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.

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.

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.

Great location but not easy to drive to as there are a lot of pedestrian only streets near the hotel. Parking is at the art museum garage a few minutes away. About 30 CHF per day. Hotel was great and modern with a bar in the lobby. Staff was nice.

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.

Clean and prime location
Overall a very clean and prime located property. Stylish decor and friendly staff. Modest breakfast.
Only thing I didn’t like is that my room windows were opening towards an apartment building. There was only a darkening curtain. Which means either be visible to everyone or no view at all.
