A short walk from the tram stop. Grocery nearby. Clean room.
A bit far from the city center and Christmas market locations. No water kettle in the room.

Quite expensive, but that's Basel/Switzerland!
8.0 / 10.0
A truly gracious hotel run by wonderful staff. Perfect location, easy to reach from the station, and to walk around. There is also a supermarket just few minutes walk.
I would have appreciate some instant coffee in the room, even though the breakfast serve in the hall is well filled and delicious.

the location and the overall layout. The room was clean.
An experience to avoid. The owner shows a surprising lack of professionalism and respect. His communication was unprofessional and lacked basic courtesy. There was no sense of customer care or hospitality — just rigid rules and a cold attitude.
While I understand that policies must be respected, the way they are applied makes all the difference. Unfortunately, there was no effort to communicate with respect or understanding, which is essential in this industry.
No listening, no flexibility, no effort to find a solution — just condescension and rigidity. He just wanted to keep my money.

On a walking distance from Basel SBB, approximately 10-15 minutes away. Excellent location, in a quiet area but close to many restaurants and bars, and city attractions. The room was exceptionally clean.
There is no A/C in the room, which is not uncommon for Europe, so I would not choose to stay here during summer. The rooms are small so it may be hot.

Good location. Clean, modern and tidy. Good breakfast.
In common with many hotels in Switzerland, there was no kettle or tea/coffee facility in the room.

Fab location - close to zoo and inter-regional train station.
Spotlessly clean and good value for Basel.
No fan in room (which details said there would be) or any air conditioning which we knew there wouldn't be so that was ok.

Location. It was quiet. The breakfast had great variety but too expensive, even for Switzerland.
The bed only had a fitted sheet and a duvet. The fact the bed lacked a regular sheet was disappointing. The bathroom was tiny!
9.0 / 10.0
Stayed for ESC and overall was impressed. Perfect location, very quiet, extremely clean and comfortable, good value for money, kettle and cup on request, reception generally helpful. Overall would definitely recommend for a stay in Basel.
Luggage storage arrangements not particularly secure. No safe in room or other safe storage facility for passports and valuables. Both of these could really be improved.

Breakfast was good. Scrambled eggs would have been nice.
A fridge in the room would be useful. And a drinks distributor.

Quiet but convenient location close to the old town and SBB station
Fully staffed hotel including check in / out
Staff friendly and helpful - left our luggage at Reception on check out day
Room immaculate and modern ( super convenient charger sockets )
Breakfast good
The free Basel card - gives reductions on museums etc
The bathroom was a tight squeeze with lots of wasteful individual plastic bottles of toiletries
No kettle in the room
Tiny lift !
The price, not as expensive as Zürich but nonetheless Basel isn't a bargain

It was nice staying for a week at a friendly, independent hotel which had all the facilities you might expect from a chain hotel. Hotel Birsighof is really conveniently located for the city centre and the railway station in a nice neighbourhood (although they all seemed nice in Basel). The staff were very attentive to all our needs and we enjoyed having the buffet breakfasts. There is a nice courtyard garden at the back for relaxing.
The room was a little small but that's normal in city centre hotels.

good location, people were fantastic
no Aircon so uncomfortably hot. also very expensive at that time due to Art Basel, as were all the hotels at that time, bad timing on my part.
8.0 / 10.0
good location from restaurants, bars and about 15 minutes’ walk from Basel main train station. very clean room, number 35, suitable for solo traveller. I hear the breakfast here is good but I didn’t have it as I had to leave early.
The bathroom was tiny, you can’t really shut the door when you are in it, but the shower had plenty of pressure.

The bed is very comfortable to sleep in and the staff is super friendly :) Thanks for the suggestion for Fasnacht!
The water pressure is a bit small for me to wash my hair.
