The hotel is centrally located and a tram stop is only steps away. It was thus no problem for us to leave the car in the (admittedly tight) hotel garage throughout our stay. We had a quick and friendly check-in and the elegant lobby was promising. The tasteful style continued in the corridors with wall-sized pictures of Basle and in the spacious premium room on the 4th floor with a view to the calm courtyard (as requested). The room facilities were 4*plus standard with the exception of the bathroom. The latter was clean and looked nice but was a bit on the small side and had a shower cabin with somewhat peculiar dimensions: extremely long and quite narrow (might be uncomfortable for an overweight person), presumably reflecting the space that had previously been taken by a bathtub... And regrettably the holder for shampoo and body wash dispensers was broken and we thus had to put them on the floor... Apart from breakfast (the buffet was ok) we did not use the restaurant due to the large variety of restaurants at walkable distance. Despite the minor nuisances mentioned above which deprived the hotel of the "excellent" rating we fully recommend the Radisson.

“Loved the hotel restaurant & breakfast”

Echoing other reviewers: the atmosphere, service, amenities and proximity to public transit are excellent. I normally experience pain while sleeping but had no issue with this mattress and pillow.

Echoing other reviewers: the atmosphere, service, amenities and proximity to public transit are excellent. I normally experience pain while sleeping but had no issue with this mattress and pillow. The room is spacious and it had a dedicated, and functional, AC unit, which is appreciated. Like other reviewers indicated, the only issue is the small washroom. I could manage fine, but it would be challenging for someone with mobility issues so this could be a need worth indicating up front. Lastly, I was grateful for the quality of food, service, and convenience of the buffet-style hotel restaurant. Especially enjoyed the breakfast buffet - I’m not used to something this nice. It is more expensive so it was with including breakfast with the room and, traveling for business, I appreciated that I could get something quick to eat. Special shout out to Jean at the hotel restaurant who was friendly, welcoming, and quick to attend to the needs of weary travelers.

“A nice hotel, with great rooms, but very noisy at night”

I booked a premium room to get a good nights sleep as I was mid-way on a 1200km drive. Unfortunately the trams outside the hotel started at 05:00 and broke what was going to be a good nights rest. The room was excellent, and the beds comfy, but I do not feel that the price of the premium room match… lisää

“Well located central Basel hotel”

Check in is tedious, the computer requires me to type in all the information my booking app already has. It just feels like a data capture exercise rather than a ‘welcome to our hotel’. I eventually got rescued by the receptionist who said he would remove my non-visiting second guest but he didn’t … lisää

Check in is tedious, the computer requires me to type in all the information my booking app already has. It just feels like a data capture exercise rather than a ‘welcome to our hotel’. I eventually got rescued by the receptionist who said he would remove my non-visiting second guest but he didn’t so it charged two city taxes after I’d left the hotel. The hotel is ok, room was comfortable but a little bit dated, ie well used. Location is good, lots of restaurants nearby and a ten minute walk to the main station.
