This is a special hotel. Great attentive staff and facilities. Everything was first class, especially the restaurant and Concierge!
Exceptional facilities - lobby, restaurant, bar and rooms. Most gracious and accommodating staff. The breakfast is one of the best anywhere - no details are left undone.
Great experience and hotel. Perfect location; welcoming and professional staff. Beautiful property. One of the best in 25+ years of traveling to Europe
We loved everything about our stay. The rooms were very beautiful and comfy, and the staff was of the highest caliber. Excellent customer service.
We will definitely be back!
I can’t rave enough about this hotel.. it far beyond exceeded our expectations! The staff was excellent! The service was excellent! The concierge was excellent! We loved it so much every-time we tried to venture out, we wanted to go back! Because nothing compared to it . The food was empecable, the tea time service .. unmatched . We are very avid travelers and like to be pampered when we go on vacation . Of this is you! Stay here!!!! BTW the Japanese spa accommodations were excellent! I highly recommend this hotel to the pickiest of travelers.
I had very high expectations for Les Trois Rois and the staff exceeded such to include the single room (exceptional for "lower entry" class), the valet (top notch), reception, and concierge who was able to get me into the Chavel Blanc last minute. That 3 star michelin experience requires its own review. Do not miss a chance to stay there when in Basel. I will return each year from my plCe in the Swiss Alps.
This is a very classy & elegant hotel.The rooms are quite small, but extremely charming & very clean. We had a river view & it was exquisite!! The staff were mostly very pleasant & accommodating.
We really enjoyed the morning breakfast buffet with lots of healthy choices and local breads, pastries & fresh juices,
