The room was large and clean. The staff were super helpful and friendly. The breakfast buffet was delicious. The best part, however, was the hotel’s location right across from the train station. We totally enjoyed our stay.

Room was well prepared, staff were excellent, and the breakfast was terrific! Was a little reluctant to stay at a hotel so near to the central station, but it was quiet and very convenient. Will stay here again when my travels take me to Basel.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Gaia Hotel. It was just steps away from the train station which made it so easy after a long overnight journey from the US. Our room was ready ahead of time and everyone we met that worked for the hotel was nice and extremely helpful. The breakfast was outstanding and was great even for us as vegans. I’d definitely stay here again
