Our pick of the best Altstadt Grossbasel Hotel Deals
Hotel Märthof Basel
Through no fault of the hotel, construction directly outside hotel was noisy and inconvenient. Hopefully this will be finished soon. Great location for getting around the city. The staff at the front desk was exceptional and we really enjoyed our waiter, Victor, in the dining room.

Limehome Basel Münzgasse
Excellent location. Would like the option of housekeeping or at least for bins to be emptied on longer stays. Option for food would be an added bonus, even just a vending machine as local shops close early.

Good hotel that had extremely comfortable beds. At €19 for breakfast was a good deal (local coffee and muffin was €15)
