GAIA Hotel Basel - the sustainable hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We were warmly received at reception and our room was excellent. Breakfast was included and food was plentiful and of an exceptionally high standard. As we departed we were gifted with bottled water and a chocolate bar, a nice gesture. Sometimes you don’t want to share the secret of a great hotel with too many others but this was a top notch hotel, reasonably priced too. Thank you"
