By far the BEST Thai restaurant in Basel!…read more Came across this hole in the wall place in not so nice part of Basel with photos of menu on the window. So I'd figure must be not so authentic place but I was wrong. WOW - great food and service. Highly recommend the fried rice (beef or seafood) and red curry. Big portions too. I went there almost every other night for dinner. Better than the Thai place near German railway station and joke Lily's (terrible tasting rip-off) on Claraplatz.

Hotel Bristol in Montbeliard was such a surprise when walking in. I expected it to cost bunches…read moreof euros more than it did. The tariff was approx 80 euros. Anyway..I have to get to best thing about this hotel...an indoor swimming pool !!! are you kdding????..and a really nice one !!!! ..so when I was told of this, I had to ask twice about he pool and had the lovely/accommodating/charming reception girl show me. This the main reason I am writing this review for a hotel. Upon viewing the indoor pool I decided on the spot to extend my stay in Montbeliard, VERY close to the AMAZING PEUGEOT MUSEUM..and host to the worlds CHRISTMAS MARKET. I must go experience this...supposedly there is nothing like it. NOT common in France, spacious rooms..but this hotel had large rooms with bathrooms you would have at the Four Seasons. The staffs treats everybody as though there were royalty....even an orange is deliverd on a beautiful plate on a doily. Any need/request is immediately addressed. As soon as you walk into this hotel, the color pallete and interior design makes it so inviting. Again, the French couldn't do enough for their guests. I am going to have to myth bust the bad rap that the French often get. After spending an extended length of time in this country...I have NOT one complaint. They are a sterling example of great hospitality and pleasing all visitors and doing everything to make them happy. See ya at Christmas time !!!

We got lucky and were allowed in without a reservation, and lucky we were. It raised the bar and…read moreour expectations immediatly, of course, when you're told that you need a reservation but the hostess was very accommodating and moved several tables to seat the three of us (my mother-in-law is along for this long Italian weekend trip -- we are going to surprise her eldest son and daughter-in-law for their 25th wedding anniversary). Long story short, yes, it was de-li-cio-so!!! Definitely go here if you are near Basel. Parking was on street and free at night. Show up without a reservation and try to get a table! They had an extensive vegetarian menu and all of it was amazing. I enjoyed the mushroom cannelloni, my husband had the pumpkin risotto, and my mother-in-law had a pleasantly spiced pumpkin soup. For desserts we each chose differently, and had bites from each other, but I was secretly very, very happy and pleased with my *plum tiramisu*!!! Very definitely recommend that, and any of the sorbets. They were creamy without using milk or cream. My husband had the pear sorbet which was very good. My mother-in-law tried the plum torte which came with a plum sorbet. A fresh mint tea to finish it off, cappuccino for the others. Highly recommend this restaurant.

I was here on business and would have preferred to stay at another hotel (next door or across the street) which are comparable in price, and those hotels are much nicer. At least there I get strong internet and am able to get work done. At Hotel Victoria, I checked the WIFI speed which was 0.30 Mbps upload speed, and 0.07 Mbps!!! Are you kidding me??? Horrible wifi. At the hotels across the street and next door, you'll feel more like you are at least getting your monies worth. I feel as if I overpaid for my stay at Hotel Victoria. I will not return here nor will I recommend this hotel, at least if you need internet service. Location.. right next to SBB Train Station. 2 Stars because rooms are a bit outdated, and WIFI service is horrible. Oh, and the street noise... don't bet on getting any rest there.

What a fantastic experience this grand hotel was - from check-in to check-out. We were here for a…read morespecial wedding anniversary and they treated us more like loving family than guests. To say the service was 5-stars would not be giving the whole picture. It was relaxed, charming elegance with many small kindnesses adding up to a very warm happy experience. And the food was other level. We were fortunate to dine at Cheval Blanc and it lived up to its lofty reputation. A definite "wow" experience. But the hotel cuisine at lunch and even breakfast was also top-level. There are windows into the kitchen in the hotel and you can watch the chefs (including renowned chef Knofl) hard at work performing their craft. All of this does not come inexpensively. This is a 5-star hotel and Cheval Blanc is a 3 star Michelin restaurant. So you will have to spend some money for the experience. But there are many expensive experiences that do not live up to expectations. This one does and, in fact, exceeds them. Note: this hotel is part of the Amex Grand Hotels program which provides a room upgrade if available and a 100 Swiss franc spending credit in the hotel.

The staff were very accommodating even providing us sandwiches when we had to get out early and miss breakfast! Big thank you to Saskia Strasser for all her help whenever we needed assistance!

This art hotel is charming, with good sized rooms and great service. One item that stood out was…read moreour check-out experience. Normally, breakfast comes with the room. However, we had to leave for the airport 5:30am, so instead of just forfeiting breakfast, they offered (without us asking) to instead do a lunch bag for us and made the effort to have someone have it ready at 5:25am, before their front desk opened (like many European hotels, their lobby isn't 24 hours). Also, we chose a ham and cheese sandwich. However, they didn't give us a ham and cheese. What they gave us each was: a ham and cheese sandwich filling a large baguette, an extra cheese sandwich baguette, 2 apples each, 2 nectarines each and a bottle of water. So they threw in quite a bit more than they had to. Did I mention they also provided us with two all-day tram passes for each day as part of the room? Also, free WiFi that was actually quite good in reliability and speed (which is not always the case in European hotel wifi). So, overall, a good experience. It is however necessary to prepare tourists -- particularly Americans -- for a few items: 1. There aren't elevators in one of the two buildings that make up the hotel (it's a historic building), and the stairs are spiral and a bit off-kilter. They do have a bellhop who will transport it up, but after quite a while in Europe we had a lot of bags, and we felt a bit bad about it, particularly as we heard the rather in-shape guy wheezing his way up for two trips. If you stay and have luggage, ask specifically for the building with the elevators. 2. They have a heater in the room, but not air conditioning. As Switzerland is not tropical, this probably isn't usually a problem. Our visit coincided with a bit of a heat wave. However, we did learn it can get a bit toasty during the height of summer even in Basel, so if staying in July or August this might be a consideration. When asked, they did bring up a floor fan to help keep us cool, however. Overall, I recommend this hotel as it is also near the heart of the city, and convenient to most of the shopping and sights.
