Basel hotellit lähellä Barfüsserplatz

Plussat: Your people were terrific. We had an issue with lost luggage and our language inadequacy. Your front desk (Celia, Cecile and Miriam) resolved our problem.

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: The staff were so helpful and friendly and with the ability to use the travel pass provided by the hotel to use the buses and trams, it was perfectly placed. This is the 2nd time I have stayed at the Spalentor and I will definitely return there.

Plussat: Bag left from previous stay already in room. Best breakfast. Awesome staff.

Miinukset: n/a

Plussat: This is an excellent little hotel: the bed was comfortable, the room was a good size, everything worked, it was clean, the breakfast was fine, the staff were helpful and friendly and the location was great. What more could one want?

Miinukset: Nothing. If there were any problems with the hotel, we missed them.

Plussat: I liked the location of the hotel, which was very near to a tram station, near the heart of Basel, yet very quite and airy. Reception was great and the lobby facilities were excellent including a pool table and fitness room.

Miinukset: Spalentor had very thin walls, people talking in neighboring rooms and hallway were very well heard, that was not an issue but should be mentioned. What I really didn't like was the comfort level of the room beds and pillows, as a heavy-built man (not in any extra-ordinary way however) I need and expect hotel beds to provide enough support and firmness for a good night's sleep, that was not the case here.

Plussat: Location and staff. And they gave us a fantastic room!

Miinukset: Is a bit noisy, both front and back

Plussat: Nice large room. Very comfortable bed. Excellent breakfast. Great location. Included Tram day passes, but most sites were walkable. Convenient to riverboat docks.

Miinukset: It was noisy at night if the window was open, but quiet with it shut.

Plussat: Breakfast was excellent with good range of hot and cold food.

Plussat: Location and Great personal

Miinukset: It was under construction and we didn’t know it in advance

Plussat: The beautiful garden where you could have coffee in the morning & wine in the afternoon. Rooms were quiet and comfortable.

Miinukset: Walk to city center might be a little long for some people, however, the tram is just across the street from the hotel. The tram is free when you stay at Hotel Spalentor.

Plussat: A comfortable, clean hotel, in a good position, with pleasant staff. The upgrade was much appreciated.

Plussat: Good location to reach the old centre on foot Decent room Airco Breakfast was good Private parking nearby

Miinukset: Rooms 107 and 108 - Pee on toilet wall! - Dirty weigh scale and floor in bathroom - Dust - Dirty desk (glas circles/ water stains/ fingerprints) - Hair in bed! And this is just the dirt visible to the naked eye. Imagine how unhygienic these rooms are. - Heavy blankets in hot summer 38 degrees - Extra big bed = 2 beds that move apart on the slightest touch Also I could literally follow the conversation in the bathroom next door, so very thin walls. On making remarks about the filthy room at the desk the same night (in a nice way), the girl said she would make a note. She did not offer to solve or anything else and made no excuse. I was speechless. Left unsatisfied, the next morning I tried again, nicely but more firm, with a different girl. She only said 'oh sorry' and that she would tell the cleaning ladies. Speechless again. Any other 4 star hotel would have offered sincere apologies, another room, to send someone to clean, something on the house or a bit of discount. It's the principle that counts. Now you can add this bad review to the rest of your bad reviews. And for the record: 99% of my reviews are super positive. Not worth €130 per room/ per night Not worth 4☆ (yes, I know cleanliness has nothing to do with the star rating, but it should!)

Plussat: The breakfast was good. We arrived toward the end of the breakfast time range, and some items were not refilled in the buffet. The service was very good.

Miinukset: We arrived late (about 9 pm or 21:00) due to a rescheduled flight from Warsaw. The outdoor temperature was very hot, and our room was only cooled with a small desk fan. We found a thermostat (?) displaying A/C; however, the room temp. did not cool. We also found labels on the windows which stated the A/C would work if the windows were closed; that did not happen. We were too tired to complain, had to meet our cruise boat the next day, so we paid & left. After a second email to GAIA, Ms.Staubli did respond but denied our request for a refund.

Plussat: The breakfast & the servers.same

Miinukset: Location where is the train station w/ construction going on.reasonably priced

Plussat: Extremely clean , centrally, very cozy and the staff it’s also very friendly.

Plussat: Very well placed

Plussat: Gaia Hotel is very elegant and well decorated. It is almost directly across from the train station. Two wonderful restaurants are just a half a block out the door to the right. An all you can eat pizza place is a half a block to the left. A McDonald's is next door and a grocery store is two doors down. The hotel rooms have a nice mini bar. The hotel breakfast is delicious! The give you a metro card for travel upon check-in. The tram station is a half blockk away. I highly recommend Gaia Hotel!

