The superior room for couples don’t even have a double bed.It is instead two single when we ordered a double bed

It’s located right next to the tram station which was super convenient to get to the main train stop. They had lovely friendly staff and we got a small treat and flavored water while we were waiting for check in. They also give you a card to travel around the city on the public transport. Breakfast was also really good!!

Poor quality mattress and pillow that is old. No bath robe, toiletries and bedroom slippers. They didn’t bother to top up water, coffee or tea on subsequent days. Did not consistently clear the trash. Not a nice feeling when returning from a long day of meetings, to see that the room is not cleaned up.

Clean and neat. All you would expect for Radisson Blu. Location wise not the best - if you are coming over from Basel SBB it takes quite a walk from there, difficult if you are with big luggage.

Great hotel and position! The only downside was the bathroom did emit a smell. It wasn't overpowering, just not pleasant. It's okay when the bathroom door is shut but still there when you open it. It didn't bother me a lot but it may be something others find uncomfortable. Otherwise, a great hotel with friendly staff and very comfortable.
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!
