Strongly recommend for a brief pause

Charming room, generous breakfast, perfect location, with comfortable beds and complimentary travel passes that made exploring the area extremely convenient.

Completely satisfied

The bed was super comfy, but the decor was stuck in the 70s.

I really enjoyed my stay here, especially with the super comfy bed and the hot shower that felt amazing after a day of exploring. There's also a lovely garden area to relax and a charming little café down the street for a snack. The only downside was the slightly outdated decor, but it didn’t ruin my overall experience. 😊

Spotlessly clean and delightful service with a charming traditional ambiance.

Loved the spacious room with a lovely view of the fountain. the electric kettle and tea/sugar were a nice touch! ! Also, the guest cards for free transport were super handy for exploring Basel.

Everything was amazing.

historic charm, centrally located, access to public transport

The décor feels outdated and the bathrooms badly need an upgrade!!! Maintenance issues persist, including poor light in some rooms and inadequate soundproofing from the busy streets outside!!! Temperature control is far from optimal.

Couple's retreat, a memorable stay

We checked in early and the host was super accommodating, giving us a beautiful corner room with a stunning fountain view. It was a lovely touch when they provided us with free transport passes which made moving around the city a breeze! !

It wasn't exactly budget-friendly, but it was still acceptable.

i had a great stay at spalenbrunnen hotel & restaurant. the location is perfect, close to the old town area, making it easy to explore. the staff was excellent and super friendly. the restaurant served delicious indian food in the evening with generous portions, which was a nice treat.

100% recommend

Our family enjoyed a lovely visit, exploring nearby attractions without hassle. With two couples in tow, we found the location super convenient, and the complimentary travel cards were a nice bonus. It was easy to get around and see what Basel had to offer.

In my wife’s opinion, the hotel could improve on noise insulation.

Had a great time with friends! The beds were super comfy, and the tea/coffee facilities really made mornings easier. We loved the nearby bakery for breakfast and explored the university and local attractions. The location was perfect for walking around. Definitely recommend if you're looking for convenience and comfort!

We had a little trouble during check-in when there was another guest in our assigned room, which was awkward. This did take a bit to sort out.

The hotel is conveniently located near the university and major tourist attractions, making it easy to explore the area. The generous room size is complemented by comfortable beds and decent amenities like a mini fridge and tea-making facilities. However, the decor is quite dated, and the public spaces have an unusual smell from the Indian restaurant on-site. Maintenance issues were noticeable, particularly with the unreliable fan and worn carpets.

Great location but needs a serious upgrade

The hotel is in a prime spot, just a short walk from the university and easy access to public transport, which is a huge plus. The room was spacious, and it had a mini fridge and tea/coffee facilities, perfect for our needs. However, the decor feels stuck in the past, and some aspects like the bathrooms definitely need attention, with issues like mold and outdated fittings being quite off-putting.

It was a nice choice for a mini-break over the weekend in Basel with good value considering the price charged. The fridge and tea/coffee making facilities in the room were useful for our quick stay. Make sure to check for the nearest bus stop to avoid getting lost.
