What makes the hotel special
Rochat lies in a quiet corner of the Old Town on Petersgraben, just two minutes from the centre. GayOut lists it as gay-friendly and popular with gay guests – a good sign in Basel, where there are hardly any dedicated scene hotels. The hotel is low-key, well kept and personally run. The Messe and the Rhine are also easy to reach.
Rooms and amenities
The 55 rooms have air conditioning, Wi-Fi, TV and minibar; the hotel is non-smoking and has a lift. A plus for Basel: its own parking right at the hotel. Guests praise the quiet location and the friendly staff. The furnishings are rather plain and functional, and Basel prices are generally high.
A good fit if you …
- want to stay quietly in the Old Town
- are looking for a hotel popular with gay guests
- are arriving by car
Not ideal if you …
- expect design-hotel flair
- are looking for a true budget room
