Very nice modern hotel in a great location in old town. Couldn’t be better for finding restaurants museums shopping etc. Breakfast was very good and nice large lobby to breakfast and relax in. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Room decent size for Europe. Could have used 2nd chair in room
2.5 / 5.0
Great room, great location, great service.
Only downgrade was that they wouldn’t allow us to eat in the lobby.
We had to take food to our room, which was more weird than inconvenience.
I understand them wanting to upsell their own food, but it’s common area to the hotel, so it really cheapened an otherwise good stay.

It's a step up from a hostel. For 145 CHF a night (reservation made 2 1/2 months prior to arrival, standard room, no breakfast), I was expecting better.
The room was just too small. No closet. No tea kettle. No mini fridge. No desk. No phone to call reception. No space. No bathroom amenities (only hand soap and hair/body wash combo in shower). For a 4-night stay, I think it's normal to take stuff out of your suitcase, but there's just nowhere to put it.
The breakfast was 20 CHF, and not worth it. No hot items. Not even a toaster. Breakfast is served in the lobby. Although the seating and tables are fine for having a drink or getting together with colleagues, they aren't conducive to having a meal.
The personnel are very kind and helpful, but the aspects I found troublesome aren't things they can improve. It's just the way the hotel is. So I will be staying somewhere else on my next visit to Basel.

Fabulous service, great location, beautiful room!

The hotel was in an excellent location to explore Basel and access public transport. If you are attending the conference centre but want to stay centrally, the tram stop is less than a minute's walk with frequent direct trams.
The staff were lovely and the room was very clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.
2.0 / 5.0
Overall a very clean and prime located property. Stylish decor and friendly staff. Modest breakfast.
Only thing I didn’t like is that my room windows were opening towards an apartment building. There was only a darkening curtain. Which means either be visible to everyone or no view at all.
2.5 / 5.0
Great location but not easy to drive to as there are a lot of pedestrian only streets near the hotel. Parking is at the art museum garage a few minutes away. About 30 CHF per day. Hotel was great and modern with a bar in the lobby. Staff was nice.

Tram stop right outside, cafe below, coop market around the corner, bars and restaurants across the street, 2 blocks from the cathedral, extensive shopping within 1 block, just a great location. Stayed her a night before the river cruise and it was an excursion in itself. Noon check out so we had the morning to explore, then took the tram down to the dock - careful, be sure you have the right embankment dock for your particular boat…tram also took us straight from train to hotel. It would be good for Motel One to list easily which Tram to take from station to stopping point, etc., send in a pre arrival email, because it was SO easy and convenient. Not easy with big luggage to get in the doors up the stairs and across the cobblestone courtyard so be aware. Room was small but well equipped, clean, comfy and quiet. Everything is pre pay so no hassle on the way out with bills. Bartender 24 hours/day and attentive. Meeting space with friends on the first floor meant quiet upstairs for the rooms. Just a fantastic pre our post cruise hotel - highly recommend.

Fantastic experience. The hotel’s location is right on the centre of the city, the rooms are squeaky clean and comfortable. Love the pillow choices!
The staff are ver professional and friendly. Their card key system was down for one day and I was very impressed by the way the team handled the inconvenience.
Can definitely recommend!

Fantastic hotel, great location, super professional and friendly staff.
The rooms are reasonable sized, ultraclean, with comfy beds and choice of pillows.
The only thing I was missing was a small fridge to keep the water cold.

The first thing you encounter when you walk in the door is a bar, the check-in desk is behind that. The view is awful, the shower is not enclosed so water goes everywhere. However, the room is spotless and in mint condition. There is air conditioning and a breakfast buffet is available. They provide free WiFi and are located within walking distance of many things.

Love the hotel. Super cool vibe! Small but very fun rooms! The most comfortable bed and pillows I’ve ever had in a hotel. This was our second stay. Nice bar with good food and comfortable sitting areas. Nice to be able to walk to the Amsterdam airport.
2.0 / 5.0
The hotel was great, the staff even better. Our only negative was that we got a disabled room with a wet bathroom that we didn't need and it was impossible to shower without a flood.
Oh - tea and coffee in the room would be a nice touch too.
Location - excellent

We had a lovely stay at the MotelOne. The location is perfect, the staff are lovely and it wasn't too expensive considering how much things generally cost in Basel. Also one of the most comfortable hotel beds I've ever slept in. Highly recommended.

Very convenient location. Goof value hotel. One suggestion: I was on a business trip and would have welcomed having a small work station in the bedroom.
