The room size was alright, but the soundproofing was terrible; I could hear noise both at night and in the morning. The main issue is that the front desk charged a 100 franc deposit, and it still hasn't been refunded after more than ten days. There's no one to complain to, they just keep saying to wait, claiming it takes 14 business days for a refund!

Location: Close to the station
Service: Good. The lady who came to make up the third bed had a great attitude. The room arrangement was excellent, really deserves praise. Chain hotels are always reliable.

Great room and comfortable beds. Walking distance took us 12 minutes walk from Basel SBB train station. Nevertheless it is easily located the hotel. Novotel hotel has a good breakfast with variety choices.

Found some hairs on the bed, location is good, not far away from the train station, and near the bus/tramway station.

The whole journey was amazing. Switzerland is the cleanest country I’ve been to and this hotel fulfills my expectations. There weren’t toothpaste in the room so I left a note asking for it and the staff left a post it note with dental amenities in our bathroom after we left. Cutest thing I’ve experienced, would highly recommend this room too!

The room was very large by European standards, and I had a very comfortable stay. It's perfect for traveling. The receptionist helped me with early check-in. It was excellent value for money, highly recommended.

This hotel in Basel exceeded my expectations; there are many tram stops nearby. The receptionists were very welcoming and chatty. The facilities are modern, with air conditioning, and the breakfast was excellent. It's over a 15-minute walk to the tram stop, so taking a taxi in the evening is probably the best option. I felt the rooms facing the street were better than those in the inner courtyard.

It's a 15-minute walk from the train station to the hotel, but there's a bus stop right outside the hotel that connects to various attractions, including the train station. It has a Standard Novotel layout, and I would choose it again if I visited Basel again. The breakfast selection is quite extensive.
