This hotel is so convenient for a trip from UK to Italy. We often stay there and it has always been an excellent stay.

The staff was excellent. The bar was top notch. Great breakfast. The beds are very comfortable. Nice place walk your dog. I would not recommend the Mexican restaurant. Just get wings or ribs from their menu.

Having discovered this hotel quite a few years ago I always try to book it if it’s available as it is quite superb.Great location and easy to find.Large free car park and always friendly reception staff,this time it was the charming Katerina who had a genuine persona and couldn’t have been more helpful.Very large room plus with added bonus of a bathtub.A nice welcome touch is the glass bottle of complimentary sparkling water.Saving the best comment for last, breakfast (most important meal of the day)You are spoilt for choice with the huge selection of hot and cold items.It is very rare in mainland Europe to get a good selection of hot cooked items for breakfast but perfectly prepared scrambled eggs,two types of sausages and bacon!! As a Englishman the only thing lacking was baked beans.The final nice touch is you are able to grab a takeaway coffee as you depart.Thank you to the owners, management and of course all the wonderful staff.

Great hotel to visit Basel

Old hotel, no fresh things on the breakfast

The same as ever, a great overnight stay on our way to Italy. We will be back on our return in October.

Despite our average rating scores we enjoyed our stay. Room and furnishings old and tired but everything worked as it should. Big windows with great view. Some problems with housekeeping which was very limited and we had to ask. Very good breakfast and the evening restaurant meals were also enjoyable and not too expensive. We enjoyed being able to hire Brompton bikes. 5 minute walk to Aldi and nearest bus stop. 15 minute walk over into France. Plenty of parking and the location is probably more suited to those arriving by car. Some good outside space.

Hotel is dated, but clean. Convenient location just of motorway, for a quick night stop when on the road and breakfast was good. Very friendly service and our big dog was welcome, thank you.

No phone in the room. Had trouble with the elevator.

We enjoyed our stay at the Carathotel, which was ideally located for access into Basel by tram, and well priced. The breakfast was excellent, a really good selection including gluten free bread and muffins. The hotel's mexican-style restaurant in the evening was also very good, again with gluten free options marked and very well priced. The hotel itself is a little tired given its age, but very well maintained and clean, and the bathroom particularly was well equipped, with great lighting and a bath. The hotel is actually in Germany, not Switzerland, which means that guests are not entitled to a Basel Tourist pass, however, the much lower price of the hotel rooms more than compensates for this. It is about at 10 minute walk to the tram station from the hotel and then only a 10 minute ride to Basel AltStadt. The hotel information stated that there was a shuttle to the airport, which is not the case, they simply book a taxi. We were told the cost would be no more than 35 euros, but it actually cost 45.

Working in Basel so booked into a superior room on 9th floor. Very spacious with a table of 4 chairs so easy to work and have dinner. Fan included so no air conditioning unit but comfortable. Nice large windows so lots of breeze. Shower is high pressure so amazing to use and overall very comfortable. Breakfast was continental and lots of options to choose from. Will defo book again! Uber is difficult to call BUT taxi is available on demand at reception.
