GAIA Hotel Basel - the sustainable hotel

GAIA Hotel Basel - the sustainable hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely unique hotel! Very clean, peacful, spacious. Staff was friendly. Breakfast included was plentiful and in a nice dining room. Location was great, near main train station and trams to popular areas. Only issue was confusion that the gym access was not included. Was apparently a partnership with the gym and had to pay later."
