GAIA Hotel Basel - the sustainable hotel

Great location handy to train and tram but it was the helpful staff that made this an amazing experience.

The initial room allocated was unsuitable as it had a sloping wall because of the roof line but the second room we were allocated was good and there was no danger of hitting my head on a sloping wall. The hotel is very close to the Basel railway station and the area around the station is safe. A pleasing feature of the stay is you get given a free Basil card which gives you free transportation on trams and busses in Basel as well as half price admission to museums

Staff friendly and very helpful. The room was very nice and the breakfast was great!

Great location, 1 min walk to Basel train station and very nice rooms, with excellent breakfast

The service was exceptional. All the staff were great and extremely helpful. We would recommend this hotel to anybody considering a stay in Basel.

WOW! Did not expect it but the reviews were accurate, this is a great hotel at a great price! We arrived in Basel a few days before our River Cruise. Had regular double room. The frig was stocked w/lemonade, apple juice beer and water, ALL COMPLIMENTARY! It was 92 degrees and the room was so nice and cool! Bed VERY comfy, and you get a scan code at checkin for half off on all museums and free trams (buses) which is super convenient considering the main station is steps from the hotel! Great city, old town is great, River has many nice restaurants. When we checked out and sat for a bit to kill time, we received cappuccinos and bottled water. Btw- PREPAY for BREAKFAST! It is SO worth it! Selection and service so good…(fresh squeezed juice, cheeses, eggs,….

It was a great location Friendly staff, clean, wonderful breakfast buffet

Great property. Convenient to shops/restaurants. Easy checkin process

The building is very nice, the room was spacious with two chairs and a desk. The TV has a lot of channels in English French Italian and German. The bed and linens were very nice and everything was very clean. The location is very convenient because it’s 50 yards across the street from the train station. There are trams going to all parts of the city and you can get to the historical district in five minutes. There’s also a bus to the airport that comes every eight minutes. All these transport options are free with a card provided by the hotel. In comparison, a taxi costs 50 CHF every 15 minutes. The only caveat is that the train station is not the nicest area in town.

We booked this hotel primarily due its proximity to the Railway station and Trams, as well as its positive reviews, which were not wrong. Excellent breakfast was included, the staff friendly and helpful, and lots of little extras(like bathrobes and slippers, even a complementary mini-bar) were in the room. Excellent value for money
