Very loud and the building was shaking throughout the night as the hotel is directly across from the German train station. unsure what bit me overnight (10 bites), but it wasn’t a mosquito. Front desk was staffed with very welcoming and helpful people! We appreciated the Basel card that provided free transportation and half off museums. Loved the city of Basel, but would not stay here again.

Not being able to easily leave suitcases at reception , because it’s more like serviced rooms than a hotel was difficult but being able to check in at 12 and access our room straight away was really good .

Room was a bit dated and it felt like I was the only guest! No front desk staff in the evening - had to get in outside via a machine which was a little unnerving. In the morning the front desk attendee was very polite and helpful

Awesome staff and place to stay
The young lady at the front desk was extremely helpful to us, and offered us directions to the city. It was so nice to have the transport pass even though we had Swiss Rail passes that we could have used, but hat was a very nice touch. The room was so nice and large and the bed was fantastic!!!!! It was quite and very well positioned in the city. Love this place!

Good, basic work stay in Basel
A clean, quiet place, good for a business stay. Slightly further from things than similarly priced places. Very few staff and reception closed outside work hours but all we’re very friendly. Automated check-in after hours

We loved the Royal!
We stayed at the Royal while waiting to board our cruise. So we stayed only one night. But the manager greeted us warmly, offered advice, made some restaurant recommendation and so forth before we even checked in. Then he followed up on a bogey taxi driver who overcharged us. The service was stellar. We loved the room. Modern, clean, elegant and efficient.

We loved that this hotel was across from the train station and just a 5 min trolley ride to the old part of Bern on the Rhine. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We also enjoyed a nice breakfast.

Classy, modern, convenient to the train station
As said by others, the rooms are the fourth floor of a large building. Rooms are modern and sleek. The bed was firm but we slept well and the pillows were nice. Having a separate sitting area with sofa was nice, just wish we had been able to stay longer. There were more power points than any place I have ever seen, only thing missing was any USB ports. The location has pros and cons. Close to the station and trams, and just off the expressway, but no real neighborhood places to eat. And train and tram noise was constant. Also you have to park at the train station lot (building) which can be confusing to get to. Definitely better to park first and walk rather than go to the hotel then try to find your way back. Staff were very nice and the continental breakfast was good, though lacking in fruit. Check when you arrive to see if your room rate includes it or not, especially when booking through a third party site, it is not always clear. If it is, it is a nice bonus.
