A delightful experience at the heart of Basel. The hotel staff are professionals of hospitality, really welcoming. Clean, spacious, modern rooms, good breakfast and very good location - lots of sights and easy to get to train station. No issues with noise despite central location, did sleep well here. Breakfast could be purchased at reasonable price. Ac did good in the summer heatwave. I would recommend and visit again if I was in Basel, value for money indeed.

Motel One Basel was conveniently and centrally located. The hotel is next to Barfusserplatz, so check if there are any events in the plaza if you are concerned about noise and crowds. Staff were friendly and attentive. Breakfast was good and nice to have available. Basel hotels offer the "Basel card" which provides free local trams/bus travel and discounts on museums and other attractions. I appreciated the hotel bar which had a nice selection of gins. I would stay here again.

The location is in the heart of Basel. I requested and stayed on the floor with the balcony overlooking Barfusser Platz and recommend that. If you are traveling with a car and luggage, parking is not at the hotel. Breakfast is good with everything except, eggs/ bacon. The rooms are large and clean but have no other amenities like a fridge (accessible at front desk), safe...
