I stayed at the Movenpick Basel with colleagues on a 2 night business trip. The hotel is well located and comfortable. It is perfectly adequate for a short business trip. …

I was so excited to finally have one of my longer stays in Basel at the Movenpick. I come 10 times a year and so this was a long awaited stay.The hotel and amenities are beautiful.The service started out wonderful at check in. Great welcome and clear instructions on the hotel and its amenities. However, the very next day at breakfast I began to experience being "invisible" . The Swiss Indoor was happening at the same time, and evidently the people in that group deserved better service than I - with the exception of an older blonde server I was largely ignored, never asked if I wanted anything delivered to the table, etc etc. Unfortunately I only encountered her on one day and the service was poor the rest of the time. NEVER asked if I'd like eggs, or waffles, etc. Not once! Even though I saw clearly those around me were being asked.To top it off, on Sunday, I came down for breakfast at 10:20. I looked for a spot and couldn't find anything clean. By the time one of the tables that were cleaned were made available to me (several others jumped in front of me, welcomed by servers to take the tables) I was promptly told everything closed at 10:30, not 11, and that I could just get whatever was left on the buffet. Meanwhile others were AGAIN ordering around me and getting hot food delivered right up until 11.The housekeeping was also not great, my room was inconsitently cleaned. and, the hallways were a mess because the families of the tennis pros were constantly playing in the hallways and Making SO MUCH NOISE! They left food and a mess everywhere. But it seemed to me that this was not bothering the hotel staff as they were not concerned about the experience I had at the hotel.Disappointing.

Excellent service, great location and good value for money. They definitely know how to treat platinum members 😉 Our floor room was spacious and modern, a very big and comfortable bed. Free travel card and breakfast were a very nice touch.

Absolutely gorgeous in every way. The staff are so helpful. The room luxurious and the bed was comfy. The breakfast and dinner were lovely particularly the ice cream - have the Swiss chocolate. The technology for the air con and the lifts wasn’t very intuitive.

We only stayed one night but it was a pleasant stay. They were able to hold our luggage for us for a day before check in. Great service and clean rooms. Location was great for our needs - about 5min walk to Basel train station.

My wife and I, and another couple who was traveling with us, stayed at the Movenpick Hotel from 9/8/24 - 9/10/24 after our Viking river cruise. Pros - buffet breakfast, comfortable beds and pillows, and convenient location. Cons - the shower in rooms 607 and 1007 were poorly designed for handicap people (we are not handicap). There is no separate shower stall, but a shower curtain in the corner of the bathroom and the floor was pitched in such a way that allowed water to spread throughout the bathroom, leaving puddles that required us to mop the floor with a towel. We were told the hotel was full, but we made our reservations over a year ago through Viking, so we were disappointed with being given these rooms.

I am the happiest person today because of the friendly and caring employees Daniele and Luca.After 7 months they were able to find my jacket which I had accidentally left in the lobby! They were looking for it about 15Min and didn‘t give up until they found it. Big thanks to them - seems like a great management in this hotel!
