Multi lingual staff was a major benefit and the accompanying Basel Card was extremely useful.
Nice pillows (they matter) and an up to date appointed room.

Would stay again
The location was ideal! Next to a square with a farmer's market, a local pharmacy and grocery market was across the street in different directions. Easy walking to many sites, but also right on the trolly/tram line. We were able to easily walk to the two Christmas markets in town.
The room was spacious, and the bathroom was large. I would absolutely stay at this location again on a future visit.

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.
