    great location
    missing amenities

    The hotel is perfectly positioned for enjoying the riverside music festival, with performances right outside each night.

    There was no kettle in the room, which made it inconvenient for tea and coffee lovers.

    fine view

    Recommend it for families

    The view from my room overlooking the Rhine was fine , especially at sunset , it was like a scene from a movie. The breakfast had plenty to eat like a variety of breads and pastries which really fueled my day exploring.

    It wasn’t cheap but still acceptable.

    clean rooms
    riverside bar
    free tram rides
    temperature control issue

    We enjoyed our stay with four kids, very clean rooms, and an excellent riverside bar. The Basel Card granted us free tram rides, making it super easy to explore the city’s attractions like that amazing art museum everyone talks about.

    My wife says that the shower water was a bit tricky to adjust. It would be great if they had family-oriented activities available.

    clean room
    great breakfast
    hot room

    The room at East West Hotel offered a stunning view of the river, which was a highlight of my stay. I loved the spaciousness and the cleanliness of the room. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the downtown area and next to a tram station, making it easy to explore. The breakfast provided a good variety, including great coffee, which started my day on a positive note. However, the lack of air conditioning made sleeping uncomfortable during hot nights. Even with a fan, it didn’t cool the room adequately. Also, I missed having a kettle for tea or coffee in the room.

    spacious room
    excellent coffee
    bathroom lighting issue
    staffing limitations
    missing kettle

    The room was spacious with a nice view, and the soundproofing ensured a relaxing stay. The shower offered great water pressure and instant hot water, enhancing comfort. Breakfast had a good variety, including excellent coffee and options for vegan diets. However, the bathroom lighting had issues, and the lack of staff at night made some logistics difficult.

    cozy room
    gorgeous view

    The East West Hotel has a lovely riverside bar with fantastic views of the Rhine and all the hustle and bustle of the city. The room was cozy and clean, complete with huge windows offering a gorgeous view, although it did get a bit warm during the hot summer nights. The complimentary breakfast had a nice selection, including delicious pastries that fueled my adventures in Basel.

    minimalist decor
    cooling options

    The hotel's prime location besides the Rhine offers stunning river views and convenient access to public transport, making it easy to explore the city. The minimalist decor provides a tidy ambiance, but the room could use additional seating and cooling options. Overall, it’s a great spot for a quick visit.

    Fantastic views and great accessibility

    I had a lovely stay with beautiful views of the Rhine from my room, which really added to the experience. The breakfast was good, providing plenty of choices to start the day. The hotel's central location made all attractions easily walkable, and with a tram station right next door, it was super convenient for getting around the city. However, having no coffee-making facilities in the room was a bit of a letdown, especially after a long day of exploring.
