Top 10 Festhalle Hotels

I can not thank Alisa enough for the support, help and assistance this morning, She have been not only extremely helpful but also absolutely kind. I have to say that it confirms and exceeds my opinion and appreciation for this hotel and service. I will continue to promote the amazing team and best class service, you can count on my support 😊 I look forward to seeing you again soon and in the meantime wishing all the very best to you and the team, Sincerely,

There is still some distance from basel sbb, about 8-10 minutes walking time, or two tram stops at the train station, which is much closer. Except that the location is not perfect, everything else is very satisfactory. I like the decoration style of the hotel. The rooms are also spacious. The bathroom is separated from wet and dry, and the sanitary condition is also good. The breakfast choices are mainly bread, meat, scrambled eggs, dairy products, juice and coffee. The variety is enough for me.

Super central location on the Middle Bridge, stylishly furnished rooms, clean, free water and sweets on the floor, fast and uncomplicated check-in and check-out. Overall very recommended! Some bars in the street where the hotel is, i.e. if you want to sleep early, you should probably have Ohropax with it. But for example for Silvester/New Year, for example, it was absolutely super!

The Hotel is very nice and modern but it’s somehow a branch of the older hotel in front. If you arrive after 4PM the door is closed and you have to checkin in the hotel in front. Bit hard to find the right place at first as there were no signs or at least not visible at night. The hotel otherwise has absolutely no staff. Breakfast is the older hotel too. The room itself is modern and fully equipped with kitchen and washer drier and dishwasher. Upper cabinets were full depth and a bit odd as they stocked out too much and into the path for the bathrooms. Wi-Fi was a bit anemic. Hard to find a good place to charge your devices. Some things in the fridge were free but not entirely clear which and the ones you paid were 5 star hotel prices. The bedroom had a huge bulkhead that made it very uncomfortable for someone sleeping on that side of the bed to get up in the middle of the night. No places to put your suitcase either and the only wardrobe was very far from the bedroom. Really confusing switches all over the place. Breakfast was nice but very slow. You have to order your coffee and eggs to be done. There was virtually no pastries.

The room was spacious, the design was comfortable and there was a free Minibar. Breakfast was well prepared and the staff was friendly. Located in the center, there would be a little party music at night.

Meeting in the convention center, the nearby hotel is more expensive than the hotel in the center of the old city, and I decided to live in this one which takes twenty minutes to walk to the venue, it turns out to be very wise. The free bus card given by the hotel has a direct tram to the venue every day out of the alley, which is really convenient. The whole journey takes less than ten minutes. Surrounded by restaurants and shops, chocolate shops and coffee shops have various options. One hundred meters away from the hotel, there is the University of Basel Drug Museum, which is estimated to be the most complete museum in Europe and the world to preserve the history of the development of western medicine. . The room was clean, the single room was just right for one person, the shampoo worked well, no toothbrush and toothpaste, slippers, no hot water, two bottles of mineral water, aerated and non-aerated. I went to the restaurant on the first floor (good business at night) and asked for hot water twice. The waiters were enthusiastic and embarrassed.

I had a fantastic weekend at the Krafft a warm welcome from friendly staff delightful decor and a great room. The location is perfect for exploring Basel and enjoying the Christmas markets . Delicious breakfast overlooking the river. It was a wonderful weekend start to finish I'll definitely be back. The travel ticket you get means getting around is easy on the trams Basel is also a very walkable city and the hotel is perfectly located next to the river crossing the bridges on foot or by tram and bus or even the lovely boats that zigzag the river

We had a two day stay at this hotel on the way to Paris. This is a charming hotel with a historic facade but modern and renovated interior. We had the Queen room and whilst only 20 sq mtrs felt very spacious. Location is prefect for those with luggage and arriving by train as the station is across the road. We had a lovely view of the station and no noise could be heard with the windows closed. We often opened the windows to soak up the atmosphere of the trams and buskers and the hustle and bustle of the station. The old town is not far away and easily walkable but the hotel provides free public transport cards which makes it even easier to visit the city and surrounds. Some lovely old buildings and a marketplace to visit. We did not have breakfast at this hotel but there is a large supermarket next door where drinks, food, bakery items can be purchased. The bar/ restaurant downstairs has inside and outside seating with the outside area great for watching people and the station happenings. If we return this would be our hotel of choice. Switzerland is a very expensive country so expect to pay a lot more for drink and food than you do at home. A block away is Markthalle an upmarket food court with cuisines from all over the world. We ate here both nights as the food was so good.

The Steinenschanze is a good choice for visiting Basel. The hotel is clean. The staff is friendly. The breakfast is good. The location is good, but not directly in the middle of the tourist fray of the old city. And the rooms have air conditioning, which was definitely needed as the temperatures reached 87 F (30.5 C). A few additional notes: Breakfast: You can get the all-you-can-eat buffer for 25 Euros or the ”small breakfast” for 9 Euros. I found the small breakfast to be sufficient for me. It consists of two scrambled eggs, bread and croissants, whole fruit, coffee or tea, and juice. That was enough for me. The buffet adds quiche, cheese, cold cuts, grilled vegetables, cut-up fresh fruit, and much more. Getting there: The hotel is near the main train station for Swiss destinations (SBB Bahnhof). Nonetheless, I strongly advise against walking to the hotel unless you know the route and you have limited baggage. The way is perfectly safe. That's not the issue. But the roads are confusing, and one can easily get lost. Also, your options are walking on the sidewalk along a 4-lane expressway or crossing the expressway, walking down through a park into the valley, and then going back up a hill with a 70-steps staircase. There is a better solution: take the bus. The no. 30 bus departs from the station and stops right outside the hotel Stop: Scheinenschanze. If you are coming from Germany, you will arrive at the Badischer Bahnhof. In fact, the Badischer Bahnhof and the SBB Bahnhof are the two termini for the no. 30 bus. So just take the bus. You don't even need a ticket if you are taking the us directly to your hotel, as you will receive a Basel Card public transportation pass upon check-in, which will retroactively cover your bus trip.
