The best thing about the Gaia hotel was the staff. Everyone was universially friendly, professional and proactive. The breakfast was exceptionally good: a great variety; hot and cold options; a wide variety of organic and dairyfree choices. The hotel itself was spotlessly clean and the public rooms were attractive and well-apponted. My bedroom was spacious, up to date, had great bedding, good climate control and a lovely bathroom. There was a fridge with complimentary beverages as well as coffee and tea making amenities. The sauna was a unique and pleasurable addition. This hotel was an amazing value, especially if utilised with the Basel pass ( free local transport and 1/2 price museum tickets). I would highly recommend!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This property does not come close to deserving a 4 start status. To start, the picture is misleading--it is not located on some quaint block but instead in the middle of a busy intersection. It advertises parking is available--it is if you want to lug your luggage 5 blocks away to a public parking garage. The thermostat was not functioning so the room was extremely overheated. . The furniture is of lesser quality than IKEA. When we asked for an iron and ironing board we were told that we had to come use the public ironing board and iron on the first floor because it was unsafe for a hotel room to have an iron. The lobby looks like a youth hostile. This place was terrible.
