Cronache di Basel

Basel, Switzerland's third-largest city, was founded in the 6th century by the Romans as a fortified settlement. Over the centuries, the city's strategic location at the crossroads of Europe led to a rich architectural evolution, with influences from the Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque styles. Today, Basel is a cultural melting pot, boasting a vibrant art scene, renowned museums, and a thriving historic old town. The city's Riehentor Gate, built in the 14th century, stands as a testament to its rich history, while the iconic Basel Minster, a Gothic cathedral, dominates the city's skyline. Basel's unique blend of medieval and modern architecture makes it a fascinating destination for history buffs and art enthusiasts.

Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to Der Teufelhof Basel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Request a room on the higher floors (above 5) to minimize potential street noise from Leonhardsgraben. The hotel's 3-star rating suggests a mix of standard and comfortable rooms, but floor choice is more about noise than luxury.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms on the lower floors (1-3) as they might be closer to the street and the service entrance, potentially increasing noise levels.

🪟

Best views

Given the hotel's address, rooms on the higher floors (especially those facing north or west) might offer views of the nearby Basel's old town or the surrounding rooftops.

😴

Quietest floors

Floors 5 and above are likely the quietest, given the hotel's layout and the fact that the lift should be situated on a central floor.

🔊 Noise notes

Be prepared for potential noise from the street, especially during peak hours, given the hotel's location on a main street in Basel.

Insider tips

If you have a car, consider parking at the nearby public parking garage (Basel's public parking options are generally well-organized and convenient) to avoid the hassle of parking in the city center. If you're checking in early, consider visiting the nearby Marktplatz or the Basel Minster, both within a short walk, to get a feel for the city before dropping off your bags at the hotel.

How to request your preferred room:
  1. Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
  2. Add a note in your booking comments field
  3. Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
