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.

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.

Bright modern hotel, large and quiet room. Negatives - no coffee machine or kettle in room (hot drinks £6 each in 24-hr hotel bar!); no dedicated breakfast area, food eaten at whatever seating in lounge you could find (very busy at certain times), fairly basic food selection. Room safe too small to take laptop - the thing I most wanted to keep safe!

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.

Tram stop right outside, cafe below, coop market around the corner, bars and restaurants across the street, 2 blocks from the cathedral, extensive shopping within 1 block, just a great location. Stayed her a night before the river cruise and it was an excursion in itself. Noon check out so we had the morning to explore, then took the tram down to the dock - careful, be sure you have the right embankment dock for your particular boat…tram also took us straight from train to hotel. It would be good for Motel One to list easily which Tram to take from station to stopping point, etc., send in a pre arrival email, because it was SO easy and convenient. Not easy with big luggage to get in the doors up the stairs and across the cobblestone courtyard so be aware. Room was small but well equipped, clean, comfy and quiet. Everything is pre pay so no hassle on the way out with bills. Bartender 24 hours/day and attentive. Meeting space with friends on the first floor meant quiet upstairs for the rooms. Just a fantastic pre our post cruise hotel - highly recommend.

This place almost gets a 10 out of 10. The staff are great, , I loved our room, the location is good. The shower floor is too level so water goes under the shower door and gets the area in front of the shower wet. They need to leave more towels to deal with that. What I hated are the pillows- rock hard bricks, and no softer options. And I couldn’t use a rolled up towel for a pillow because all the towels were wet from the shower! But I would still come back- just check the pillow and towel situation before it’s late at night!
