I stayed here in Sept. 2021:

Great location and to this date the best hotel staff I have ever encountered.

We stayed in the Hotel Krafft, on the opposite side of the river from the Old Town. We had a riverview room with a massive balcony and of course being on the opposite side, meant we had amazing views of the Cathedral and the town at night. Absolutely beautiful.
It was a two minute walk over the bridge to town, or there was a tram. Like in a lot of Switzerland, we were given the Basel card so trams were free.

Same question for August. It looks like Hotel Schweizerhof is right next to the train station, was that a problem?

Not a problem at all. It’s not right next to the train station. You do have to walk past a couple of hotels. And the tram stop is out front of the hotel. This is what makes the hotel super convenient. Absolutely no noise from anything outside.
