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.

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.

Too loud!
Beautiful hotel. Beautiful room with a comfortable bed and great pillows. However, we went in December and the room was about 75-80 degrees. We opened the window to get air and all we heard was the Tram all night. The hotel is right on the Tram line. (Like 15 feet from it). Whole it was very convenient to the Christmas markets, I would not stay there again.

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.

Excellent location and service but hotel not to ou
Excellent welcome and service. Also excellent location for old town and shops/restaurants/trams.
Unfortunately, we didn’t like the hotel itself but that’s just our taste. We found the decor a bit dismal and clinical. Also, we didn’t like the weird bathroom facilities.Shower and basin in the bedroom and separate toilet near the door. Style over function.

Service was friendly and always helpful. Extra benefits included. Free mini bar and a Basel pass which gave us half price off at museums and free tram rides. Breakfast buffet was very good.

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.

The hotel and staff are exceptional. The only reason I gave 4 stars is that our room was not ready at 3 PM which is check in time. We were comped a couple of drinks at the bar for our inconvenience.

The Hotel Marthof is lovely, clean and very well located. The breakfast is very nice. It is right over a tramline so it is not quiet. Our Signature room on the 5th floor was very warm but once we opened the window it was noisy. Loved the candy bar at checkout.
