Great receptionists

The receptionists were really friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the stay but I really have to praise the receptionists in particular.

Wonderful hotel, note the lack of air conditioning

I had failed to note that Hotel Alexander does not have air conditioning, and it was very, very hot. Mid 90s Fahrenheit (low 30s Celsius). So we were not comfortable, but in all other respects, this hotel was wonderful. The staff were all helpful, kind, and professional. The tram stop was a 2 minute walk. The free breakfast was hot and delicious. The WiFi worked. The room was spacious for European hotel rooms, and we loved the large balcony patio. Great for a family of 4.

Harmen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Reception staff came quickly and was friendly and helpful. Tight car parking, but very close. Nice restaurant attached with live music and chef who showed us proper way to eat some Ukranian dishes. Greet street car access to various sites. Our std double room had a small, but very workable bathroom. Our window opened into a building filled court yard.

Good location

I often choose this hotel when travelling to Basel, not far from the congress center and practical. Rooms are clean.
MOURAD, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very comfortable and clean double room! Our stay in Alexander Hotel was nice, breakfast was good and there were sweet and salty delicious meals. The position is strategic and perfectly linked to the city centre (500 meters on foot) with bus and tram stop in front of the hotel! The structure is located near a very quiet road: our 3 nights were pleasant! I recommend it for your stay in Basel! See you next time, thankss!

Nice stay

The elevator was not large, but they can help you with the luggage. The front desk is very helpful in directions and they provide Basel card for the duration of the trip- which is a pleasant surprise (allowing you all the public transportation for free in the city)

Great hotel with questionable breakfast

Brilliant room, great staff, breakfast was nasty. Stone cold scrambled eggs, very odd tasting sausages and nothing else hot.

Decent stay

Comfortable hotel with all you would need in a decent location - 20 minutes walk to the centre. Comes with Basel card allowing free transport round the city.
Caitlin, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is conveniently located near Messenplatz tram station and the convention center. The rooms smaller that typical US hotels but are clean has everything needed for a comfortable stay. Staff was very helpful and cheerful.
Vijaykumar, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

They gave me a room for 4 people when I am alone and charged CDN353 per night. No bath soap, no shampoo, only hand soap, small towels, unhelpful reception staff. Bare floors through out.
Ismail, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not a great experience. Very basic room, very limited breakfast, loud construction right in front of hotel. Would not return
Kristy, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The commode, bathroom door and shower were broken... when I pointed it out they said they would give me extra towels to clean up the pool of water on floor from the broken commode and shower.
Raymond, 1-night trip

Clean adaptable rooms. Comfy beds and immaculate bathrooms. Only downside was I didn’t realize there was no AC . A fan was provided though
Anne Marie, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very clean, safe and quiet hotel. Has everything you need. Fresh espresso pods everyday to go woth thr espresso maker. Fresh bottles of still spring water. A fridge and TV. In a good location. Less than 30 mins walk from Basel SBB and less than 10 to the city centre. Staff were also very friendly and helpful. The room was cosy and comfortable and had everythinf you need as a solo traveller.

Great breakfast

Make sure you include breakfast in your reservation. It’s the best deal in Basel. Great location near many transit lines but walked from SSB in 35 minutes before got Basel pass. Comfortable room with opening windows. Cons were shower door opens into bathroom so can’t step onto mat and keep floor dry. Also, on Saturday night, loud music came from outside until 2 am.
Donna, 3-night trip
