Reviews for Carathotel Basel/Weil am Rhein

Review 1：- somewhat old accommodations / needs revamping - no shuttle bus to tramway station - no air conditionning

Review 2：- price attractive even during fair in Basel - after 15' walking distance to tram N°8 station, easy access to Basel Messe / downtown within 15'. with numerous and safe tramway

Review 3：Only slight bad thing was that my room near to lift and I could hear the ping of it coming and going.

Review 4：The breakfast buffet was plentiful with a huge variety. Location just off the motorway A5 so handy for my stop en route to Austria. Nice big comfortable room with fridge.

Review 5：The wrong information on our arrival from the staff upon the impossibility to eat something and its insistance in asserting the tram station was Dreilaenderbruecke whereas is is Riedlisstrasse, which is an important data for those who come by train.

Review 6：We did like the comfort and the size of the room, a beautiful bath with bathtub as well as the gorgeous breakfast.

Review 7：the location is a long way from any transport of indeed the towns themselves. you need a car. The area isn't a pleasant one to be in unless only travelling for a short time The hotel charged my credit card without my authorisation ( the one used to guarantee the room on booking.com

Review 8：great room good sauna

Review 9：Brilliant selected place near autoroutes. All Hotel decorated with paintings and art for sale ! Excellent breakfast buffet ! Wide windows with view to Rhein river! Safe free parking !

Review 10：Intermittent Internet ... Very outdated ... No showers .... Attached to taps in the bath, very old decor, bed heads are worn ... Noisy fan in bathroom ... No kettle, no in room drinking facilities ... No mini bar ... No ironing facilities (you have to ask to have an iron in your room). 1.2km walk fm the nearest tram stop - nearest facilities is the McDonalds about 1km away.

Review 11：Breakfast. Restaurant is good but service is awful.

Review 12：No water in the mini-bar, so I had to buy it from the restaurant; I payed Eur 5.8 for 0.4l of still water (2 bottles of 0.2l each) and Eur 6.3 for a 0.75l bottle

Review 13：Excellent price for a 4 star hotel, great breakfast including fresh orange/grapefruit juice, good restaurant for dinner, good location if you have a car, free parking and wi-fi. It's an excellent hotel if you are in transit.

Review 14：That we could not put dinner on our room bill.

Review 15：nice spacious, calm room. Night reception was very helpful in supporting by organizing us a emergency dr to come to hotel. Breakfast was super.

Review 16：Hotel has been re-decorated, but still is rather old. Restaurant looks promising but is quiet dissapointing. If would have helped if the staff worked with a little more pleasure.

Review 17：Close to Basel. But check Basel, they might be even cheaper

Review 18：Interior is outdated, but clean and plenty space. Surroundings not inspiring, but conveniently located at the border and close to Basel.

Review 19：Located at the german-swiss border is excellent. Breakfast was fabulous and beds were good to sleep on.

Review 20：On site restaurant has very good food, good value but the staff need to pay more attention. One young man had just had smoke before he came to our table and smelled. And we had to ask several times for our bill. Never came to our table to see if we wanted anything. Very poor service.

Review 21：very nice property have stayed here before.

Review 22：No close-by public transportation that might be a problem for the older people and family with kids.

Review 23：If one is willing to take a 15 walk to get to Basel tram that crosses the German-Swiss border and bring you to the downtown Basel in 20-25 minutes then the hotel is a real gem for the 1/3 price of Basel Hotels.

Review 24：We arrived late and the reception was open and the staff were very pleasant The bar stayed open late and there were plenty of people around Breakfast was excellent

Review 25：Reception accepted credit card to charge extras to room, but bar would only accept cash.Maintenance man in room on arrival, then another staff member came in with master key. No ventilation in room other than opening window, which was noisy. No food available at lunch time and no options nearby.

Review 26：Staff friendly and spoke English. Good choice at breakfast.

Review 27：Quite experienced staff in the restaurant. Forgot to serve drinks and parts that went with the food. But the food itselves was very good.

Review 28：Good location just 2 minutes across the border to Switzerland.

