Great place for a very expensive drink on the terrace over the river! The food served at the Brasserie is also excellent. Impeccable service and style combined in a polite and welcoming atmosphere. Well worth a visit when you want to treat yourself or someone special.

On recommendation from friends back home, we took the bite and stepped in for a look. Luv’d the chandelier in the lobby. The classic bar with dark wood interior was a huge plus. Had drinks in the lounge area before the crowd rushed in. Glad we checked it out.

We stayed at the Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois for 1 night prior to our riverboat cruise. The hotel is brilliantly decorated for Christmas. The staff was over the top in every way. Our room was fantastic with a gorgeous view of the river. Would like to give a special shout out to concierge Lena Naaf. She was OUTSTANDING in helping us get our lost piece of luggage. When we had a struggle talking with an uncooperative Air France representative Lena was quickly able and willing to speak to them and direct them for delivery of our bag. When it was delivered to the hotel after we checked out, Lena messaged us to let us know it was on its way in a taxi. She even sent a photo of the taxi. Loved our stay, excellence in customer service and beauty of this hotel.

We visited Basel to board a Rhine river cruise. The cruise line suggested an ordinary hotel elsewhere in town, and we were having none of it. Les Trois Rois turned out to be a highlight of our trip and certainly the best thing about Basel. It's like stepping back in time to the days of the grand tour of Europe in all the best ways - phenomenal and personal service, large rooms and bathrooms, great food. I'll long remember even just the details of the building - fine woods, heavy doorknobs, amazing shower pressure, marble and silk and more. We booked a room without a view but had plenty of opportunities to enjoy the view from the public areas.

What an INCREDIBLE property!! we stayed here for 5 nights while visiting Basel before a river cruise. I booked the hotel based on reviews and the staff did not disappoint. from check in through our departure everything exceeded our expectation. the check in staff was most helpful and made us feel welcome from the start. they are there everyday and smile and greet you. the concierge team did a great job of helping us navigate Basel and enjoy our stay. from restaurants to activities they were most helpful!!! we really enjoyed the bar/lounge area. from our first visit the team made us feel at home and we enjoyed drinks and or meals on the veranda every day - it became a ritual for us. the view of the Rhine river is excellent and the drinks are even better. Try the fancy or crazy old fashioned. to die for . . . the wine list and drink offering is exceptional . I had one of the best mojitos ever!!! also you can dine al fresco and the offering has something for everyone. the beef carpaccio was exceptional!! Breakfast is generally included in the rate and is offered in the restaurant every morning - and it is delightful!! the cheeses were exceptional!! There is no question - next time we visit Basel we will stay at Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois!!!!! thanks to the entire team!!!!!

Fantastic experience at the Brasserie and at the Bar. It's a pity that some of your employees, in this particular case a Mr. Unger, a very professional, handsome young and tall man is wearing such a rundown Jacket. Hideous outfits your employees got to wear to be honest. Such a great hotel and its people working there should be dressed properly always and NOT be allowed to present themselves to guests looking like that. Just an observation!

Wow, what can I say from Victor, at the front door receiving us, and Ana at the reception, to the housekeeper, we never saw, but everything was always clean and perfect. The Hotel is beautiful, the employees made it an exceptional stay. There is a three star Michelin restaurant on the premises, by chef Peter Knogl, which was excellent. This is one of the best places and experiences we’ve had to date!

This may have been one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in more than 25 years of regular travel to Europe. The location, the style, the staff, the ambiance, everything! The Concierge, Lena, was most helpful with many of our needs. The lobby, bar and sitting area and hotel are beautiful.
