Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Not a great experience. Very basic room, very limited breakfast, loud construction right in front of hotel. Would not return
Good hotel particularly for a family group, room had 2 separate adjoining bedrooms.
It was a bit dated but fine for our stay. Lift is very small only room for 2 people with cases.
Clean comfortable rooms, friendly staff, tram stop out the front of Hotel Alexander. We would recommend!

Know what you are NOT paying for.
No air conditioning! One little fan, not nearly enough for hot humid nights! European so no wash cloths and maid service once a week! Also I am allergic to down and the only pillows they had were down. Sick the next morning, put the pillows in the closet opened all the windows and put the little fan on but they came in turned it off and closed the windows! My fault for not realizing there was no AC but only having down pillows was pretty un believable and unpleasant. Had to roll up an extra blanket to use as a pillow….
Make sure you include breakfast in your reservation. It’s the best deal in Basel. Great location near many transit lines but walked from SSB in 35 minutes before got Basel pass. Comfortable room with opening windows. Cons were shower door opens into bathroom so can’t step onto mat and keep floor dry. Also, on Saturday night, loud music came from outside until 2 am.
Comfortable hotel with all you would need in a decent location - 20 minutes walk to the centre. Comes with Basel card allowing free transport round the city.

Great value for the money and the location was very convenient. The young gentleman at the reception was incredible with his service and tips.
Basic but clean hotel and our room was very spacious. Bathrooms could use some updating, but all in all, we were very satisfied with our stay and would come again.
Excellent hotel. Staff are very friendly. The Basel Card which gives free tram travel and reduced prices in Basel's museums/theatre was appreciated. Only short tram ride into main centre of Basel. Close to exhibition/conference centre.
The hotel is located approximately 15 mins walk from the old town. However, it is conveniently located close to tram stops for the town centre. If you download the SBB app then it is easy to plan journey via tram/bus (including trip to the airport).
If you travel from Europe/UK be aware that Switzerland requires different travel adaptors.
The hotel is conveniently located near Messenplatz tram station and the convention center. The rooms smaller that typical US hotels but are clean has everything needed for a comfortable stay. Staff was very helpful and cheerful.
Very clean, safe and quiet hotel. Has everything you need. Fresh espresso pods everyday to go woth thr espresso maker. Fresh bottles of still spring water. A fridge and TV. In a good location. Less than 30 mins walk from Basel SBB and less than 10 to the city centre. Staff were also very friendly and helpful.
The room was cosy and comfortable and had everythinf you need as a solo traveller.
