Steps from winter magic

Nice enough convenient hotel in the middle of town but a great place for xmas market visits as you literally step into a little bit of winter magic

Very good stay with very friendly and professional staff and great breakfast. Fantastic location in the historic center. We requested extra duvets as the 2 single ones given were not sufficient, especially in January which the staff gave us without a problem. There is only one liquid soap in the shower which you need to grab to wash hands. Didn’t see any recycling bins but maybe the system is different in Basel. Would return as it’s a great place to stay in this city.

Basic rooms and quite expensive, nice hotel

Hotel located in an excellent position for trams and exploring the city centre. Hotel reception and bar area, welcoming, comfortable and the staff were excellent, kind and courteous and nothing too much trouble. The rooms are very basic, carpet thin and not at all luxurious to walk on, no tea or coffee making facilities in the room not even a bottle of water and paper cups to stand my toothbrush in! The bathroom was nice and modern and very clean, i love a full length mirror and also a safe, however the double bed had 2 single quilts which didnt really work quite frankly the size was just too small. The room heating was easy to control but had no view at all from the 3 huge windows. Breakfast very nice the usual continental cold breakfast with plenty of choice though no decaffeinated breakfast tea or coffee. Only one large proper table for 10 people to sit at to eat, otherwise youre sat in the hotel reception area at a low table and chair, not good for digestion. Would i stay again, perhaps, would maybe try another hotel for comparison, but was spotlessly clean and warm so wouldnt complain, was just a basic room for the price.

We spent New Year’s in Basel and was hoping for something a little more quaint, but the hotel was clean, quiet, and convenient to a variety of restaurants and local transportation. We are INCREDIBLY grateful to the gentleman who checked us in as he let us know that the garage we had originally parked our rental car would be locked through the New Year’s holiday which would have greatly impacted our plans the next day! Thankfully we were able to move our car to a different lot and left the next morning on time. The breakfast buffet was not as extensive as I had hoped, and limited options for vegetarians without consuming a ton of sugary pastries. Other than that the room was simple, clean, and comfortable.

Christmas Market right next door

Perfect location to visit Christmas markets. One is literally right outside the hotel front door. What i didn't like? The bed had two twin- sized duvets. I hate duvets and the twin size made it impractical to really sleep together. Tha AC wasn't working and the room was too warm.

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.

Would definitely stay here again! The hotel is new and in a prime location to shopping and dining. Our room overlooked one of the Christmas Markets, you stepped out the front door and you were there, yet in our room you couldn’t hear any outside noise! The bar and lounge area was excellent and well attended!
