Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Euler

Centralbahnpl. 14, Basel, Basel-City, 4002, Switzerland

This 150-year-old landmark, conveniently located near the main train station, has been tastefully renovated throughout to bring out the best of its original features, including elaborate gilt-edged mirrors and stucco ceiling moldings. Cube furnishings in dark leather or red velvet bring it roaring into the 21st century. The bar is split between the reception lounge, where a pianist plays each evening, and the comfortable restaurant. In the guest rooms, duvets billow over bed frames in some of the cushier rooms and suites.

PROS

  • near the train station and close to the center of town
  • oversized terrace great for people-watching
  • pillow menu to choose the ones you like best

CONS

  • glazed windows reduce noise from the trams outside, but sometimes not enough
  • service could sometimes be friendlier
  • standard rooms on the small side
