This is a beautiful hotel in a nice part of the old town. The hotel decor is stunning. The wellness section was a great addition. We got a free upgrade to a gorgeous suite - thank you hotel!! It made our stay even more special. We would highly recommend.

Loved this stay. The breakfast buffet is amazing and the staff was very informative about restaurant and helpful in making reservations. Bonus, the tram runs right by the hotel and in addition to flavored water in the lobby there was a small selection of Haribo gummies, so yummy!

Stayed in the junior suite and had breakfast included. Great spacious room. Buffet breakfast had it all including omelette and fried egg options. My only complaint was the trams run all night and are loud. Sometimes difficult sleeping.

Fabulous place to stay while in Basel. The location is centrally located. The bed was probably one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on for a hotel. The bed linens and bath towels were a very nice quality. The breakfast was delicious.

The location of Hotel Marthof was perfect for what we were looking for in our 24 hour stay in Basel. We were able to walk to all the Christmas Markets and boutique shops in the area. And when we were finished at the end of the day there was a nice hot sauna and steam room to warm us. The Bohemia restaurant next door was very convenient in the evening when we didn’t want to head back out into the cold. There are two reasons I did not give five stars overall: 1. There are three steps which lead down from the bedroom area to the bathroom area and at night this can be treacherous. The hotel has installed a motion sensor light on the stairs but you have to trigger that just right when you are coming down from the top versus going up from the bottom. 2. Our room was very noisy. I understand it’s in the city but I think if we had been on the other side of the building (where there were no train tracks in the street) we wouldn’t have as readily heard the train squealing all night as we were trying to sleep. Ear plugs were of minimal help.

Book it, you won't be disappointed!
I was in Basel for a business conference at the congress centre. I decided to book this hotel to be in the nicer shopping/restaurant district with a short tram ride (6 mins) to the conference centre and I'm so glad I did. Many of my colleagues at the conference were jealous of this location! This hotel was safe, clean, friendly and the breakfast was delicious. Very happy with this stay. I needed electrical converters and Ironing board and both were brought to my room right away. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.
