From the amenities and the location the Basel Hotel is good but nothing special, the price is reasonable. Where they really score is their outstanding service. Every wish was fulfilled with a smile, WiFi is free, and when parking was a problem the staff let us park our car in their already full employee garage. I can only recommend this... more

I was so sceptic about this hotel ! I booked only because of good price on the hotel's website . You know? It was a big surprise to find out: great location, very simple, but clean wooden floor in the room, lovely breakfast (possibility to order an omlet w/cheese, onion & mushroms - free of charge) , nice receptionists' services,... more

The hotel lobby is nice and the receptionist was nice. The rooms are small and not very clean. There was a shoe left under the bed from the previous owner and I'm not sure how recently the room had been vacuumed. The air conditioning was nice and powerful. TV got lots of channels. We picked up free wireless. The breakfast... more

Beware! Read on if you dare! It was so terrible I didn't even want to write about it till now! After a long flight I was looking foward to some rest and relaxation in a nice hotel. I chose this one for the convenient locaton to where I needed to get to. Upon arriving at the hotel, I found the... more

We stayed at the Basel Hotel because they had a room when we desparately needed one. $113 for 2 people. The place was just fine, no big luxury except the breakfast was very good (lots of selection). Small room, no view, small bathroom -- but there was a refrigerator in the room. The beach is on the other side of... more

Our family just returned from a trip to Israel. We stayed one night, two days at the Basel, Tel Aviv. We had two rooms on the fourth floor. The good news: close to the beach (although crossing the very busy divided highway was quite the adventure), great breakfast, good cafe with reasonably priced menu, clean rooms and close to the... more

I stayed at the Hotel Basel for three nights just prior to Passover. I obtained a rate of less than $100 a night from the Gems in Israel website. This was my second choice, as my first choice, Basel's sister hotel the Melody, was undergoing renovation. If you're thinking about staying at the Basel because of what you think is... more

Don't expect many favors from the staff which, even by the somewhat-curt norm of Israeli service employees, is abrupt. When we checked in and discovered that the room was opposite the elevator, we were flatly told that no change was possible during our two-day stay. There is limited parking here, and we discovered that it's strictly first-come, first-served -- even... more

My husband and I stayed at the the Basel beggining of June 2004. We loved it. The rooms are well appointed. The hotel was recently refurbished and it showed. The furniture looked new. The breakfast was great. The service was great. The location could not been better. We stayed there for a week and would love to stay there again... more
