Basel Marriott Hotel

Nothing in particular, especially since I had expectations for a 4-star Marriott hotel. The truth is that we paid everything as requested: accommodation, guarantee, breakfast, city tax, but did not receive everything that was expected in return.

The staff were great and solved any problems with our accommodation with the least amount of hassle involved. The room was great and the breakfast was really good. The rest of the city was accessible from this location by tram, and we were given myBasel cards by the Hotel which gave us free travel on the buses trams for most zones even up to the German and French borders. MyBasel cards also gave us discounts to museums and a couple of events, so it was definitely worth having. MarktHalle Basel is worth visiting if you have difficulty finding a place to eat, and is easily accessible from this location.

The location (10 min walk from the centre), multiple trams/buses nearby, they provided with a Basel card (free public transport, discounts for museums and other public activities). Neat hotel, clean and spacious rooms.

Excellent breakfast: A Chef making omelets to order, every type of egg you'd want to eat. Cereals fruit cold meats varied bakery - patisserie. Hot and cold food. A wonderful diverse food spread, with good coffee and juices. The club lounge was well-stocked with water, juice, and snacks. Good to use after long walks or for small bites instead of shopping for drinks.

The breakfast was very good, well stocked, all tastes and diet needs catered for. Caring staff. Bed was a little firm, and pillows soft. Very glad we stayed there and would stay there again. It is a little further from the old town but a tram is at the door and the hotel gave us a free tram pass.
