Great location near the train station and close to the old town. Room was a good size, clean and modern. Met our expectations. Only disappointment was the room wasn't ready on arrival but it was early so understandable.

Hotel City Inn guestes are advised to check in at Hotel Euler which is located right outside Basel central station so ideal if arriving in the city by train. Upon check in, I was advised that I had been upgraded from City Inn to Hotel Euler, which was nice.

This place was a choice due to it's central location to the main train station and trams. The room was a good size and clean, with a really cool lime-green decor. The bathroom was nice and had a big shower area. Nice! The only issues I had were that it was a bit noisy in the room because the walls... More

We stayed at the City Inn Basel in mid January. It is situated just outside the central train station, and next to the bus connections. The room was immaculate. There was a claustrophobic effect to the room. We were on the first floor, but felt like we were in a basement. However, the room had the most amazing shower I... More

Dear Hotel City-Inn Guest Thank you very much for your positive review. From your explanations I understand you had a room facing the court with a so-called rain-shower. See you soon again at the Hotel City Inn. Kind regards. Marie-France Richert More

This hotel was perfect for our needs. It was very easy to get to from the airport (no. 50 bus drops you off a two minute walk away). Check in was easy and painless in their attractive lobby, the bellhop showed us to our room which was a little bit of a trek as it is in, effectively, a hotel... More

Great location near to the railway station and to other amenities like Paddy Reillys Irish pub!
