A friend and I stayed four nights in Basel preliminary to a Christmas Markets on the Rhine cruise with Grand Circle. Rochat has a great location, convenient to transport, restaurants, and the old downtown core. There are a couple of flights of stairs between the tram and the hotel.

We booked two nights at the Rochat at the end of a Viking River cruise from Amsterdam concluding in Basel. We arrived at the hotel substantially earlier than planned and were met with a cheerful reception from the young guy working on reception.

I cancelled the hotel 48 hours prior to our arrival and yet they still took the full £96.00GBP and then refused communications, now ignoring all my emails despite me explaining the circumstances.

Dear Hotel Rochat Manager, I would like to express how unhappy I was with the organization of your hotel. I am a travel writer and regularly stay at hotels as part of my job. Since my very first to very last contact with your hotel it has been an example of horrible disorganization. When my new travel website is complete... More

We spent only one night in Rochat. the room was big and clean. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The location is not perfect but quite good ( near market square). Wi fi speed was very good, 450 megabytes in 10 minutes). bathroom was also big, that is rarity. Overall very good. Definitely will recommend to friends. More
