Our stay in Helvetia Hotel of Basel was very nice. The services are great and the employees always smiling and ready to help. It's clean and the breakfast is very tasty. The hotel is very near to the railway station, but it's placed on a quiet street. You can get anywhere from there really easy. Not far from the airport.... More

This hotel was an ideal location just next to the train station and bus to the airport. We were only staying here for one night on a stop over after getting train from zurich and flight to alicante the next morning. The staff were nice and pleasant. This is just a small hotel and we had booked a triple room.... More

By no means 3 star standart... More

this describes itself as a quiet select hotel with a personal touch, but it wasn't quiet and it's not particularly select. staff were helpful when we complained about the noise in our room which was at the front of the hotel, they did move us to a room at the back of the hotel, which was sadly almost as noisy....
