I stayed in a single room, and I didn't expect it to be so tiny. It doesn't have a closet. If you are a light sleeper you have to know it is noisy. You can hear people from the street, and upstairs neighbours walking. It is very well located, everything important is walking distance. A bus station that takes you to the train station just 1 min away. The staff is very nice. They have tasty snacks and coffee in every floor.

Staff members were great!!

Historic property well maintained. The only negative squeaky parquet floors

Lovely hotel beautiful location. Only caveat is steep stairs at entry

Very nice

We had the premium room on the roof with a huge bathroom and bathtub. Room was always the right temperature with a big covered balcony. No minibar/fridge but had a coffee machine and hot water maker in the room Parking was a bit difficult but the staff went above and beyond to figure it out for us. Very close to all of downtown Basel. Small, very basic breakfast for 20cfh per person is not worth it but all in all very nice quiet hotel on the water. Once again, amazing staff.

Great location, great service.

Beautiful

Great smaller hotel right on the Rhine River in Basel with perfectly located within a short walk to the old town and many attractions. During our stay the annual Christmas market was just outside which was quite fun but did make accessing the hotel require a block or two walk with our luggage. We enjoyed a penthouse suite which didn't have much of a view but was spacious, clean and very quiet for a restful night's sleep. We'd certainly consider a return visit.

Nice old world property, in great location with great views over the river. Coffee, water and snacks available on each floor for guests included in price. Staff very friendly and helpful.

The room was not clean at all. Dust in many places, a lot of hair in the bathroom. There is no fridge, kettle, coffee maker in the room. Instead, they were very proud of their shared facilities and explained how you could sit and read and have a cosy time. However, the "space" is at the stairwell, and our floor had one chair to sit on. There were not enough clean cups and tea spoons, most of the tea canisters were empty. The fridge was crowded by another guest's champagne bottle and take-away box (the fridge was very small and shared by the whole floor). A few days before our stay the hotel sent an email to let us know that there would be a street party on the weekend of our stay. 1) the email was in german only, so I could only halfway understand it and 2) if I had known sooner than a couple of days before then I would have rebooked to another hotel. As such, there was nothing we could do and the extremely overexcited woman in reception simply offered us some earplugs and advice us that staying in the city is expected to be noisy. And it was :( The most important advice for breakfast is: Get there early. The first day it took almost 30 min to get a small cup of coffee and the food was not all restocked. Furthermore, it looked rather "worn" since it was a buffet and had had many "hands on it" before us. The next morning we had to get up early for a flight and the breakfast was actually a pleasant experience.

The staff was so helpful and friendly. We had an amazing view of the river! There were a couple of things that were an issue: the bathroom was so tiny- you couldn’t do anything at the sink without getting water all over the floor. The toilet was so close to the shower that I kept hitting my leg and knee on it while trying to clean off. I finally learned my lesson and stood sideways and cleaned off. The pillows were so flat that I found folding it up helped the first night. Then, I requested a second pillow which helped a bit. The bed was comfortable, though. The room was a bit too sparse. Overall, a pleasant staff, a decent breakfast (great cup of coffee), and great view of the river but next time in Basel I will probably opt for a different hotel.

Easy to reach using bus and tram

Everything was great about this hotel. Location, staff and room. The hotel is a historical landmark in the city and I highly recommend. We only stayed one night to catch our river cruise the next day, however we wished we had stayed a couple more. Next time!!

Very nice hotel in a convenient location. Rooms were all updated, while common areas had a nice historical feel. The only negative on a hot day was no air conditioning. Staff was very helpful and pleasant.

This was a cute little hotel right along the River in Basel. The staff were very friendly upon check in and even let us check in super early, like noon! We could walk to many cool spots from here and really enjoyed the local nightlife along the river. Our room was large, it felt like an apartment! We liked the towels in the waterproof dry bag if we had wanted to float the river. Close to lots of restaurants and shopping.

The staff was amazing!! Being able to walk out the door and swim in the Rhine was an experience we will never forget.

Great location with friendly staff and comfortable room.

I asked for a room overlooking the River and was able to enjoy not only what I could see, but also hear because the water was very high and moving fast so the current made a continuous rushing sound. It was a beautiful sensation. The staff were so helpful in explaining the transit system and how to reach all the important sites. Their language skills were exceptional.

Great location! Basel is a wonderful town! We were disappointed to find our room at the back of the property was a laneway, with a number of bistros that were open late, even on week nights!

Loved the Basel Krafft Hotel!! Lovely accommodations- both room and common areas, great breakfast and super- friendly staff. Perfect location for sightseeing or just relaxing!! Will definitely stay again if ever fortunate enough to be back in Basel!!!

The staff went above and beyond to make sure I was welcome and comfortable. There were so many thoughtful inclusions, like a water jug in the room and filtered water tap on every floor. The room was comfortable and had great views of the river.

Charming, quirky and historic, near the middle bridge and great shopping.

Stayed there before but this time was not happy with the room.

Room very small for asking price, no still water provided.

Great location, very hospitable staff and delicious breakfast buffet included with room.

Nicest team ever. They went out of their way to help in many ways.

Personal service. Great food in the restaurant. Easy to get to from the train station, take tram Rheingasse 8. You have a great view of the Rhine river. Excellent restaurants are near hotel.

Location

Unique admosphere

Great location and views. Big room. But fir one night over 400 dollars and no air conditioning I get that not every older building will have it but it was not comfortable. Also Very loud live band playing outside on a weekday with travelers needing to sleep. If I’d known I would not have stayed here.
