Top Basel Natural History Museum Hotel Reviews

Hotel D - Basel - Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"We had a very nice stay at Hotel D in Basel. The hotel was modern, clean, comfortable, and in a great location for exploring the city. The staff were friendly and helpful, and overall we had a very pleasant experience. The only drawbacks were that the air conditioning was intermittent during our stay, and there was construction outside our window, which was a little noisy at times. Aside from those issues, everything else was great, and we would happily consider staying at Hotel D again when visiting Basel."

"I have stayed here previously when it was self check in. Now they have 24 hour service. I found check in and luggage storage very easy as I was early. And then I had a very pleasant room upgrade with a spectacular view of river. A nice touch was the selection of juice and pop in the fridge. And having a fan in the room was excellent. Very happy to stay and come back"
