Small and friendly hotel approximately 20mins walk from the charming old city centre. Also on tram route. Clean and functional room with safe and coffee maker. Buffet breakfast had plenty of choice. As a base for a 3 day stay it was ideal.

My review would have been much better had I not been charge way more than the price I booked it at through Expedia. The price when we booked was about $220 Canadian dollars. We chose to pay when we arrived. However when we got there we were charged over $600! I can understand that it was because EuroVision was taking place. Maybe it’s Expedia’s fault and I shouldnt be making this the hotels fault. In any event. The room was clean. It’s in a good location.

Reception staff came quickly and was friendly and helpful. Tight car parking, but very close. Nice restaurant attached with live music and chef who showed us proper way to eat some Ukranian dishes. Greet street car access to various sites. Our std double room had a small, but very workable bathroom. Our window opened into a building filled court yard.

I often choose this hotel when travelling to Basel, not far from the congress center and practical. Rooms are clean.

Very comfortable and clean double room! Our stay in Alexander Hotel was nice, breakfast was good and there were sweet and salty delicious meals. The position is strategic and perfectly linked to the city centre (500 meters on foot) with bus and tram stop in front of the hotel! The structure is located near a very quiet road: our 3 nights were pleasant! I recommend it for your stay in Basel! See you next time, thankss!

The elevator was not large, but they can help you with the luggage. The front desk is very helpful in directions and they provide Basel card for the duration of the trip- which is a pleasant surprise (allowing you all the public transportation for free in the city)

The hotel is conveniently located near Messenplatz tram station and the convention center. The rooms smaller that typical US hotels but are clean has everything needed for a comfortable stay. Staff was very helpful and cheerful.

They gave me a room for 4 people when I am alone and charged CDN353 per night. No bath soap, no shampoo, only hand soap, small towels, unhelpful reception staff. Bare floors through out.

The commode, bathroom door and shower were broken... when I pointed it out they said they would give me extra towels to clean up the pool of water on floor from the broken commode and shower.
