Traveling from Canada, we found Basel to be quite expensive. That said, Royal Hotel provided really good value for money. It was professionally run, the self check-in was easy, and being across the street from transit was very convenient. The unit was small, but very clean and as advertised. There were 5 of us (two adults and three teen children) and had a good sleep. It was nice to have a (small) work area too. We'd stay again!

Very loud and the building was shaking throughout the night as the hotel is directly across from the German train station. unsure what bit me overnight (10 bites), but it wasn’t a mosquito. Front desk was staffed with very welcoming and helpful people! We appreciated the Basel card that provided free transportation and half off museums. Loved the city of Basel, but would not stay here again.

Not being able to easily leave suitcases at reception , because it’s more like serviced rooms than a hotel was difficult but being able to check in at 12 and access our room straight away was really good .

Room was a bit dated and it felt like I was the only guest! No front desk staff in the evening - had to get in outside via a machine which was a little unnerving. In the morning the front desk attendee was very polite and helpful

Awesome staff and place to stay
The young lady at the front desk was extremely helpful to us, and offered us directions to the city. It was so nice to have the transport pass even though we had Swiss Rail passes that we could have used, but hat was a very nice touch. The room was so nice and large and the bed was fantastic!!!!! It was quite and very well positioned in the city. Love this place!

Good, basic work stay in Basel
A clean, quiet place, good for a business stay. Slightly further from things than similarly priced places. Very few staff and reception closed outside work hours but all we’re very friendly. Automated check-in after hours

We loved the Royal!
We stayed at the Royal while waiting to board our cruise. So we stayed only one night. But the manager greeted us warmly, offered advice, made some restaurant recommendation and so forth before we even checked in. Then he followed up on a bogey taxi driver who overcharged us. The service was stellar. We loved the room. Modern, clean, elegant and efficient.
