Carathotel Basel/Weil am Rhein

The young people at the reception guarantee a smile and a warm welcome. The rooms are old-style but spacious, with comfortable mattresses, large windows, an electric fan, and built-in air conditioning. My bathroom had both a bath and shower, with plenty of hot water. Downstairs, there’s a cozy wooden bar with indoor and outdoor tables set near a soothing fountain. The hotel also offers a large tree-shaded parking area, and on the lawn, recliners invite you to relax, chat in the sun, or take an afternoon nap. There’s a sauna as well, though I didn’t visit it—at the time of my stay, the summer heat across Europe was sauna enough. On the first floor, the restaurant serves tasty Mexican food. The ambiance is always lively, as tourist buses (usually around three per night) often choose this hotel for a stopover, creating a friendly and international crowd. For those who prefer to shop for fruit or snacks, both Lidl and Aldi are close by. The Dreiländerbrücke and its impressive shopping center are only a 15-minute walk away. At the foot of the bridge, a beautiful terrace offers the perfect spot to watch the sunset and see the Rhine glide peacefully by while you enjoy dinner or a cocktail/mocktail.

Mostly everything! The hotel is in a very good location, convenient to visit the cities around. The staff is very polite and very welcoming. The room was spacious, clean and the bed was comfy. The breakfast was great with many options. We also tried the restaurant one night and we liked it a lot! The hotel also has a policy for which the guests can choose to skip the room cleaning one day and get a free drink at the bar in exchange. That was absolutely fantastic! We'll consider staying here again!

Came with my 11months old daughter and my husband for 2 nights in a superior room with free minibar. The staff was very friendly and accommodating also in the restaurant. The Mexican dinner was very good but what really made a difference was the included breakfast that was amazing. Huge free parking and location very close to Basel and France. We requested a crib for our baby and the pack n play we found was perfect, even with baby pillow blanket and cute snoopy linen. We expected the minibar to be refilled the second day but that did not happen as well as the cleaning. Nobody came to clean our room, but again, we stayed only 2 nights so it was ok.

The location of the hotel is ideal specially it is just right beside the exit of autobhan. Big rooms and comfortable beds. Easy to find and just beside Lidl and Aldi. Lots of free parking space. The staff were very helpful, when we arrived there is only 1 receptionist and even though she was a trainee she did her best to help us. The breakfast buffet was good as well.

Strategic position to stop for one night when driving before entering or after exiting Switzerland. Very good breakfast. Big rooms. Competitive price.
