Motel One Basel was conveniently and centrally located. The hotel is next to Barfusserplatz, so check if there are any events in the plaza if you are concerned about noise and crowds. Staff were friendly and attentive. Breakfast was good and nice to have available. Basel hotels offer the "Basel card" which provides free local trams/bus travel and discounts on museums and other attractions. I appreciated the hotel bar which had a nice selection of gins. I would stay here again.
