I know the Novotel Basel well because we regularly book rooms for our guests. We receive consistently positive feedback from our guests regarding the service, the furnishings of the rooms and the friendliness of the staff.Recently I was personally at the Novotel for a job interview. Although it wasn't planned, Mr. Johannes Bemerl from the back office took the time to greet me personally and offer me a coffee. The interaction was extremely professional, humane and very friendly.

The location of the hotel is really great, close to everything, which is very convenient. However, several negative points really affected my stay. The cleanliness of the room left something to be desired, with a defect on one of the windows (impossible to close, therefore noise) and pipe problems (odors).The air conditioning was intentionally set to low, probably for savings, despite complaints from several different guests, making the room uncomfortable.Parking is extremely expensive, which adds a significant expense. Regarding the breakfast buffet, the quality is disappointing: no fresh fruit juice, low-end products.Unfortunately, apart from the location, the overall experience did not live up to our expectations for a 4 star.

It exceeded our expectations. It is a ten hotel, it is worth staying here and enjoying the comforts of the rooms and facilities. We only had one mishap with the kettle, which had mold. Be careful with that because I had already boiled the water and that's when I realized, if it doesn't take me to realize we'll drink it like that.

The parking garage with access and elevator to the hotel is practical. The location of the hotel is "convenient", but certainly not nice. But that was clear beforehand.||Reception was prepared for our check-in. …

It was a business like stay. Met expectations of a Novotel stay, but that's all. Nothing memorable or worth special mention. Some disappointments though: welcome amenities for Platinum member was miserly and replies to emails took forever (if they were even replied).

Noisy room that does not allow you to rest during the night, since it does not have enough soundproofing and allows the noise of the street from traffic and the passage of trams. …

Very friendly employees. Located close to Basel SBB train station. Unfortunately, the windows are extremely poorly insulated and therefore every single car can be heard... A restful sleep is out of the question.
