During Eurovision so outside was noisy, crowded and probably not as clean as usual. But big police presence and didn’t see many problems considering number of people. Good job! And a beautiful, charming city. I’d love to return when it’s quieter.

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.
