Boutique & Design Hotel Volkshaus Basel

We had a very attractive and clean and quiet room on the top floor. We appreciated that the ventilation system was quiet, and the room was cool even in hot weather. The only thing that irked me is that the room price was hugely inflated because of Art Basel, and breakfast was not included. Also, we couldn’t make use of any of the public rooms because they had been rented out, it seemed, to an Art Basel group. That’s fine and I have no objection to it. If anything, however, it should make the room price go down. No one likes to feel fleeced. The hotel did not seem at all full, so it should seem to me that it would be smarter to marginally raise the price and have a full occupancy. But I’m not in the hotel business. Otherwise, very nice personnel who went out of their way to be accommodating. Certainly, I would recommend this hotel.

Volkshaus hotel is fabulous! My husband and 6 year old son stayed here for 3 nights in June. The rooms were clean, modern and stocked with everything we needed. The staff were very friendly and gave us great recommendations on dining and museums and how to float down the Rhine river. We had a blast will definitely stay here again if back in Basel.

Lovely hotel. Staff is very eager to make sure you enjoy your stay. The room was spacious, quiet and luxurious. We had lunch & dinner in the restaurant and both were fantastic. Centrally located to everything in the city. Will definitely stay here on future visits.
