Too loud!
Beautiful hotel. Beautiful room with a comfortable bed and great pillows. However, we went in December and the room was about 75-80 degrees. We opened the window to get air and all we heard was the Tram all night. The hotel is right on the Tram line. (Like 15 feet from it). Whole it was very convenient to the Christmas markets, I would not stay there again.

Book it, you won't be disappointed!
I was in Basel for a business conference at the congress centre. I decided to book this hotel to be in the nicer shopping/restaurant district with a short tram ride (6 mins) to the conference centre and I'm so glad I did. Many of my colleagues at the conference were jealous of this location! This hotel was safe, clean, friendly and the breakfast was delicious. Very happy with this stay. I needed electrical converters and Ironing board and both were brought to my room right away. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

I arrived at Hotel Märthof on my last day in Europe before flying back to the states early the next morning. The hotel staff was welcoming and arranged for my taxi to the airport at 3:45 am the next morning (😳). The hotel appears modern and sophisticated, with dark moody colors in the lobby hallways. The room was clean and bright with a very comfortable bed and great water pressure in the modern, updated shower. The location is great- it is right near Old Town and close to the Rhine River. The autumn fair was beginning the day I arrived and I enjoyed visiting the a local plaza with local vendors and booths. Hotel staff provided me with a map with locations of the plazas with markets and gave me a free pass for trams and public transportation. I mainly wandered around looking at the beautiful buildings of Old Town. There’s also a grocery store close by if needed. The only negative were the trams that run so close to the hotel. At night there are fewer of them (reduced schedule I think) but I heard them rumble by all night. I would stay there again…I appreciated the chocolate bar they gave me upon checkout to take with me to the airport! Nothing like Swiss chocolate to celebrate a visit to a beautiful country.

Excellent location and service but hotel not to ou
Excellent welcome and service. Also excellent location for old town and shops/restaurants/trams. Unfortunately, we didn’t like the hotel itself but that’s just our taste. We found the decor a bit dismal and clinical. Also, we didn’t like the weird bathroom facilities.Shower and basin in the bedroom and separate toilet near the door. Style over function.

Beautiful Marketplace Basel Hotel
What a beautiful hotel in the Marketplace area of Basel. We only stayed one night before a flight out of Zurich, but wish we could have stayed longer (definitely in the future). We arrived early from our prior travels and the reception staff helped us get settled and had us in an incredible room. The breakfast was good and opened early so it was great to do before a train trip.
