Location is very good, close to the Rhein and in the middle of the old town and many trams and busses around the corner. We arrived late at night and the temperature was minus 15 degrees celcius, I found it hard to find the hotel with just my Google Maps print but luckily there was a sign near the tram... More

Nice room (208), quiet, spacious and very clean. Good size bathroom, but with just liquid soap/shampoo/shower-gel all in one as personal care items. Free in-room wi-fi at high speed. English breakfast-buffet not included in the price and kind of expensive (CHF 16 per person), but varied and excellent if you are for a consistent meal in the morning. Good coffee... More

A friend and I stayed four nights in Basel preliminary to a Christmas Markets on the Rhine cruise with Grand Circle. Rochat has a great location, convenient to transport, restaurants, and the old downtown core. There are a couple of flights of stairs between the tram and the hotel. The staff was uniformly and exceptionally professional and friendly. The room... More

We booked two nights at the Rochat at the end of a Viking River cruise from Amsterdam concluding in Basel. We arrived at the hotel substantially earlier than planned and were met with a cheerful reception from the young guy working on reception. We stored our bags, went for a stroll and returned to find that he had changed our... More

I booked this hotel and then while staying in Southern Switzerland prior to our due date in Basel my Mother became unwell. I cancelled the hotel 48 hours prior to our arrival and yet they still took the full £96.00GBP and then refused communications, now ignoring all my emails despite me explaining the circumstances. They were very very very unsympathetic... More

We stayed for 1 night and found the staff and location excellent but also found the overall price a bit steep compared to accommodation in Italy and France - mind you this is the first time we've stayed in Basel / Switzerland so perhaps it's the going rate. The location was ideal for us to walk around the city but... More

Very quiet and quaint area, small alleyways, VERY quiet at night (one can easily sleep... More

Dear Hotel Rochat Manager, I would like to express how unhappy I was with the organization of your hotel. I am a travel writer and regularly stay at hotels as part of my job. Since my very first to very last contact with your hotel it has been an example of horrible disorganization. When my new travel website is complete... More