Miinukset: I have nothing negative to say. The experience was as good as it can get!

Plussat: Location was fantastic, the room was very clean, and the daily breakfast was delicious.

Plussat: From check-in to leaving, an excellent experience. Hotel is literally across the street from the train station. It's a nice walk to the old town area and the river. And a quick trolly ride back with the included free town pass. Room was large and well equipped. Bath was spotless, well-equipped and with large walk-in shower. Included breakfast was delicious and offered good variety served in beautiful dining room.

Miinukset: Nothing. This hotel was great.

Plussat: Breakfast, location, comfort, and eco-focus

Plussat: Nice boutique hotel with great location.

Miinukset: No restaurant and property furnishings are dated and worn out (curtains, floors, colors, etc).

Plussat: The staff was very friendly

Miinukset: The upstairs of our room was incredibly hot. Too hot to sleep or spend any time. We turned the AC on full blast but it just works on the downstairs.

Plussat: It was truly amazing and such a wonderful hotel. Everything was fantastic from the room, the food and the amazingly helpful and kind staff

Miinukset: Nothing I will stay here the next time I am in the area

Plussat: The staff were incredible. A group of us took a river cruise together. Only 4 of us (2 rooms) were staying at the hotel with others departing at various times during the day. The hotel staff stored the luggage onsite for us. This was so helpful and incredible service. We appreciated it so much. This hotel went above and beyond.

Plussat: Spotless

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Great spot for exploring Basel. The outdoor restaurant was obviously popular, but we only had a drink there. The breakfast was fantastic.

Miinukset: Bath gel but no bar of soap in the bathroom. Never saw any indication of a health club, but I jogged along the river, so it was fine.

Plussat: We stayed here after taking a river cruise, and we arrived very early to drop our luggage and walk the area. This was accomplished in a quick, friendly and efficient manner. Off we went to explore the Rathaus (very close) and then more of the local sights. Back to the hotel to get settled and ready for dinner. We had room 420 which was well situated and quiet and large. The room had a refrigerator and a safe. Bath towels are body towel size. One thing about the hallways: there are intermittent stairs (just 3 or 4 only in some areas) so if it’s hard for you to move your luggage, they are happy to do this for you. Ice is available and it's free. It is delivered to your room, so a small tip is a good idea. We ate at Brasserie Steiger which is connected enough to the hotel to charge dinner to your room. It was very good - good wine and meal selection. We figured this was our best option as the other restaurants in the area were doing Cordon Bleu 6-10 different ways, at varying prices. So in this instance, the easy choice was the best for us. The next day we were off by train to Chur and they arranged a taxi that arrived at the exact time we requested. We enjoyed everything about this place and if I ever return to Basel, I will stay here.

Plussat: Older building with charm and modern amenities. Hot shower with great water pressure. Comfortable bed and convenient to the old town and the tram for connection to the SBB for travel almost anywhere in Europe.

Miinukset: A/C works but is not up to US standards. It’s in the 90s now and the room A/C struggles to get belo 80. Better than many places I’ve stayed in Europe but....

Plussat: I was in Basel for a conference which was held at the Basel University. The location of your hotel was perfect for attending this event which was a short 10 minute walk up the hill. Getting to your hotel was easy using public transport from the Airport and Swiss Bahnhof. There weren't too many cobbled roads to drag wheeled suitcases to get to the hotel.

Plussat: Very clean. Great staff. And great location

Plussat: The bed was comfortable the room was pleasant. Staff wonderful, the location was the BEST! So appreciated the free tram/50% off ticket received at check-in. It made our Basel trip so much more enjoyable. Lovely hotel I will remember and recommend to everyone! Thank You.

Miinukset: Nothing that I disliked.

Plussat: The breakfast was very good and offered a very nice selection of food.

Plussat: The location could not be better or more central.

Plussat: Staff was very friendly and terrace was accessible until late.

Plussat: The hotel staff were exceptional and couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. Thank you!! The room was clean and had everything we needed. We loved that there was a play room for kids, and a beautiful garden where one could just sit and relax.

