this hotel is situated very near the convention centre and is well placed close to a tram stop to the station and old town and centre
reception when we arrived was quite busy and somewhat preoccupied. The room was small but the bed comfortable and the room and small bathroom spotlessly clean. However the windows overlook a main street and the tram cars began very early in the morning and were noisy.
breakfast was good and there was a comfortable lounge adjacent to the breakfast room which would have given us a much more positive experience of the hotel.. Unfortunately we had not been shown that on arrival and did not discover it until next morning .there are several restaurants within walking distance but in May some of these were not open in the early evening.
the24-hour transport card provided by the hotel is a welcome addition to make your first hours easy.

Spent two weeks in Basel staying at the Munchnerhof Hotel. Lucky to have booked one of the "business" rooms, as my friends had an economy room, which was so small one became severely claustrophobic when visiting! Don't even consider taking one of the roof rooms on the 5th floor. This is communal living at its best, with everyone sharing a common shower and bathroom..not to mention the severe heat in the rooms during the hot 35 degree Basel summer days. The decor of the business room I stayed in was dated with strange artwork. The room was incredibly hot and stuffy, as there is no air conditioning in the hotel. The rooms were, however, efficiently serviced daily and all accommodation was very clean! Breakfasts are generous, however after 2 weeks, cold meats and croissants every morning became a bit too much. The free high speed internet and travel cards are a bonus. Hotel reception staff are cold, unfriendly and any requests are greeted with disdain! The reception staff should be sent on a public relations course as their miserable attitude really sours ones stay! Strangely the rest of the staff e.g. restaurant staff, were, however, friendly and helpful! If you are looking for budget, no frills accommodation stay at the Munchnerhof and be prepared for an icy reception. However, rather spend a bit more money and stay at the Dorint Hotel down the road!

Spotless Economy class hotel very central with tram connections. The staff & service were excellent. The breakfast was lovely. Basel was warm & safe. Day trip to Lucerne was fantastic.

As prices in Switzerland are quite expensive this hotel is what I would class as a "value" hotel. Very clean and comfortable , but basic. Interior decor is a bit bizarre , but the staff were most helpful .Breakfast was very limited but all in all the hotel was still handy for central Basel. We were given a free tram / bus pass for our stay and this was really useful as the tram stopped outside the door. £25 taxi fare from the airport , Christmas markets were lovely but again , Switzerland is very pricey- £6-10 for baubles /bits from the market stalls. We have visited Prague at the same time of year and found it much better value. However the Swiss we met were very welcoming and very polite , the weather very cold and Christmassy.
