The location, the cleanliness and the presentation of the hotel is fantastic. But it really was brought to life by the staff, especially Daniel on reception, who went the extra mile for us at every turn. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The hotel is situated in the older part of the town. The location is very good. Not far from the transportation. It is an effort to walk up to the tram stop with the suitcase. The breakfast has a good selection for a hotel of this rating. The staff is very pleasant and helpful. My room bathroom door was not closing. Had to use strength to close it. No bath cloth. There are hand and bath towels. Overall, i recommend the hotel.

Motel One Basel was conveniently and centrally located. The hotel is next to Barfusserplatz, so check if there are any events in the plaza if you are concerned about noise and crowds. Staff were friendly and attentive. Breakfast was good and nice to have available. Basel hotels offer the "Basel card" which provides free local trams/bus travel and discounts on museums and other attractions. I appreciated the hotel bar which had a nice selection of gins. I would stay here again.

The location is in the heart of Basel. I requested and stayed on the floor with the balcony overlooking Barfusser Platz and recommend that. If you are traveling with a car and luggage, parking is not at the hotel. Breakfast is good with everything except, eggs/ bacon. The rooms are large and clean but have no other amenities like a fridge (accessible at front desk), safe...
