My spouse and I arrived having just spent 3 nights at the Swissotel Berlin. The Plaza hotel and staff were very bit as comfortable and welcoming as the hotel in Berlin. The young man at the front desk escorted us to our room and answered our questions. Later, we had the opportunity to talk with other staff who were just... more

Apart from the stench of smoke in a non smoking room, hotel was pleasant, staff were friendly and for the price it was top notch. Tram stop just outside the hotel and free transport card made everything easy to get to. Had a very corporate feel about it so I probably wouldn't return to the hotel as I was with... more

I arrived in Switzerland on March 20th, traveling from Wisconsin to attend a conference, the World Psychedelic Forum. The WPF conference was hosted at the Congress Centel of Basel, which is right next to/ attached to the Swissotel le Plaza Basel, making it an obvious choice for accommodations. Check-in was efficient and they took care of retrieving my luggage from... more

Booked rooms at this hotel due to a conference. Found the staff friendly, but that was about the only thing positive I could say. The rooms were "run down" looking, only the lobby of the hotel was nice. The food was very expensive, not worth the price. I would not go back. more

I am an event planner by profession and was sent to the Swissotel in Basel on business. The hotel is well situated, a short tram ride from the train station and about 15 minutes by cab from Basel Airport. Many business travelers fly into Zurich and take a train at the airport to Basel (about an hour twenty minutes, purchase... more

We stayed in a Junior Suite (room 501) which was very comfortable and equipped with the usual fittings of a businesshotel. Breakfast is good, eggs to order and the lot. In a small lobby on 5th floor was a desk with internet access all day round and free. The location is convenient to the towncenter, several tramlines stop at the... more

Wonderful stay in Basel! Excellent staff and breakfast; nice clean rooms and the location was very good, too. Free tram tickets made traveling very easy to manage. Our kids also loved the pool as well. more

It really depends on what you want. My room was modern, absolutely clean and with all the facilities you expect - ironing, tea/coffee machines... But this is really the only nice thing I can say about this hotel, because: - 200 euro per night is overpriced. This hotel is nice, but luxury is something else. -the hall and the lounge... more

Just came back from a week-end in Le Plaza and I have to say that it's not a 5* hotel.A nice 4* business hotel - yes, but from a 5* I do expect a certain "wow-factor" and here it's totally missing. Rooms are clean but very simple, uninspiring and not luxurious at all.There are several very old things in the... more
