We were warmly welcomed and provided with excellent information about the hotel, dining options and a Basel Travel card to use on all public transport. Reception staff were excellent. Public transport stops are located close by the hotel as is old town, which is an easy walk. Hotel rooms were a great size with very good amenities. The restaurant on site provides an excellent breakfast at a reasonable price. I highly recommend this Hotel.

My wife and I stayed at this hotel early December as part of a break to visit the Christmas Markets - exemplary customer service at all times, thoughtful and supportive staff, lovely/well equipped room, very clean and comfortable. Lovely location with only a short walk to the centre (trams and buses stop outside the hotel if you do not wish to walk the short distance). After many years of business travel and many stays around the world, the service at this hotel was nothing less than exceptional. Our thanks to the dedicated staff and their exemplary customer focus and making our stay an absolute pleasure.

This may have been my best hotel stay to date. Traveling from the US to visit the Basel Christmas markets and Hotel Spalentor was centrally located, easy to find, staff was lovely and incredibly helpful, room was beyond expectations, complimentary breakfast had a wide offering and was nicely done - it was a wonderful stay!

The staff here are so polite and nice and the room we had was lovely. The hotel is conveniently located just outside the old town, and one can walk to the cathedral in under 15 minutes. One perk that we didn't get to utilize was the free tram/bus tickets that are included with the hotel price. If you plan on exploring Basel, this is a great feature. Overall we loved the hotel; we really had no complaints and would easily stay there again in the future.
