Close to the city centre and the bus from the train station drops you very close to the hotel. The hotel was clean and the breakfast was everything I could have wanted.

Kass “Fabulous 30th wedding anniversary made special by the staff at Essential hotel”
09 Mar 2025
It was our 30th wedding anniversary and we were made to feel very special. The staff took extra care for us making the room perfect, giving us a great view of the city and also a fresh fruit platter when we returned from our outing one afternoon. The bed is lovely and comfortable, with plenty of pillows. The tv is great and the minibar was a delight along with the coffee/tea maker. The bathroom and shower are excellent and spacious. Also, the breakfast was delicious and excellent options with so much choice. We also loved the idea of not having the room cleaned and being given a voucher for the bar. This is excellent service, and more hotels should follow this idea. The bar has great options at good prices and is lovely with a relaxed atmosphere. The staff are so friendly and courteous and keen to help you. We also appreciated the transport card as this made getting around so much easier as we came in and out by train, so the walk was quite a distance but not an issue with free transport. We would highly recommend Essential hotel.

The location is quite good with public transport directly to the train station or city centre. Room was very clean and beds comfortable. Breakfast is reach with very nice staff taking care everything is in order. Check in took a bit more time due to event in Basel. All in all I would recommend this hotel.
