Die Zimmer sind schon sehr in die Jahre gekommen,der Teppichboden eigentlich ein No-Go, aber das Bett war gut und sauber, das Bad modern und gut ausgestattet. Das inkludierte Frühstück lässt keine Wünsche offen, Kaffee auch in der Lobby und auch genügend Parkplätze zur freien Verfügung. Alles in allem, top Preis/Leistungsverhältnis, gerne wieder.

Despite our average rating scores we enjoyed our stay. Room and furnishings old and tired but everything worked as it should. Big windows with great view. Some problems with housekeeping which was very limited and we had to ask. Very good breakfast and the evening restaurant meals were also enjoyable and not too expensive. We enjoyed being able to hire Brompton bikes. 5 minute walk to Aldi and nearest bus stop. 15 minute walk over into France. Plenty of parking and the location is probably more suited to those arriving by car. Some good outside space.

We enjoyed our stay at the Carathotel, which was ideally located for access into Basel by tram, and well priced. The breakfast was excellent, a really good selection including gluten free bread and muffins. The hotel's mexican-style restaurant in the evening was also very good, again with gluten free options marked and very well priced. The hotel itself is a little tired given its age, but very well maintained and clean, and the bathroom particularly was well equipped, with great lighting and a bath. The hotel is actually in Germany, not Switzerland, which means that guests are not entitled to a Basel Tourist pass, however, the much lower price of the hotel rooms more than compensates for this. It is about at 10 minute walk to the tram station from the hotel and then only a 10 minute ride to Basel AltStadt. The hotel information stated that there was a shuttle to the airport, which is not the case, they simply book a taxi. We were told the cost would be no more than 35 euros, but it actually cost 45.

Excellent hotel
Working in Basel so booked into a superior room on 9th floor. Very spacious with a table of 4 chairs so easy to work and have dinner. Fan included so no air conditioning unit but comfortable. Nice large windows so lots of breeze. Shower is high pressure so amazing to use and overall very comfortable. Breakfast was continental and lots of options to choose from. Will defo book again! Uber is difficult to call BUT taxi is available on demand at reception.

Great stay, lovely staff
We had an event to attend in Basel and we picked Carat hotel (in Germany) . Such a good decision, big clean, light room, very clean and comfortable but above all very good service from the staff. Leon at the reception helped us with all our needs and George organized an amazing ack breakfast for my wife who had to leave very early in the morning. Their in house restaurant Hacienda is very good also. we had breakfast there.
