Altes Vogtshaus Hotel Weil am Rhein

Review by hotel critic

As a travel writer with a passion for wellness retreats, I had the pleasure of staying at Altes Vogtshaus during my recent visit to the Vitra Design Museum. Nestled in a tranquil town just outside Basel, this 500-year-old building offers a unique mix of history and modern comfort that truly caught my attention. The spacious room was exceptionally clean, featuring a comfortable duvet and good towels, making for a pleasant stay. I appreciated the thoughtful amenities like tea and coffee facilities, as well as free Wi-Fi that kept me connected while I worked on my travel pieces. The in-house restaurant, though only open from Wednesday to Saturday, served an impressive selection of Rösti – a definite highlight. What stood out most was the hotel's value for money, especially when compared to pricier options inside Basel during the bustling Art Fair. The peaceful surroundings, complemented by the sounds of church bells and birds, added to the overall charm. Plus, the proximity to a large supermarket made it easy to stock up on essentials. If you’re seeking a blend of value and comfort for your travels, Altes Vogtshaus is worth considering.
