Hotel Märthof Basel
Very modern, clean room. We had a lower room so the tram ran by regularly but not too loud. Staff was helpful and the bar had excellent drinks before dinner

Nice hotel with great service. We had a great stay here and would stay again. It was well located, clean and comfortable. The staff were all friendly and welcoming. There is free coffee available all day and infused water at reception which is a nice touch.

Lovely location, good size room, didn't receive my access codes ahead of getting there which could distress some travellers

Der Teufelhof Basel
The room was very clean but housekeeping did not remember to replace wash clothes or refill used coffee bar items. Breakfast is expensive but very good. The front desk staff and restaurant staff were so nice and the hotel itself is beautiful and in a great location.
