    The breakfast was incredibly abundant and highly recommended! The staff was nice, the room was comfortable, and there is a restaurant right in the hotel. As women traveling alone, we felt safe and well taken care of.

    Felt so taken care of, no complaints at all.

    The room at Dorint Basel City was spacious and well-equipped with tea/coffee facilities and bottled water. I loved the bathroom with the heater light, it was a fantastic touch. The bed was comfortable and the hotel was quiet, ensuring a good night's sleep. The location was convenient, with a nearby tram stop and easy access to the conference center. The breakfast served at the hotel was also good. The hotel offered great parking facilities and the wifi was excellent. The vegetarian burger at the hotel's restaurant was tasty.

    We had an amazing time staying in this hotel. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the city. It was just a short walk away from the congress centre where we attended a conference, and it was also conveniently close to the airport. We loved exploring the museums nearby, it added a cultural touch to our trip. The room was modern and clean, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The breakfast spread was delicious and had something for everyone. we had a fantastic experience.

    That the noise from outside and the rooms upstairs could be a bit distracting at times.
