Good value for money

Customer review rating 4.0/5

Yenni Families - 08/01/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

Modern interior, nice spacious room, but not spotless clean (dust over toilet paper holder, hair in the corners) Houseekeepers didn‘t wear masks and were chatting&laughing really loudly while cleaning. TV was not working properly. Breakfast choice was nice, the waiter there also. the new girl was very lost and not well trained, started clearing the table across guests faces.. too close. So all in all it was a good hotel, but not wow.

Simply Great

Best Novotel in Switzerland! The location is prefect. This is a great hotel option for families. The hotel staff treatment was excellent and the city ticket was of great value to us as a family. The breakfast was a fair price and the best start of our day in Basel. The room did not have any spoons or forks which was not very convenient.

Best Hotel in Basel

Good stay but no Austria TC channels!

Customer review rating 3.0/5

Daniel K. Business - 26/11/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

My stay was good, the only thing that really disappointed me it that there were not Austrian TV channels! This should not be the case in Switzerland and even more in the german speaking part. I leave in Geneva and on cable TV all different providers are proposing at least two Austrian TV channels. This is also the case in most hotels, like Mariott's hotels etc... Is it because Accor is a french hotel chain? Anyway I'm sure not to be the only one asking or at least wanting having also Austrian channels on TV.

Quiet, nice hotel in a great location

We had a very quiet stay. The staff was very helpful and polite even when our kids were loud. Breakfast was very good, great selection of veggies/cereals/pastry.

Reception Staff and Facility are great, house keeping needs improvement

Customer review rating 4.0/5

P. Business - 21/11/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Friendly and competent Staff The welcome of the reception staff was outstanding, as well the support throughout all the duration. A big shoutout to Lin for constantly offering help, suggestions and recommendations. She was always willing to go the extra mile for any request, even when there were no requests, making this one my best stay at an Accor Hotel! Some minor hiccups with housekeeping. I stayed for two weeks, and housekeeping never dusted the room. I also guess they never vacuumed the room. When I was packing, I saw a couple of oatmeal I dropped next to the desk on the first day I arrived. I only realized that on the last day. Also, on the last day, there was no more shower gel, which means that in 2 weeks, no one thought of replenishing it. On Saturday morning, while I was getting dressed, the housekeeping lady came into the room, opened the door, and knocked only after she was basically in the room. I took some pictures for reference. Gym a bench and some free weights (dumbells) would improve the experience!

Ok for short business trip

Anonymous Business - 14/11/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Positive: - Nice staff - Clean room - Located close to train station - Fresh fruit salad for breakfast Negative: - Loud as it's located at a busy road and the ambulance passed by several times as well - For the cost of the breakfast I would have expected a decent coffee (with "real milk", not just milk powder) and fruit juice(s) - Only soap available on the room, no body lotion etc.

I like the Hotel and it was a nice stay as always. What I'm missing a little bit is the possibility to charge my mobile devices directly via USB. The room have "only" plug sockets.

Nice hotel, nice stay

marcgJ3313TT 27/09/2021 TripAdvisor review

We had a nice, relaxed stay. Service was quite allright, rooms and amenities absolutely satisfactory. Breakfast buffet was spotless. There is only one way to pull over at the hotel, so beware if you come from the other side of the street.

Excellent hotel with great value for money

TripAdvisor rating 5.0/5

MarkoCvetkovic Family - 16/08/2021 TripAdvisor review

We stayed in this hotel for the second time and there were no surprises - it was as good as the first time. Very high level of service and professionalism, extremely clean and well organized. Also there is a fantastic buffet breakfast, which is a bit expensive, but the children get it for free, so it's fine in total. Hotel has an underground parking (26 CHF per night). It is a 10-min walk to the center, but if you prefer not to, the hotel conveniently offers free public transport tickets. This is an ideal overnight stop if you travel from the Netherlands of north of Germany to Italy, or back. But also an excellent option for visiting the city of Basel itself.

Nice stay

FamLIBXL Family - 08/01/2020 TripAdvisor review

Clean and comfortable (noise and bedding) room, very close to motorway, good breakfast (though we would have appreciated more on the sweet side). Secured parking is very convenient though a bit too expensive (26 CHF)

Dear FamLIBXL Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. Indeed, our parking is not free of charge. The price of CHF 26.00 is compared to the prices in the city normal. We hope to see you again very soon. Sincerely, Billal Al Kahlout Front Office Manager Novotel Basel City

A good return to this hotel, if a bit hot.

JoeFromUtrecht Family - 01/01/2020 TripAdvisor review

We’ve stayed in this hotel before and it didn’t disappoint! One quibble, we found the temperature in our room 228 was high and the adjustment to a lower temp did not seem to be effectice. The windows could not be opened either. So we slept in a room that was too hot for our taste. That said: service was friendly, breakfast great and the complimentary Basel Card is also very nice. We’ll return.

Dear JoeFromUtrecht Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We hope to welcome you back to our hotel very soon! Sincerely, Billal Al Kahlout Front Office Manager Novotel Basel City

This hotel is all about location, comfort, and good service!

annarL3834CN Couples - 30/12/2019 TripAdvisor review

We ended up in the room for handicapped people. Nonetheless, the room was still very spacious as was the washroom with the walk in shower. The double bed is a large double bed as well. Very basic room with basic comforts. Cleaning staff did an excellent job and was prompt. Very friendly reception staff and willing to assist and help with a smile. Breakfast buffet spread of hot and cold foods offered a wide variety of choices every morning. We ate dinner at the hotel on Xmas Eve: very tasty and lovely meal for the occasion. Hotel is a 15-17 min. Walk to the train station. Hotel offered city transportation pass for trams and busses to and from the city centre. This is a "plus" for tourists who wanted to visit the Xmas markets and do some shopping. Definitely recommend this hotel.

Dear AnnarL3834CN We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Novotel Basel City. It is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback. I will share your comments with our team. I am sure that this feedback will serve as an encouragement to all of our staff as we strive to continuously improve the quality of our services.
