful space, quiet, excellent shower, but the bed was way too hard and the 1 pillow provided too flat, which made the sleep less than great.

Got bus into town and short 10-15 walk to hotel (Free bus from airport if you staying in Basel) room was comfy, clean, excellent powerful hot shower. Very comfy bed, liked how curtains totally blocked out light so get a great nights sleep. Sauna in hotel was very good, needed after a long day in the cold outside. Nice little touches like tea, mulled wine and cookes in reception, again very wlecome after coming in from the cold. Location was great, short walk into town and christmas markets, or to station to get train to Luzern or Zurich or wherever, perfect location in that respect. Staff were beyond excellent, gave us so much advise and just so friendly. Didnt eat at hotel as we were out most the time and so many options around town, but it looked good. Loved our stay

The best staff! The staff here was truly exceptional. Their friendliness, helpfulness and attentive service is beyond compare. Every single person made us feel like we were someone important. The hotel was very nice too - comfortable and quiet. The Basel Card they gave us was a nice perk too, giving us free access to public transit and discounts at attractions. I would consider returning to Basel even more, just to stay here again.

Great hotel, staff were lovely and the hotel was clean. Very easy to get to places. Free buses and trams with a ticket the hotel gives you which was great. Really enjoyed our stay and the breakfast! 12pm check out too which is great.
