ibis Styles Basel City

We rode our bikes to Basel to watch the Women's Euro. We were able to store our bikes in the luggage room while we enjoyed the marches and the city. The hotel was ready with directions and information for all of the Euro fans. Our room was very spacious. The AC worked well but we would have liked to be able to open a window to get some fresh air and get a feel for the temperature outside. The breakfast buffet was well stocked. There were lots of options. As a person with celiac, I really appreciated that the gluten-free bread and crackers were no where near the regular bread. I was able to enjoy the bread without being concerned about cross-contamination. The hotel provides guests with a Basel card which allows one to use the public transportation for free and gives half-price discounts to many of the museums.

I'd had a few poor stays during my time in Switzerland, so this was a much needed breath of fresh Swiss air! 10 minute walk from the station, so that was reasonable. From the off, on entry, I loved how the hotel had embraced the Women's Euros (which is what I was out there for) and this made the hotel feel like it was part of the festivities. Great touch. The staff were amazing throughout, customer service exquisite and they were multilingual. Perfect English, German & French from what I heard throughout my stay. The lounge area was perfect to relax in, catch up on some work. And they even had a bar, where I could order a pizza, perfect after a long day without going out, but there was a restaurant round the corner which they had gave me a discount for too, if I did fancy venturing out. The room. Perfect. 10/10. Clean, modern, air con, big comfy bed, large bathroom with modern power shower. Everything you expect but rarely get from a lot of hotels. It felt very safe and secure with the card system. Easy lift access.

I had a fantastic stay at Ibis Styles Hotel! First and foremost, the staff were absolutely wonderful—everyone from the receptionists to the breakfast team, and the cleaners were genuinely friendly and helpful, making the stay even more enjoyable. The location is also excellent. It’s within walking distance of the train station (SBB) and just a 20-minute walk to St. Jacobshalle event venue.. For anyone planning to visit for an event at St. Jacob's and who doesn’t mind walking 20-30 mins this hotel is a great choice. I was anxious about the walk when booking however the walk was just a straight road. Very safe walking and easy to cross roads with lots of zebra crossings. While there aren’t many restaurants in the immediate area, there is a fantastic Thai restaurant just opposite to the right of the hotel. The hotel itself doesn’t serve food beyond breakfast, but the breakfast provided was excellent for a 3-star hotel, with plenty of options including gluten free (gluten free bread 👌). The 24-hour coffee machine offering tea and various coffee choices, which was a great touch. Don't be put off by other reviews where people state about the nearby railway track. The railway track has no interference with this hotel. Overall, Ibis Styles is located in a good location perfect for accessing St Jacobshalle and Basel city. Highly recommended!

Breakfast was good. Even though there were a lot of people, the food was always replenished. The room was clean, and the free coffee/tea corner was excellent.

Breakfast was excellent, many options to choose from and all of them were very good. The room was sparkling clean, nothing at all worth mentioning and the shower was brilliant.
