Absolutely loved staying at the Nomad! Beautiful design, comfortable rooms, super helpful staff (they helped me find a power adaptor because I forgot mine.) I ordered room service one night and it was perfection. Also, the floor I was on had a tap for still or sparkling water in the hallway, along with free coffee, tea, and some fruit. Those little touches are so nice after a long day of travel.

The breakfast was good, doesn’t have typical British breakfast items for English travellers.

The bar was great for the evenings and had fantastic staff all round.

The location is great and is 10 mins from the centre of Basel, I would definitely recommend staying here.

Initial room adjacent to elevator, which was very noisy - relocated us to much better room, w/o too much haggling. Room spacious, & clean. Great Workout/ Sauna areas. Abit noisy at night but fine for one night.
Parking and room tax issue at end of stay. I informed them to put on room card. Did not happen and they keep sending me emails to pay- grr.

Nice hotel in Basel

Nice hotel close to the city centre, main station and tram stop. Nice gym and a private sauna you can book which was great.
Free fruit on each floor with still and sparking water taps, Nespresso coffee and tea.

Breakfast seemed quite pricey so we just ate the free fruit and bought some stuff in the supermarket around the corner. One thing, the toilet had a kinda funny door and you have a gap when it is closed to it is not super sound proof.

Everything was excellent except the AC!!

Being a foreigner in Switzerland, I would have liked the TV to be really able to show subtitles. That was nearly impossible to do.
The room was wonderfully located and very decently sized. The AC unit in the room was only adequate, and given the unusual heat at that time, an AC unit which could be adjusted would have been preferred. However, I did love the idea of getting away from the hyper-expensive AC systems as an idea.

The hotel completely exceeded my expectations. The room was super modern and stylish (I loved the design details), and little touches like a refillable water bottle and a Dyson air purifier really stood out. The location is also spot on: an easy walk from the train station and close to all the main sights and great restaurants. I’m not sure what anyone could dislike, though to be fair, I was only there for one night… maybe not long enough to find any flaws! 😄 Would definitely stay again.

Stayed in this hotel for 3 nights. The staff are all very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The room was cosy with a cool fit out and interesting items. We did have noise problems being next to the lift and the restaurant/bar playing loud music under us until late. The staff did an amazing job relocating us to a quieter room (even when it was fully booked out) and made sure we were happy.

At our check in Mika was very helpful pointing out areas in Basel to visit. The hotel is close to the tram service which is also complimentary . We used it a couple of times to explore. Hotel is close to Starbucks and restaurants that are very walkable. I felt I made a very good choice with this hotel.

Wonderful hotel. The room has lots of great storage spots and despite booking the one person room, I was impressed with the fact it fitted a small table and padded bench. Staff were also lovely and the property has a wonderful, lively atmosphere. They were also able to support my late night (flight delayed) check in by leaving my doorcard in a little lockable safe outside the entrance. Amazing.
Only minus points were hearing a low rumble of the tram every now and again, as well as hearing the neighbouring room one night. Regardless of this, I would definitely stay again and recommend this hotel to others visiting Basel.

Good Hotel. Just not in the Summer months.

Nice new hotel on a quite street, near the river and walkable to the train station. Busy street around the corner - markets and restaurants galore. (But very sleepy on a Sunday - as is much of Switzerland). Top floor rooms have a nice deck and those deluxe rooms are worth the extra price. Coffee makers down the hall, with fresh fruit offered. Bar downstairs is very pricey. NOTE: I am very certain that the Nomad listed Air Conditioning as an amenity when I booked. (I always check). The listing has changed. And to be clear, the Nomad does not have Air Con. We were there when the car said it was 37.5 (99.5 F) when we pulled up. It was not welcomed to have such a hot room.

The property was a strange, quite unfinished and very much resembled a nuclear bunker. In the front tower, the beds have legs that angle outwards from the bed. I can't tell you how many times over a 2 day period that I stubbed my toes on the protruding bed legs, but it was far more than 10.

Umbrellas for use (needed on last night), sparkling water and apples handy on floor stations. Ample room, had friend come join one night and even with a roll-out bed plenty of space! Would definitely stay again! Don’t order cab from hotel unless you don’t mind paying double. Our driver was so kind and funny though, was worth it! (just did away with Francs the night before except for 60 for a cab and it cost $77...had to dig for euros) feel awful because I forgot to tip housekeeping! Such good service especially when visiting between France hotel which upon returning, made me wish I’d stayed at Nomad longer. You won’t regret this hotel. If you like whiskey, try the Laugavulin.
