wonderful old town hotel
This was an amazing hotel. From the time we were greeted to the time we left. They helped us with renting E-Bikes and gave us a map. The rooms are beautiful and very clean. The restaurant and breakfast in the morning was wonderful. I would highly recommend staying there.

A long weekend holiday
A stylish hotel with great views from the terrace. Fitness centre was clean and had good equipment and a proper sauna (even for a Finn) and a steam room, too. Ate once at the Bohemia - lovely food and decor.

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!

Great Hotel in Basel
This hotel is awesome! It was roomy for the three of us and very comfortable. I love how it was walking distance to the Christmas markets as well as so many other things!

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.

Location, serene luxury and super friendly staff
A beautiful building, tastefully updated in the best location in Basel. Was a nice surprise to get the VIP of the day treats. The plate of seasonal fruits and the hand written postcard are those little things that make the difference. Sending over 200 nights a year in 4 or 5 stars hotel in Europe and the USA I AM pretty sure excelente is on the detalles. Our room, overlooking the Rathaus and Markolatz was superb. Great amenities from Molton Brown. Special thanks to the Dominican lady taking care of our room every day and to David, at front desk for his effort to try get a parcel delivered to me. No luck at all with PDP but he was very kind and did his best. Despite not having an indoor pool at the spa, the top floor terrace with 360 degree views of the city is superb. Breakfast is delicious too. Would definitly come again and highly recomend Maerthof Hotel.