Review 29：- looking somewhat "old" ...but comfortable

Review 30：- reasonnable distance (1km) to access to a Tram N°8 that connects you to the center / closed to Basel fair within 15min - no air conditioning for the room of my colleagues

Review 31：Inability to accept my US bank credit card at the restaurant (no pin).

Review 32：Close proximity to the autobahn. Mexican restaurant located within the hotel. Good food & good value for the money. Free parking and free internet. Very good breakfast with plenty of items to select from. Availability of fresh squeezed (self service) citrus juice a real plus.

Review 33：Clean spacious rooms, comfortable beds, welcoming and helpful staff, good restaurant (Mexican menu) and varied breakfast including bacon, sausage, eggs and fresh orange juice. Just off motorway so convenient if using as a travelling stop.

Review 34：The decor is very early 80s...

Review 35：Location is perfect, right off the highway and by the swiss border. Price is good, considering the proximity with switzerland. Breakfast was varied and delicious. Very clean.

Review 36：Wifi can act up sometimes, Bathroom cleanliness could be perfected, Indoor restaurant could be better.

Review 37：Excellent staff, Free parking, Very good amenities, Tram #8 to Basel at 10/15mn walk, Vfm so much better than Accor group alternatives.

Review 38：Excellent location if you are transiting to Italy, Switzerland, right at the border, close to the highways. Very nice Mexican restaurant, real value for money. Superb breakfast buffet.

Review 39：The hotel is outdated. Although maintained, it needs to be updated and refurbished. Old style hotel that needs to get into the 21st century.

Review 40：Great location for visiting museums Vitra Design Museums, and galleries/Museums in Basel.

Review 41：Our room was near the elevator, bringing some noise inside. Absence of air condition is an issue especially in hot summer nights.

Review 42：Great location for travellers, just 10 minutes away from Basel airport. Friendly staff. The mexican restaurant is a really nice one, offering a wide menu and cocktail list. Best breakfast ever with large variety.

Review 43：They gave us a 2 rooms not connected which is not good for a family with young children, also first night the 2 rooms without AC which was very deficult to sleep , also in 9th. Floor there are a naked women drawing facing the elevator which not suitable for kids.

Review 44：The location is close to the Swiss and France, and view from the mountin side is nice. Breakfast is perfect,

Review 45：You can barely find any taxi that will take you to the airport in the night because they have to drive in from Basel and they only get paid for the short(5min drive) to the airport. We ended up paying 32euros for a cab organized by the hotel, that arrived 20 minutes late. The receptionist was not very helpful to speed things up, even though we told him that we might lose our flight. This is stupid, because we chose the hotel for the sole purpose of being close to the airport. The hotel itself looks very old and strange. Although it was clean, you could see that it has not been renovated since the 1970-1980 and I had the feeling that you could film "Good Bye Lenin" in it. I have stayed in several hotels in this price range in Basel and can certainly say that this hotel should not be listed in this category.

Review 46：It is very close to the airport.

Review 47：Wifi was reasonably good but inconsistent, and the sink knobs were very tight. Other than those minor details, everything was high end and comfy.

Review 48：Having a business meeting in Basel (CH), things can get expensive quickly. This hotel is unbeatable for the price, the location and the overall quality of the amenities. Breakfast with lots of choice and free parking...

Review 49：The room was stifling hot. There was no air conditioning nor did the front desk have a fan to bring to our room. We had to get housekeeping to come and unlock the windows so they could be opened so we could get a breeze.

Review 50：Wonderful restaurant--dinner was delicious (though water is quite expensive). Breakfast was fabulous with a large selection of hot dishes, meats, cheeses, bread, honey, jam, yogurt, cereal, fruit... The bed was comfortable as well as the chairs in the sitting area.

Review 51：We arrived on a Sunday...no public transport nearby(we are both in our 70's) and it is a long walk to closest transport

Review 52：Only stayed two nights,but staff friendly & helpful. Breakfast excellent

Review 53：Clean large rooms, comfortable bed, quiet location close to motorway. Good food at on-site restaurant. Free parking. Polite, friendly and helpful staff.

