Grand Hotel LES TROIS ROIS
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Book it if you want the top-rated five-star address in Basel's Old Town and the price is not the deciding factor. Skip it if you mainly need a comfortable bed near the centre, because our other two Basel picks cost a fraction of this.

This is our Luxury pick for Basel. It fits couples on a special trip, business travellers with a generous budget and anyone who wants a classic five-star hotel within walking distance of the Old Town sights. Families can consider it too, because family rooms are listed.
Pets are listed as accepted. The conditions and any fee are not confirmed, so ask the hotel before you travel with an animal.
Skip it if value for money is your main test. Guests who loved their stay still say room rates and extras such as breakfast are expensive. If you only plan to sleep here between museum visits, the gap to our other picks is hard to justify.
Location and getting around
The address is Blumenrain 8, in Old Town Grossbasel. Guests give the location 9.7 out of 10, which is higher than the overall score.
The Kunstmuseum Basel is about 0.9 km away, roughly 11 minutes on foot. St. Jakob-Park is 3.2 km away, around 40 minutes walking, so for a match or a concert you will want public transport or a taxi. Augusta Raurica sits 10.5 km out, more than two hours on foot, which makes it a trip by public transport or car.
These walking times are straight-line estimates, not checked on the ground.
What guests say
The score is 9.2 out of 10 from 312 reviews. That was joint first among the 7 eligible properties in the sample we compared.
Staff come up most often. Reviewers describe a professional, attentive team that is helpful and friendly. Breakfast is the other strong point: guests call the buffet extensive and tasty, and several mention eating it with river views.
The main complaint is cost. People accept the high standard but feel that the rooms and the extras, breakfast included, are priced high. Room size, noise levels and the condition of the rooms have not been assessed by us.
Price compared with our other Basel picks
The reference price was €806.65 a night, about €1,613 for two nights. That is the price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults in one room. It is not a live quote, so check today's price for your own dates.
For comparison, the sample median in Basel was €199.47 a night. Our Budget pick, Novotel Basel City, came in at €151.82 a night with a score of 8.6. Our Best Value pick, Mövenpick Hotel Basel, was €211.11 a night and scored 9.0. Both are four-star hotels.
So you pay roughly four times the Best Value price for a 0.2 point higher score, five stars, a spa and the Old Town address. Whether that is worth it depends on how much the hotel itself is part of the trip.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 7 eligible hotels in Basel. For the Luxury slot we give priority to official five-star hotels, and this one is rated five stars and had the joint highest guest score in the sample.
The listed facilities fit the category: a spa and wellness centre, a fitness centre, a restaurant, a terrace and air conditioning. The breakfast type is listed as buffet.
Before you book
Check whether breakfast is included in your rate, since guests point out that it adds noticeably to the bill. Confirm the cancellation terms, spa opening hours and any fees for spa use.
If you travel with a pet, ask about rules and charges in writing. If a river-facing room matters to you, ask for it directly, because room views are not confirmed in our data.
