Wear ear plugs
My room was next to the cleaners cupboard which was used from 6.45am daily and was very noisy. The noise from other guests was so bad I hardly slept, doors banging, shouting in the corridors, kids running up and down and just as you got to sleep the cleaners started banging their cupboard door, it was unacceptable. Oh and thats apart from the trams outside !

Decent Value Hotel
Hotel Alexander provides decent value for Basel. It offers free wifi and is located close to tram lines with easy access to Basel and Basel Bad rail stations. It is within about 15 minutes walking distance of central Basel.

We found this hotel to be very noisy. It was warm and the windows were open. You heard a lot of the nearby rooms activity. There is no staff on duty after 10 pm so if you needed anything, there was no one to call.

Not a three start hotel by any means! Stay Away!
I had to catch a flight in Basel and stayed at the Alexander hotel. Having stayed in Basel at other hotels, I was very disappointed with the hotel itself, the service, the food, the room. Desk staff was nice. I stayed in a family room where we have to go outside on the fifth floor to get to the room. There was absolutely no air conditioning, I had to ask for a fan which did not help much. I had to open the windows but did not feel safe to keep them open since the room was somewhat remote from the main part of the hotel. All the noise from the street came in. The breakfast was subpar and the restaurant dirty. There was a bug in the orange juice container. No free parking unless you park in the street. This hotel is in dire need of renovation. Bathroom was extremely old. I am surprised that Hotels.com has it on its list of recommended hotels for its customers. Will not stay again and do not advise others to do so.

Strong shower and strong wifi.
I was given a room on the 4th floor in the back. It was nice and quiet. The room was clean. The furniture was old and dilapidated, but I didn't care. I was on a conference trip at the university. The shower was nice and strong, and so was the wifi, and that was all I needed. I had a croissant, cold cuts, and a bowl of fruit every morning with a glass of orange juice and a cup of tea, which I was perfectly happy with. The staff were friendly, helpful, and spoke perfect English. The location was very convenient. The only part that made me a bit uncfortable had to do with the thin walls other guests have mentioned in their reviews. When my neighbors were trying to open their doors at night, it sounded as if they were literally opening mine. It was scary. I also had trouble opening the door with the key and taking out the key after the door was opened, which I think had to do with the worn condition of the building. Overall, I think this is a perfectly sensible place to stay if you're on a business trip.

Last minute overnight in Base
Found this hotel at a really good rate, considering it was a last minute decision to stay overnight in Basel. The outside of the hotel is not welcoming but the staff is nice and efficient. My room was simple but clean and everything needed was there including a coffee machine

Overnight for Business
Overnight for Business. Nice hotel, room was clean, comfortable and quiet. My room faces the front of the hotel which had a couple of sidewalk cafe' that might have been busy and possibly noisy except that it rained all day and night. No AC, but the evening was cool. Very close to the tram, 400 meter, easy access to the Basel Central Train Station (about 7 minutes) and the EuroAirpot at Basel (about 10 minutes by bus from the train station). Nice Buffet Breakfast, opened at 06:30. Would stay here again.
