Aargau-Basel Region, Switzerland hotel rooms at the Independent

"Had a great stay! Hotel was great location and staff very helpful and friendly! The continental breakfast was also very good ! Would come again !"

"Staff were brilliant, really helpful."

"Our room was clean and spacious. We had just left a river cruise ship, and the seating area was so welcome. Attentive and helpful staff were a bonus. Highly recommended "

"It’s the first time I’ve visited the hotel, it’s in a good location, very clean and the staff were very friendly. The breakfast was very good, everything was topped up when getting low….!"

"The hotel was clean, spacious and comfortable. I would have preferred the bed to have had a thinner duvet as the room was hot and it was too noisy too sleep with the window open. There were tea making facilities in the room and the receptionists were happy to supply extra tea bags when asked. The hotel is 2 minutes away from bus stops to and from the main station, and near a major landmark so it's easy to find. It's also within walking distance of the shopping centre and tourist spots. There was a varied selection of food for breakfast and always fresh fruit in reception to provide an evening snack."

"Clean, central and easy to get to Christmas markets. Transport links are great. Breakfast was amazing!"

"Location was great! It was close to everything we needed and wanted to see. The staff were welcoming when we arrived, helpful storing our luggage and calling a taxi when we were ready to leave. The food was good and the breakfast buffet was excellent. "

"Excellent check in, quick stroll to city center and Christmas markets. City is hilly so there are stairs! Hotel has charming gnome garden, and places to sit, with blankets if it’s chilly. Nice breakfast buffet. Staff was lovely."

"We enjoyed our stay especially the clean rooms and wonderful breakfast buffet. It was a convenient place to stay before we departed on a river cruise from Basel. The staff was very friendly and didn’t mind speaking English. The casino was a fun distraction and there was an ATM machine that made it easy to get cash before embarking on our cruise. Unfortunately, the hotel’s shuttle was not available when we arrived at the airport even after calling two days in advance and calling again from the airport as we were instructed by the hotel. The taxi fare for the short ride from the airport to the hotel was very expensive given the distance of only 4.2 km / 2.6 mi."
