Great place to stay

Great location next History Museum in old church of the barefooted monks , Barfusserstrassa and place. Also concert hall one building over. In middle of old town so wonderful walk anywhere. Breakfast was very good with farm fresh eggs just before hard boiled, European style. Room is smalll but functional. Bathroom very modern
Stanford, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I booked this hotel having stayed in another location previously and the service and standards remain high. Very clean and comfortable room, with a nice sized bathroom and shower. Great central location close to the main train station and trams/buses to other areas. Walkable to the river too, and with great food and drink locations around. Highly recommend.
Kirsty, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location. No drinks in room at all. Breakfast very limited, sitting area for breakfast where uncomfortable and more for relaxing than eating. Cocktails great and lots of good restaurants very close by Anataoli was excellent.

The staff at this hotel were great from check in to any questions we had and helping us get a taxi on departure. The rooms were nice and the chair in the room was the best

We had a great experience at Motel One Basel. Our room was clean and comfortable, quiet and cosy. The bar area downstairs was welcoming and the staff excellent. So convenient for the Christmas Markets and exploring the beautiful city of Basel.
Joanne, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The location of this hotel is great, right next to a tram stop. Snug quarters but it does the job.
Susan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location, friendly staff. Would recommend a few more tables and chairs for the breakfast service (lounge chairs are not great for eating).
Jon, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was in an excellent location to explore Basel and access public transport. If you are attending the conference centre but want to stay centrally, the tram stop is less than a minute's walk with frequent direct trams. The staff were lovely and the room was very clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Hotel for Basel

Motel one was a perfect location for our three day visit. The proximity to Christmas markets was our main choice with a young baby. Tram station outside hotel and an ideal location to explore the old town. The hotel has a very welcoming warm lobby area perfect when returning from walking in the winter chill. I would definitely be looking at Motel One’s other locations when on future holidays.

Lovely hotel in central Basel

We had a lovely stay at the MotelOne. The location is perfect, the staff are lovely and it wasn't too expensive considering how much things generally cost in Basel. Also one of the most comfortable hotel beds I've ever slept in. Highly recommended.
Damian, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our stay here was great. Only complaint was the construction outside, but with the the window closed we could barely hear it. The rooms are tiny by North American standards but the bed was very comfortable and the room overall was well maintained . Would definatly stay here again.

Complementary cultural passes and Christmas market mugs were unexpected nice touches. Staff was friendly and welcoming
