In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
Euler's rooms span Standard through Suite, starting around $170 a night. Some are dressed in a classic style that can read as dated if you prefer contemporary design, but they're clean and the usable space is all there. Most come with a good-sized work desk that's genuinely usable for in-room work, and the Wi-Fi is fast and stable. Recent reviews score the room condition, cleanliness and service highly. The Superior and Deluxe categories are wider with better views — worth the step up if you want room to spread out.
Food and amenities
Breakfast is Euler's strong suit — a wide buffet with both warm and cold dishes, cheeses, cold cuts, several kinds of bread, fresh fruit and quality drinks, served in a clean, uncrowded dining room. The free Mobility Ticket handed to every guest covers all the city's buses and trams, including the run out to EuroAirport; if you're flying out from there, the ticket pays for your transfer on the spot. Wi-Fi is free and fast, the front desk is open 24 hours, and the concierge is happy to point you toward restaurants and things to do around town.
Location and getting there
It's a 1-2 minute walk to Basel SBB station and the tram stop parked out front, which makes Euler a strong base for anyone moving between cities. Restaurants, cafes and the Coop and Migros supermarkets sit within a 5-minute walk. The Kunstmuseum, Barfusserplatz and the Rhine riverside are all 10-15 minutes away by tram. For travelers planning day trips to nearby towns or hopping across the Swiss border, this location is about as convenient as it gets.
Things to know before booking
Rates climb sharply during Art Basel and other trade fairs, so if your dates overlap a major event, book well ahead. Some room categories still lean on an older classic look and won't feel as modern as a design or eco hotel nearby. And to be clear about what it is: this is a station-area business hotel, convenient and predictable rather than a quiet boutique full of character in every corner.
Our take
Euler suits business travelers and anyone who wants everything sorted near the station — the free Mobility Ticket and the strong breakfast are the real selling points, backed by professional staff and a genuinely good concierge. If you're after sharp contemporary design, look at Motel One or Teufelhof instead. But if service, location and a full set of perks are what you care about, Euler delivers at 8.9/10.

Insider Tips
- Use the free Mobility Ticket for the tram or bus to EuroAirport instead of paying for a transfer — it covers that run.
- Ask for a Superior or Deluxe room when you book; they're noticeably larger with better views than the Standard category.
- If your trip lands on Art Basel week or a trade fair, lock in your dates as early as possible — that's when rates spike the most.
