The Bohemia Restaurant, situated on the ground floor, provides an exceptional dining experience with indoor and outdoor seating. Guests can enjoy the vibrant city life from 6:30 a.m. to midnight.

Great place.Location is superb, room spacious and tram noise was not an issue during the night.We had dinner at the Bohemian which was delicious and staff was great too.

We spent one night (pre-cruise) at the Hotel Märthof Basel and loved every minute of our stay. From check-in to check-out, the reception staff was warm, welcoming, and helpful. The rooms are beautiful (and beautifully designed.) We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel restaurant, and that was also a delightful experience. Hotel Märthof is my top recommendation in Basel, Switzerland.

This gem of a boutique hotel was just what we were looking for. The location is perfect, within walking distance to anything you need, and all the shopping and cafes you would ever want.Our room was an Jr Suite and it over looked Historic Markt Square, which is beautiful. The room itself was huge, gorgeously decorated, had a ton of closet and storage space, with a massive bathroom complete with a deep soaking tub and really high quality shampoo and conditioner. I was in heaven!The restaurant downstairs which also provided the room service, that we partook in a few times, was excellent.The hotel staff went above and beyond to treat us like Royalty. They helped with suggestions for restaurants, site seeing, helped research and book excursions close and far. They were so friendly and courteous.There is construction going on, but they stop working at precisely 5pm and don’t start again until 8am. We were also there through Saturday and Sunday which they didn’t work. The light rail/tram system didn’t bother us at all, we even slept with the window open one night. I found it rather soothing and rhythmic, like a white noise machine. There is also a great rooftop terrace with beautiful views.I highly recommend this hotel and if we are ever in Basel, we will stay here again!

Stayed here for 4 nights and really enjoyed it. Excellent service, clean and beautifully designed rooms and great amenities. The minibar is free. Great breakfast buffet and the restaurant offers delicious food at a reasonable price. Just be aware that the windows a not incredibly sound proof and if you are facing the tram lines it can be rather noisy. That’s the case with a lot of hotels in Basel though.

Fantastic location right in the center of Basel. Beautiful old building. Parking garage Storchen right next door. Regular rooms are spacious and have a great modern style. Staff is very friendly! Spa is small but very stylish/clean and has everything that is needed. Nice bar for a good-night drink and good breakfast. We enjoyed our stay a lot and I absolutely recommend the Märthof!

The Hotel Marathon in Basel, Switzerland was a disappointment for me and my friend. On one side are the trolly cars which make noise all day and all night and the other a huge building undergoing restoration.Both of these made an enormous amount of noise from 7 am to 6 pm. They have no AC so one must open the windows and hence hear the noise. The lobby has steps and is not very pretty.The attached restaurant and bar had a good breakfast but is expensive.The toilet area has no sink which is awkward also.All in all, this hotel right now is not worth the money.Our stay there was in Sept., 2024.They should have sent us an email in advance regarding the noise of restoration next to the hotel.Jan Elizabeth Mooney in Chapel Hill, N.C.

Friendly staff, great location, exceptionally clean rooms. We really enjoyed the small details and the well-thought out and comfortable rooms. The rooftop terrace is also lovely. Hopefully construction next door will be over soon!

My friend and I stayed at the Märthof to visit Basel for the first time. The hotel is a stunning building right next to the Rathaus. The staff were incredibly friendly and our room was enormous with lovely furniture and a great bathroom. There was even a rooftop event the night we stayed which was very fun. The only thing that stopped it being 5 out of 5 was the in room coffee which was disappointing.

We really enjoyed our stay here, especially the sauna and the convenient location. One star less because our breakfast experience was a bit odd. When we arrived, there was no staff present at first, so we waited. When asked for our room number, we provided it but mentioned that we preferred to pay by card after our meal instead of charging it to the room. The staff member seemed surprised and hesitant. After we placed our order, she immediately asked for the card, even before we received our coffee or started eating. We shared this with the front desk, and they assured us it wasn’t standard practice and quickly resolved the issue. Despite this minor inconvenience, our overall stay was excellent!

Everything. The management, front desk, restaurant, bar and housekeeping, exceptional. The staff always greets with a smile and so very attentive to one’s needs. The property itself is in a perfect place in the old town of Basel, so you can walk everywhere. Very clean with large rooms and all the necessary amenities. The bar and restaurant are busy and vibrant with wonderful dining options and cocktail bar. A special notice to the front staff and the restaurant staff breakfast, lunch and dinner,exceptional . Patrick, thank you and Umit for your passion for what you do and such wonderful and exceptional people. We’ve stayed with you before and can’t wait to see you all again! 👏🏻👏🏻

The desk did a great job meeting our every need. They really went above and beyond in assisting us to arrange a car and driver for a special trip. Nice room and cleaning staff was very good. Our room was often too warm. Very good food in the restaurant and everyone who waited on us in the restaurant was delightful, but on several occasions male hosts in the restaurant were rude to us.

Everthing about the Hotel Märthof Basel is wonderfully luxurious from the moment you step through the door.The staff at reception were welcoming and even though we arrived a few hours early our room was ready.We stayed in room 409, which is a turret suit.It was spacious yet cosy.The bed was as big as my own and so comfortable.Fantastic bath and shower.When we came back to our room in the evening there was a welcome note with delicious macaroons.The coffee and tea were excellent, plus the contents of the mini bar were gratis, which was handy for a cold orange juice in the morning as we were leaving early.We were sadly only there for one night but will definitely be going back.

Thank you so much to Samara and her team for making my stay so welcoming. I've been to Basel close to 7 times and this has been the most memorable trip so far. The room was fantastic and the mini-bar a pleasant surprise. Thank you so much as well for the welcome gift!
