Hotel Wettstein

We occupied a family room for three persons It was spacious and nice, with the third bed (wall collapsible bed) in a side of the main area. Mini fridge available in the room, with free sodas and water. Deco was simple, but good taste. Beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was of a good size. The room was very quiet because it is in a separate wing of the hotel, so we had to walk through a small lovely courtyard to reach it. Breakfast was offered as two options: simple breakfast for 9 Euros, and buffet for 25 Euros. If you are for a small breakfast, it is a good deal, with good quality bread, coffee, cheese and confiture. Make sure to reserve the parking space in advance, as there are not many places available, but once the car ir parked inside, there isn to need to take it out during the visit, the hotel is easily reached by public transportation.

The staff at the Wettstein Hotel is the best that happened to me in Switzerland. Not only they're extra supportive but the kitchen staff is fun and helpful, understanding towards chocolate monsters and super caring. The breakfast was amazing (except for crumbled eggs). They even get melted Swiss chocolate instead of Nutella. The garden is pleasant and the pace is just right for rest. It was rather quiet all over the hotel. I got a room with a bathtub (my thing), and a comfy bed with a little bigger duvet than usual hotel duvets. and the location was good - right by the tram/bus stops and a walk away from the main station. The minibar was free and refilled every day, the cleaning lady was kind and even spoke my mother tongue. There were always amazing free coffee and tea and some cold drinks available by the reception. I had my best decaf coffee ever there at midnight! You'll also get a city pass with free public transportation around Basel and a 50% museum discount. What's worth mentioning, the pillows were comfy too, not too thick like in other hotels, and you had an option of changing the type of pillow. The pillows for guests with allergies are there by default. And the light in the bathroom was pleasant, not acute like in in other hotels.

When my 3y.o son got sick and we needed medicine, the staff was extremely helpful. They gave us directions to the nearest place and we're extremely kind. I can't emphasize enough how kind and family friendly the hotel and staff were. There is a kids playroom off the main lobby that was perfect for a rainy day. There is nothing I didn't like about this stay.

The staff was very helpful. The rooms and facility are very clean, the same we have experienced in the past. This was our first time using on site parking and it was very convenient. It was a great perk that we were given passes to use local public transportation for free.

Lovely location very close to old Basel. Our accommodation was in a separate block and one room was up stairs without a lift which wasn’t an issue for us but could be for others. Bird song in the courtyard garden was very peaceful and there was even a resident hedgehog as we sat out with the beer from our minibar late in the evening! The breakfast was fantastic and I’m glad we took the parking as we arrived late.
