About this place Hotel Märthof Basel

Hotel Märthof is a mainstream city hotel on Marktgasse in Basel's Old Town, steps from Marktplatz and the Rhine bank. It is listed as gay-friendly, not as a gay hotel. Google reviews average 4.7 from more than 600 ratings, which is high for central Basel. The location is the main draw: trams stop at Marktplatz and Schifflände, and most of the Old Town is walkable. Basel's gay bars are small and spread out, with Grossbasel and Kleinbasel both reachable by tram or a 15-minute walk. Swiss prices apply, so book early around Art Basel in June.

The hotel is very well located, overlooking the Marktplatz and near the ferry landing. The rooms are unique, with three steps leading from the entrance and bathroom to the bedroom area, which includes a small desk (not recommended for people with mobility issues). Those sensitive to noise should request a room facing the Globus bus station. The breakfast buffet is generous, with fresh fruit, eggs and bacon, cold cuts, salmon, and various types of bread. The conference room is well-equipped and comfortable.
