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.

The hotel and staff are exceptional. The only reason I gave 4 stars is that our room was not ready at 3 PM which is check in time. We were comped a couple of drinks at the bar for our inconvenience.

The Hotel Marthof is lovely, clean and very well located. The breakfast is very nice. It is right over a tramline so it is not quiet. Our Signature room on the 5th floor was very warm but once we opened the window it was noisy. Loved the candy bar at checkout.

The hotel is in a central location, just a short walk from the Rhein and lots of shops and dining. Our room is immaculate, attractive, and well-outfitted with eco-friendly features, an excellent shower, and comfortable bed. The staff were friendly and helpful and the hotel restaurant served a delicious buffet breakfast with fresh fruit, cheeses, freshly-baked breads and croissants, etc. Our stay has been delightful!

The hotel room is very well designed and decorated. Bedding and towels are very comfortable. Overall we had a very pleasant stay. Hotel staff were very professional and helpful when needed. The hotel is located next to the city hall where there are many tram lines passing by. Everywhere in the old town is walkable and there are plenty of eateries and shops nearby. This hotel will be our top choice when we visit Basel again.
