“Good central choice”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

My second visit to Basel and third stay at this Hilton.

My first review as the last visit was before I joined Trip Advisor.

Very convenient location can be seen from the main railway station, once you look the right way…..

The price is reasonable for Switzerland but our currency has lost a third of its value against the Swiss Franc since I was last there

We were warmly welcomed. I had a small single room with a queen sized bed. The room numbers are slightly confusing as perhaps there are 2 buildings. Unlike 99.9% of hotels your floor number may not tally with the first number of your room number.

Didn’t eat in the hotels and there is no formal bar although they can serve you drinks. The minibar is complimentary, mainly soft drinks although 2 bottle of beer I remember.

Receptions staff helped with wireless access issue and provided us with our free transit card.

“Fantastic family hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

Stayed here in November when visiting Basel during their Autumn festival, which if you haven't been is a great time, with good food, games and a great atmosphere. The hotel is very conviently located right across from the train station, which is still a pretty easy walk (10-15 mins.) from the downtown. The breakfast is fantastic, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful my wife and I really enjoyed it there. On top of all of this the minibar drinks and snacks in our room were FREE! I've traveled all over Europe and never experienced this before, which is great because Switzerland tends to be quite expensive. I would certainly stay here again if I return to Basel, great hotel!

“Elegant and Friendly”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 December 2011

The hotel is very closed to the central station and to tram connections. The rooms are confortable, quiet and well equipped. The staff is nice and helpful. The rich breakfast is served in a charming hall.

Room Tip: Every room is quiet.

“Friendly, boutique hotel in Basel Center”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011

We spent one night at the Hotel St. Gotthard in October, while on our way to a hiking trip in Alsace. This hotel is walking steps from the train station, yet so filled with charm and personality, you would almost think you are in the country.

The rooms are small but very nicely decorated. There are some very interesting public spaces with an art collection established during the owners' various travels. The desk staff are extremely helpful.

Finally, the elaborately decorated breakfast room must not be missed. There is an excellent buffet that covers every possible taste. I will definitely stay in this hotel when I return to Basel.

Room Tip: A lot of the formal restaurants in Basel are extremely over-priced. Shop around for smaller, ethnic...

“You really do leave as a friend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 November 2011

Beautiful, clean, bright, friendly small hotel right opposite the station, perfect for anyone travelling by train. My room was on the street side but was quiet nevertheless. Sadly I had to leave early in the morning, but an excellent breakfast (included in the rate) was brought to the room at no extra cost, dead on time. The room was very well equipped and I'd have been delighted with the free wifi had I needed it on that occasion. I was given a free pass for public transport in the city (the trams are well worth a try). The hotel's invitation "Come as a guest, leave as a friend" was no exaggeration - I for one definitely want to go back there.
