    We spent one night with a lovely view overlooking the Christmas Market and enjoyed a delicious breakfast buffet that had a great variety. The highlight was the excellent service, especially from our waiter who was very attentive.

    Fantastic location - within walking distance of Natural History Museum of Basel. Just next door to the alley across the street, the fairs and outdoor terrace/restaurant. A huge variety of muesli and eggs at breakfast.

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

    Would recommend for a quick weekend visit

    Charming hotel, peaceful room, with 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.

    Scenic river view from the room made for a fine 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.

    fine river view
    really good breakfast
    attentive staff
    noisy environment
    old windows

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

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