"We checked into the hotel just for an overnight stay as we were passing through Basel and only had 1 day to spend there. When checking in the lady at reception (Farah) was amazingly helpful with everything. I have to say Farah went out of her way to make us feel welcome and made sure we had everything we needed. She even told us that the hotel had an extra stroller which we could borrow for when we went exploring Basel, this came is very handy with our Daughter as we were walking around alot the next day. Cannot recommend enough. "

"I'm happy in stay in dorint hotel. The location is good but if you come from euroairport you have to take bus no 50 and then change to bus no 30 ( chamge at basel train station) but there is many way to go to hotel. This way i choose the bus stop is opposite to each other and the shortest walk. If u come with big luggage this is the best way. For the dorint hotel, a little bit noisy it facing the road, but not so much. There is no air conditioner in room, in summer you will feel heating. The restroom is tiny but not feel crowded. Overall I like this hotel. "

"Why we booked this hotel? Pool. Most disappointing: Pool. Room Service overpriced. No Bathropes in the room so how do you get to the pool? Hotel is in CH but lockers in pool area only work with 1,- EUR to lock the things you brought because of no bathropes. Oh bathropes can be picked up at the reception is what the pool staff said. Cold water, no warm jaccuzi or anything like it. Seems it's open to public because pool was crowded. Lot of noise on sunday morning from moving furniture on the floor above. 2hs early check in charge: 40.- CHF same surcharge as when checking in at 8am..."
