Motel One Basel was conveniently and centrally located. The hotel is next to Barfusserplatz, so check if there are any events in the plaza if you are concerned about noise and crowds. Staff were friendly and attentive. Breakfast was good and nice to have available. Basel hotels offer the "Basel card" which provides free local trams/bus travel and discounts on museums and other attractions. I appreciated the hotel bar which had a nice selection of gins. I would stay here again.

The hotel was very conveniently located on the square in the middle of the old part of town. We were on the 4th floor and had our own deck, which was really nice at night. The staff were very helpful and nice! While we were there, Europe was having a heat wave, and the AC never got the room very cool. The bed was clean and nice, but the mattress was very hard, as were the pillows. So while it was clean, in a great location, and with friendly staff, we did not get much sleep while there! The breakfast was expensive, especially if you only wanted a croissant and coffee. It was an all you can eat buffet with cheese, meat, yogurt, etc, so only worth it if you eat a lot at breakfast. If you like firm mattresses and pillows, it would be 5 stars!
