The Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois

At this point in my life, I travel extensively for pleasure (for many years it was for business as well). The Hotel Les Trois Rois was one of the most extraordinary hotel experiences I’ve had in my lifetime, and I’ve stayed in hundreds of hotels. Every last detail had been anticipated and executed to the finest degree. This is absolutely the best hotel choice you can make in Basel. Multiple locals commented to us that we were staying in the finest hotel offered. Book immediately, you will not be detained.

We were staying in Hotel Marthof, very close to it. During our Old Town walking tour, our local guide brought us here with the permission of reception staff. This newly rebuilt hotel opened in 2006. It was a huge and luxurious hotel. It is located on the left banks of Rhine River with amazing view. Almost all important destinations of Old town are within walking distance.

Second time at this hotel and this time it was very busy due to music festival. Lots of cabs waiting outside hotel to catch a glimpse of bands. As a solo traveller I was asked a few times what I was doing in reception- I was waiting for uber! It felt a little rude. Also the breakfast service was not as good as last time, a few errors in my order and space felt cramped and service rushed. But the hotel is beautiful, I think they were literally too full!

If this is a five star hotel, it should receive six! The staff, all of them were extremely friendly, most attentive and very professional! The location of this luxurious hotel is fantastic. Whoever was in charge of the decorating of the bar - it is unforgettable! The meals were excellent and the rooms were beautiful and we loved the heated bathroom floors. One night when we went out for dinner, I left my nightgown on the bed when and our rain coats were placed over the back of a chair. When we returned, my sleep shirt was arranged on the bed in the cutest fashion and our rain coats were hung on the doors. It's rare that I write a review but this hotel definitely needs to be recognized as one of the best!!

On the offchance we went to Les Trois Rois in Basel for a break during the visit of some friends and the welcome was outstanding. We were ushered to a wonderful spot in the lounge and ordered coffees/teas (a superb selection) and something sweet to revive us on a wet afternoon. The service was excellent and we all enjoyed this break from the weather outside at a very reasonable cost. Our thanks to everyone.
