Review summary

Powered by AI
Hyperion Hotel Basel enjoys a convenient location, with easy access to the city center via nearby tram stops, making it easy to explore. Guests generally find the rooms to be a good size, modern, and clean, often mentioning the comfortable beds, well-equipped facilities, and minibar. While the hotel is appreciated for its practicality and proximity to the exhibition hall and congress center, some guests have noted that the decor in certain areas lacks warmth. Many guests have enjoyed nice city views from the rooms and have found the value to be quite good relative to other hotels in the area; some have also used and appreciated the on-site gym with its modern equipment.

Decent Hotel, but Some Issues

poor cleaningexpensive breakfast
I had a few issues . The room was not cleaned properly one day (I even requested it!). The lack of attention to detail was disappointing, especially for a hotel of this category (I'm used to hotels to clean on a daily basis). I found the breakfast to be quite expensive for the variety of options available.

The hotel features modern architecture. There are solar panels installed, supporting eco-friendly practices, ALTHOUGH some may consider the building a stark contrast to its surroundings. Access to the bar was quite good.
Service

Morning buffet staff displayed super good service. One receptionist named Maria Martin was helpful, she was very knowledgeable. The room cleaners were also quite thorough. I appreciated their attention to detail.
