Pros:

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.

Little gem close to train station
Pros:

Loved our stay here. Checkin was easy and quick. Staff were all nice and very helpful nothing was an issue. Especially Soraya and Caio, but everyone we dealt with were great. Soraya checked us in and gave us lots of information. Loved the Basel pass to get free trams and 1/2 price to many attractions. Room 340 was nice had a bath tub, the glass tiles on the bathroom ceiling was strange but just go with it. Room was big enough bed was comfortable , pillows too soft but they had a pillow menu so we quickly change. minibar came with the room but the drinks are all organic and tasted terrible lol. Not my kind of minibar. Breakfast room is beautiful and breakfast is organic as well however would have like already sliced bread as i dont cut bread very well lol. Still had plenty of choices for everyone. We stayed 2 nights and left our bags while we went down to lucerne for a night and then came back and checked back in for another night and holding all our bags no issue even put them up in our room for when we return. Nothing was a issue. Well done to everyone at Gaia Hotel. Only negative would be the trams can be a bit noisy.

Wonderful hotel, conveniently located across from train station, lovely owner. She saw our interest in her art collection and showed us around and gave us back stories. Rooms could use a bit of upgrade but that is not a deterrent for staying there.
