    Nice scenic view from my room. Street noise was a bit too much at night from bars nearby. They offer free bicycle rentals, which is great for exploring the area.

    Would recommend for a quick weekend visit

    Charming hotel, peaceful room, featuring a lovely view of the Rhine River and a powerful modern shower in the well-maintained bathroom. Easy access to public transport from the airport.

    Everything was spot-on.

    Scenic river view from the room made for a stunning morning appearance.

    The street noise was disruptive at night due to nearby bars.

    clean hotel
    convenient snacks

    Just a prime choice for a weekend vacation in Basel with fantastic value. The hotel was super clean, and I loved the treats in the hallway like gummies and chocolate. Opt for a room facing the river for a quieter stay.

    stunning river view

    attentive staff
    noisy environment
    old windows

    The location of Krafft is ideal, right by the Rhine River offering stunning views. The breakfast was exceptional, with a variety of freshly baked pastries and high-quality coffee. The staff was exceptionally attentive, promptly providing a non-feather duvet and extra pillows when requested, which enhanced my comfort during the stay.

    The room was noisy at night due to nearby bars and street activity.

    Loved the cozy vibes and the unique traditional metal key system! Plus, the Rhine view from my room was breathtaking.
