Although staying in the Old Town has obvious attractions – and there are a couple of inexpensive hotels to oblige – Kleinbasel, with its easygoing, everyday atmosphere, is by no means a second best. Atmospheric Rheingasse, one street back from the river, is lined with hotels and bars. Hecht am Rhein Plain, unfussy “garni” place, with some pricier rooms overlooking the river and both en-suite and shared-bath options. Rheingasse 8 Phone : ++41 061/691 22 20 Fax : ++41 061/681 07 88 Klingental Over in Kleinbasel, newly renovated shared-bath “garni” rooms above a cosy restaurant. Klingental 20 Phone : ++41 061/681 62 48 Fax : ++41 061/681 97 26 Rochat Centrally placed beside the Peterskirche, with pleasant, if generic, rooms and a modestly cosy atmosphere. Petersgraben 23 Phone : ++41 061/261 81 40 Fax : ++41 061/261 64 92 Stadthof Plain and simple, and bang on the main shopping drag. No en-suite rooms. Gerbergasse 84 Phone : ++41 061/261 87 11 Fax : ++41 061/261 25 84 Au Violon Once a convent, then a women’s prison, now beautifully renovated to offer comfortable, stylish rooms above a quiet Old Town courtyard. Service is faultless, and they offer discounts for entry to the nearby Bird’s Eye Jazz Club.