Plussat: Aamiainen on tosi hyvä ja monipuolinen. Kannattaa sisällyttää se huonehintaan, kun se erikseen on 20 frangia. Varsinkin vastapuristettu appelsiinimehu on todella hyvää. Ja aamiaista tarjoileva Santi on aina hymyilevä ja ystävällinen. mahtava persoona. Henkilökunta muutenkin huippuluokkaa. Huoneessa on hyvä, iso televisio, kahvinkeittovälineet, iso sateenvarjo lainattavaksi ja ihan ilmainen minibaari. Kaikkia ei jaksa edes juoda. Hotellista saa Basel Cardin koko ajaksi, joten liikkuminen on ilmaista ja nähtävyydet usein puoleen hintaan, kuten kiva eläintarha vain 10 frangilla. Hotellivaraus sisältää ilmaisen raitiovaunuyhteyden asemalta. Ota sieltä joko 1 tai 2 ja jää pois Wettsteinplatzilla, jonka vieressä hotelli on. Hotellin aulassa on hyvä aikataulunäyttö sen pysäkin busseihin ja raitiovaunuihin. Tänne oli kiva tulla toistamiseen.

Miinukset: Hieman korkeat tyynyt ainakin minulle.

Plussat: The breakfasts were fantastic!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The gym.

Miinukset: The room was way too hot.

Plussat: Easy walking distance of the river and tram stop. Our room at the back was quiet. Good breakfast. Excellent restaurant 400 yds along the road.

Plussat: Fantastic breakfast, beautiful backyard

Miinukset: No air-con, too hot in summer

Plussat: The food was very good. We were disappointed to not be able to dine in the garden due to the rain.

Miinukset: Due to the hot weather prior to our arrival, the room was very hot when we checked in. When we were going to breakfast the next morning we noticed that the room next door was much cooler since the window had been fully opened and aired out. We tried opening the window more fully and redirecting the fan, but it would have been better if that had been done prior to our checking into the room.

Plussat: The hotel was beautiful. The personnel was very helpful and nice. There was always somebody at the reception. The gym facilities were very nice. I liked to have a minibar with free beverages every day. The bed was very comfortable and the room was big, super clean and quiet. I was in a congress at the Congress Center and this hotel was an 8-minute walk from there, which made it quite convenient to come and go several times a day. There is also a tram stop around 50 meters away from the hotel and this tram takes you to the train station.

Miinukset: There was no air conditioning in the room and I had problems to sleep for 2 nights because there was a heatwave in the country, which made the nights to be around 30 Celcius degrees. On the last night, I was told that they had refrigerated mattresses' covers they could give me right before going to bed, but actually, the one I got was not cold at all so it didn't even help.

Plussat: The breakfast garden area and the location was good.

Miinukset: No air con in the heat even though we did have a fan

Plussat: Furnature and decoration

Miinukset: No free Parking No Air Condition High Price

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Location was important for us we didn’t have a car. Also enjoyed not having to buy tickets for transportation around city.

Miinukset: Nothing it meet with all my expectations for a lovely stay.

Plussat: Convenient, central, functional. supportive staff, well connected, good breakfast

Plussat: Near the train station which was great. Traveling card food public transport included, make things easier. Friendly staff. Bowl of apples in the hote late at night when nothing's open.

Miinukset: Noise in the room! It seemed to come from the ventilation system, which made a pretty loud noise like every 5 mins. I turned the ac off, but the noise still came! Staff was very helpful and just gave me a new room right away, far away from the other room. However, the very same noice was in the new room! But in that room not as loud, so with ear plugs I could sleep and not be disturbed. Breakfast- very few non animal options! If you're a vegan you get to eat bread with jam and fruits. No soy milk for coffee or cereals.

Plussat: Nukuin hyvin

Miinukset: Aamiaishuone ahdas, leivät menivät vähiin, vihreää teetä ei ollut eikä saanut 1. päivänä, toisena aamuna sitä löytyi pyytelyn jälkeen

Plussat: Price, location, room was clean, bed comfortable

Miinukset: Receptionist who checked me out and the lady at the breakfast were not friendly. The breakfast variety was poor

Plussat: Very nice hotel, conveniently close to Basel Main train station with very friendly and helpful staff

Miinukset: all was fine

Plussat: The breakfast was excellent and the bedding was very comfortable. We also enjoyed Swiss cleanliness throughout. The room was very quiet. Did I mention the feather pillows?

Miinukset: We asked for a black tea-bag for the room (there were herbal affairs available but I'm British and it was tea-time). We were told it was not available in the rooms and were told to go and order it in the bar!! I made do with a coffee.

Plussat: Breakfast not included and too expensive in hotel - other options nearby. Staff generally was very helpful. City travel card quite useful for getting around!

Miinukset: Took a long time to check in - more than 25 min (& we just wanted to leave our bags)

Plussat: Sänky oli todella hyvä. Henkilökunta erittäin ystävällistä. Hotellista sai ilmaiset raitiovaunuliput ja sateenvarjon lainaksi. Sijainti erinomainen.

Plussat: The location is close to the excellent transit system in Basel.

Miinukset: Electrical outlets in Switzerland tend to be difficult to use without a special adaptor.
