Airport Hotel Basel

The Airport Hotel in Basel is by far one of the best Airport hotels. We do need to take in consideration that everything in Switzerland is just little bit more luxurious than in other places in the world but nevertheless, I always really enjoy my time here, and I’ll tell you why:
1. For one, it has easy access to the city and to the airport. Busses drive frequently and you get a free ticket at the hotel lobby.
2. The rooms are spacious and nicely decorated. The beds are huge and have two seperate covers for lovers who never seem to agree who gets the blanke at night.
3. Behind the bed, you can choose the color of the lights. Feeling cheeky? Red it is!
4. The shower has the most water pressure I’ve ever had in my entire life.
5. The views. The views. The views. If you’re lucky you get the ‘good side’ of the hotel and you get to wake up to the most amazing view. This makes me feel like the luckiest woman alive when waking up.
5. Feeling lucky with the views? You get a 5 CHF ticket to spend in the casino downstears. O yes, I said CASINO. You’ll never get bored here because it is open ’till 5am. And next door there’s a little dance club as well.
6. Breakfast is served with the most amazing latte machiato and you’ll never leave this buffet without being stuffed. Different sorts of cheese, english beakfast all the way, swiss butter, hazelnutt pasta (from switzerland where else?), nougat pasta, fresh orange juice, and much much more.
(O, did I mention that Basel has one of the most amazing Christmass markets in Europe with awesome bratwursts?)

Ein angenehmes, ruhiges Hotel und ein kleines Trostpflaster, wenn man so wie ich den letzten Flug des Tages verpaßt hat. Es gibt sogar ein Kasino und man bekommt beim Check-​In diverse Gutscheine (auch für das Kasino). Die Zimmer sind angenehm groß und komfortabel.

I stayed here on a recent business trip and was pleasantly surprised to find a hotel that was more than the average «airport hotel». It is attached to a casino and is very lively. Sort of like a Swiss version of a W hotel. The lobby was more or less one big bar /​lounge that got very busy after about 6pm. The rooms were spacious, modern and well appointed.
The hotel has a restaurant as well, where we ate dinner and breakfast. The food was very good. The service was very good as well. The staff were very friendly in all areas of the hotel.
The only downside of this hotel is for people that want to be in the city center. This hotel is on the outskirts of town, so you would need to take a bus or taxi to get to more restaurants, bars and cultural attractions.

Very friendly staff. I stay here often. The hotel has more vibe than the Basel average hotel. A little out if the way but a good bus connection.

This hotel is nice for an airport located hotel. It’s a little far from Basel center, but not too far on the bus. A plus, the hotel provides a bus pass for your stay so you can get around without incurring extra cost.
My hotel room was large, spacious, and clean. The design was very trendy in terms of aesthetics.
There is a casino attached to the hotel and I went in to take a look. I’m not much of a gambler and I personally don’t like going to Las Vegas. This casino was really just a big room with slot machines and a bar. It’s nothing special and if you’ve been to Vegas, you can definitely skip it.
There’s free shuttle to the airport. It only takes 5 mins to get there.
Overall, I can see myself staying there again. Basel isn’t the most interesting of places in Switzerland but it is the hub of value airline EasyJet.
