HYPERION Hotel Basel

Great view across city, extensive breakfast and very modern room with mini bar included.

Very nice location. It was just next to the art Basel exhibition when we stayed.

While the location is really nice, I was disappointed by the fact that a refurbishment is highly needed... The use of synthetic fragrances is a bit too much. We had to ask for a change in rooms after we entered the initial room, so bad was the smell. We think that this may have been that the previous guests had smoked and they tried to hide it. Anyway, the receptionist could change and while the second room was not entirely without smell, it was much better. We spent 3 nights there as we always heard (from business travellers) that it was good. The hotel had certainly better days and it all looks really a bit shabby (furniture etc.) and the whole room is not practical (you always have to beware not bumping your head into something), there is not even a proper wardrobe...) really bizarrely done. Staff is ok but very scattered /confusing. So, no, we won't be back.
