A beautiful hotel that is relatively new. Huge rooms. Beautifully appointed. Great restaurant and bar onsite plus a gorgeous rooftop where you can view the city and enjoy a cocktail. Very helpful and pleasant staff. Fabulous location - very close to the river, restaurants and shops.

Rob
Great location in the center of the old city. Right in the market square. Comfortable hotel accommodations. Excellent restaurant for morning breakfast. They provided a fan for our room .
Wayne
The staff were extremely helpful.
The room was great, but the A/C is limited. Staff brought us a room fan as there was a heat wave.
There was road construction in front of the entrance, but it was still quiet in the room.

Central location is great and super helpful staff. Breakfast good. Room amazing. As it is in the centre it can be a bit noisier but it makes up for that with convenience.
Kim
Another wonderful stay! Such a beautiful hotel.
Joe
Check in was not good. We arrived early, could not occupy our room..totally understandable, however, the hostess said she would call us when it was ready, she never did. We sat in the lobby from 1pm-3pm in full view of the front desk, no call. I went to the desk at 3pm and the room was ready and our bags were already in the room, which meant that our room was ready sometime before 3pm. Expedia's site and the hotels site both indicated the hotel had air conditioning...it does not...it was very warm. It was100 degrees outside. The TV channel selection was terrible. Both websites showed a sofa in the room, but our room did not have a sofa. Had to change rooms to one that had a sofa. The hotel is beautiful and the room itself was awesome. Great location.
Jessica

Great location
Hunter
We stayed for 5 nights and it was fantastic. Big thanks to Samuel at the front desk for making it extra special. Room was extremely comfortable - shower and bathroom super clean. Spa was nice during the cold of the winter. Included breakfast was very good but could have used a little bit more variety. Service was solid - whenever we ordered anything, it arrived minutes later. And location is unbeatable - walking distance to everything and trains readily available a block away.
mark
Excellent location for all amenities. Staff extremely helpful, nice clean rooms.
Omar
Noise AF. Didn’t sleep a second.
The windows are right next to tram tracks and the trains run 24/7 every 5 minutes all night long.
Zero soundproofing in windows.

We were so happy with our stay at this beautiful hotel in the heart of Basel's Old Town. It was within easy walking distance of everything we wanted to do, had very welcoming and helpful staff, and was so comfortable. I will definitely plan to stay here again on our next trip to the city.

the hotel is immaculate, the staff are friendly and efficient, the location is superb and the Bohemia cafe is a buzzy place during the day and evenings.
John
Staff A1, hotel in general is nothing special and overpriced.

Nice hotel. Recommended for anyone seeking accommodations in the old town.
Susan
This hotel is exceptional! I really loved my stay here. Our room was really clean and big. The location is conveniently located in the heart of the city. We were able to just walk to to the Christmas market locations in Münsterplatz and Barfusserplatz. The hotel staffs were really nice and very helpful. There is also a very good restaurant on the first level called Bohemia. I would definitely recommend this place.
Alicia
Lovely hotel, great attention to detail in both cleaning and amenities. The bistro was also great for a drink and a fantastic breakfast.
Stina
The room was lovely; the staff was excellent! The location is superb! Can highly recommend!
Marjory A
The staff were fantastic and the hotel was amazing! The hotel kindly gave my parents an upgrade for their 50th Wedding Anniversary. Thank you for making it special!
Pat
Not only was our room super clean and comfortable, but the staff truly is the shining star. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. They go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable and will assist you with any help you need - from finding where your riverboat is docked to helping you with finding but eventually replacing your lost phone. Will be highly recommending Hotel Marthof to friends and will return. Cannot thank them enough!
Paul

Perfect location, spacious room with elegant decor. Excellent staff. All in all a wonderful stay.
Lynn
Courteous staff. Housekeeping slow to respond when we ran out of toilet paper and the room would not cool down.
Andrew
A 5-star stay: clean, comfortable room with quality furniture, an inclusive stocked fridge, and a good varied buffet breakfast. Staff were helpful, but tram noise at night may bother light sleepers. Highly recommended overall.
Marlene
The staff was excellent. They were extremely helpful. I was recovering from a knee surgery during our visit and the staff were very accommodating. The location of the hotel is very good for sight seeing and shopping.
Debbie
The street cars and bar across the road were very noisy late into the night - otherwise everything was fabulous
Teresa
Through no fault of the hotel, construction directly outside hotel was noisy and inconvenient. Hopefully this will be finished soon. Great location for getting around the city. The staff at the front desk was exceptional and we really enjoyed our waiter, Victor, in the dining room.
Jill
All was great
Michael

Liked the modern update inside of an older property. Great dining area.
The fancy angular receptacles don’t accommodate barrel or flat plug multi-country adapters. Fortunately there were USB receptacles.

This hotel was beautiful, the staff was so amazingly friendly. I have no complaints about this hotel as everything was as I expected the location, the experience was all wonderful.
Christine
This hotel is in a great central location. Staff very helpful and friendly. Room was comfortable and clean but the steps from sleeping area to bathroom were challenging. That’s my only “complaint”. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious and so generous that we could go all day until dinner .

Best hotel ever
Best hotel experience I've had in my life. And I'm 54 years old so I've been in a lot of hotels. It's not just that the hotel itself is incredible, the staff went above and beyond my expectations every day. If I return to Basel I will definitely stay at this hotel and not even look for another one

Bruce
The property and staff was all excellent. The only thing I would recommend is to have the sauna and steam rooms operational by 7 am.
Donna Jean
The room was very warm, but the staff provided us with summer blanket and a fan which truly helped get us through the night. The staff was very helpful with directions to tram, restaurants provided a dry bag for floating down the river ride, which was exceptionally fun
