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!

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.

Un hôtel sympa !

L'hôtel est très confortable. Il nous a offert les transports gratuits et diverses réductions tout au long de notre séjour. Le réceptionniste est d'une gentillesse remarquable et parle français. De 6h30 à 21h, le café est offert. L'hôtel est bien situé, le lit confortable, ka salle de bains aussi. En revanche, notre séjour s'est déroulé en pleine canicule et le petit ventilateur non rotatif n'était pas suffisant. Il faisait bien trop chaud.

True reality

Whilst checking in, receptionist was in a hurry to leave. Couldn’t ask her fwhether cot was in place. Found cot wasn’t there. Needed kettle, bowl, microwave. Receptionist who came the next day gave these. Other staff very nice and polite. Internet didn’t work until we left. Hot drinks available 6.30 - 21.00.

The hotel is in a great area near a tram stop. The restaurant has interesting Ukrainian cuisine, for dining indoors or out. There are several other restaurants very close. The staff was professional, if not especially friendly. There is no front desk staff available overnight.

My review would have been much better had I not been charge way more than the price I booked it at through Expedia. The price when we booked was about $220 Canadian dollars. We chose to pay when we arrived. However when we got there we were charged over $600! I can understand that it was because EuroVision was taking place. Maybe it’s Expedia’s fault and I shouldnt be making this the hotels fault. In any event. The room was clean. It’s in a good location.