Review 54：The room was very dated. The television was out of the stone age The décor was very dated The sheets gave a sandpaper feel

Review 55：The breakfast was well done

Review 56：Unfortunately, the facilities and the furniture are outworn and quite old. In my opinion, they don't satisfy the expectations of a hotel of the first rate.

Review 57：For breakfast, there was a great range of food. Frehshly pressed orange juice and other drinks, a great variety of bread, cheese and meat, warm food, fruits and desserts. Best of all, the staff made a big effort to refill all the empty platters.

Review 58：We had some issues in the restaurant for dinner. We were seated by a very large loud group who let their little kids run all over screaming in the restaurant. Took over an hour to get our meal and by then we just wanted to leave.

Review 59：Anna at the front desk was extremely friendly and helpful. Chairs in room comfortable. Breakfast was amazing! So many choices and they had gluten free bread.

Review 60：Old rooms old furniture old TV from the 90's ! Small blanket no light in the bathroom no shuttle service to the airport as its written on the booking hotel's page but an expensive taxi instead (around 30 euros for 7 km to the airport) Bad smell on the 3rd floor (cigaret)

Review 61：Nothing !

Review 62：The hotels write that they offer a shuttle service... Well, that's not true... The hotel doesn't offer anything, they just call a pricy taxi company where the have their commissions (obviously) and charge around 25-35 euros for a transfer to the airport. (only 7 km). Booking says that the hotel is near the airport but there are other hotels much closer The rooms are old decorated with old TVs (not even flat screen in some rooms) with damaged furnitures and even a radio station from the 90's. There is not enough light in the bathroom. There are small individual blankets on the beds (1meter x2 meter long)... too small !!!! and only 1 pilot per person... they say it's a 4 star hotel but for me Ibis hotel are much more comfortable than this hotel.

Review 63：Bar did close early and not much available in the near vicinity.

Review 64：Fantastic breakfast. Included in our rooms but worth the extra if not. Staff were helpful and efficient.

Review 65：Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The Breakfast Buffet was sumptuous and better than many 5star hotels that I have stayed at around the world.

Review 66：Nothing to grumble about

Review 67：this is a good value hotel, ok it is not 4* but it does provide good value for money and yes the breakfast is good. NB: the parking is free also

Review 68：Not possible to get food or drink during the day, other than from a DIY coffee machine in reception. We asked for a beer and a light bite to eat in the bar at 3/4pm but was told there were no staff......in a supposedly 4 star hotel!! Poor show Very dated hotel, I'm sure it was very good in the 70s!

Review 69：Check in staff on arrival were very friendly and helpful

Review 70：no air conditioning in rooms. no kettle in room. location of hotel.

Review 71：hotel. staff. facilities. late check-in/out. restaurant. bar. reception.

Review 72：The wi-fi was really bad. It was nearly impossible to use despite the fact that the modem was located just outside the hotel room.

Review 73：The bed was good, and we had a good dinner in the restaurant.

Review 74：Poor light in room No free power outlet around the bed and the desk Only one window to tilt, the other completley locked, and a very poor air conditioning in the room, so it was too warm by night, even it wasn't really warm outside. Table lamps, desk etc. look very used 8,00 Euro per night for a (small) parking place outside of the hotel and even not monitored is too much.

Review 75：Hazienda restaurant Friendly, helpful staff, but a little (too much) broken German of the international staff.

Review 76：There was no air conditioning and the windows could not be open.

Review 77：The rooms were spacious and pleasant to be in. We loved the complementary coffee in the morning. We like our evening meal in the restaurant.

Review 78：Room was very hot - no airconditioning. Booked double room, got twin. No power points available for laptop Took half an hour to connect to internet. Parking cost excessive. Did not sleep. Too hot or too noisy with windows open and single bed.

Review 79：Nice looking large modern hotel room

Review 80：wifi didn't work in room no safe in rooms rest nit picking - not sure about the paintings in front of lift on floor 9 crazy queuing traffic at motorway junction at rush hours pillows were rubbish - seriously what were they?
