Very Good Featured review
Valter M.
10/10
The calm atmosphere and convenient location made getting around easy, with public transport and key attractions close by. Breakfast had a good selection and tasted great. The rooms were spotless, modern, and well equipped, with little touches that made them welcoming and relaxing. Service stayed friendly and professional throughout, from reception to the dining area. The staff were warm and attentive from the moment I arrived, and I felt well looked after. Essentials by Dorint Basel was a fantastic value for me, and I'd happily return or recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

10/10
A very good place to stay, in a quieter spot with easy access to the city. The regular bus near the hotel and trams around the corner made getting into the centre simple. There are bars and restaurants nearby, with more locals than in the city centre. The hotel was very clean, the staff welcoming and friendly, and the room was lovely. The pillows were a bit flat, but I didn't ask reception to sort them out, so I still gave it 5/5.

10/10
The room was small, but had all the comfort we needed. We also got a hotel ticket that let us travel into the city for free. The hotel was nice and clean, the staff friendly, and breakfast had an excellent, varied selection. We had a very pleasant stay.

We got lucky with this reservation. The hotel was close to downtown sights and shopping, and the parking garage was convenient and felt safe. Staff were friendly and helped us with directions for walking around town. The room had the things that mattered to us: clean, comfortable beds, crisp sheets, and extra pillows. It was easy to adjust the temperature, the plugs were thoughtfully placed, and the shower had hot water and a great shower head.

The staff were wonderful, with service good enough to earn this place its highest rating from me. Rooms are small unless you book one of the apartments.
