Excellent location with fun décor and a very clean space. Convenient access to shopping, transit, and restaurants. The room was well stocked with quality linens, two pillows per person, and good towels. The only downside was the lack of a kettle and fridge. Overall, we greatly enjoyed our stay.

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.

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.
