Great hotel in Basel, perfect location close to transport links and some beautiful walks around the city. We stayed a few nights and we were really impressed. Reception staff were friendly and couldn’t have been more helpful, especially Joao!
Clean, comfortable beds and good value breakfast!
Stayed here over the weekend while visiting someone. The hotel is very nice and the staff were all very friendly and helpful - couldn't ask for better. The breakfast was an extra charge and was very nice - I'd recommend it. Our room was 119 and looked out onto the side street opposite a church. It was very quiet except that at 6pm the church bells would sound for 10 minutes - which was a surprise to start with, so just be prepared for this. We found the hotel ideally situated for exploring the city. Also, there is free self service coffee available until 9pm.

Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau lors de votre prochaine visite dans la région.

This was a great hotel, a little bit off the beaten path. Ideally located a short walk from trams (which get you almost anywhere) and convenient walking distance (10-20 min) to many tourist areas. Room was clean and there was daily maid service. Not quite as many business services as a Marriott or the Radisson, but the prices are more reasonable and it has a nice local feel.

This hotel was a real haven for me for 2.5 days and 2 nights. I'd arrived early before a scheduled Viking River cruise so that I could acclimate to time changes and an overnight flight that involved a hellish transfer in London's Heathrow Airport. The young man on duty when I arrived spoke excellent English, checked me in quickly since I'd made a reservation months beforehand, and gave me directions to my room. There was a small elevator that took me to the 2nd floor, and when I used the key to open the door to my room, I was stunned. The room was a large double with 2 separate beds, a comfortable sofa, 2 smaller chairs, a table and a desk. The bathroom was spacious with even a heated towel rack. I was delighted with the cleanliness as well as the view out the front windows which were double-glazed, so I heard no road noise at all. I opted for 2 full breakfasts for the mornings I was there and was pleased with the large selections at the buffet. All the personnel were friendly, helpful, and kind. I needed help in contacting Viking due to changes in the embarkation process due to high water levels, and Joao, the afternoon/evening desk clerk helped me by using the hotel telephone to contact the Viking guest services help - as well as calling a taxi for me the next morning.
The hotel is located above the old town which is just a 10-15 minute walk downhill, so I couldn't have asked for a better location. There are also nearby restaurants just down the street. If I were to return to Basel, I would definitely choose the Hotel Rochat again - and definitely feel lucky that I found it in the first place.

We understand the importance of assistance, especially during unexpected changes in travel plans, and we're glad Joao was able to help you contact Viking and arrange for a taxi.
Thank you for choosing Hotel Rochat, and we look forward to welcoming you back whenever you're in Basel again.
Warm regards,
Team Hotel Rochat
Our room was large and spacious and very clean. We had a good sleep, very sound proof and quiet. The breakfast cost extra, but was excellent with lots of choices. Location was good, very walkable to shopping, restaurants, the river and tourist sites. No parking, but there is a public garage where we were able to park our rental car for a fee. The parking system was different than the US and was a bit confusing. You have to find a pay machine in the garage (not easy) and pay there and then take that ticket to exit the lot.
