Easily within walkable distance of the train station, the location was perfect for us. So much to do and see in the immediate vicinity. The continental breakfast had plenty of options, and the rooms were clean and comfortable.

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!

One night stay before catching a river cruise. The hotel was relatively close to the dock. The Christmas market was literally right outside the door. Great location for what we wanted. The staff was friendly and helpful.

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.

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 in the heart of the Christmas market. Check in was a breeze. We booked a room with terrace and enjoyed a wonderful view of the Mather square and downtown. Free tram tickets allowed us easy travel back to the train station. Highly recommend! Lobby is a bar/restaurant, very inviting.
