Christmas Market right next door
Perfect location to visit Christmas markets. One is literally right outside the hotel front door. What i didn't like? The bed had two twin- sized duvets. I hate duvets and the twin size made it impractical to really sleep together. Tha AC wasn't working and the room was too warm.

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.

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.

Bright modern hotel, large and quiet room. Negatives - no coffee machine or kettle in room (hot drinks £6 each in 24-hr hotel bar!); no dedicated breakfast area, food eaten at whatever seating in lounge you could find (very busy at certain times), fairly basic food selection. Room safe too small to take laptop - the thing I most wanted to keep safe!
