Basel Marriott Hotel

“SIMPLY THE BEST MARRIOTT I HAVE EVER STAYED IN!”

Simply one of the best Marriotts I have stayed in - this property had everything going for it, a wonderful design, comfortable furnishings, a staff that will knock your socks off with kindness and efficiency, and just an overall comfortable experience. I did not try any of the food & beverage (spoiler alert: pretty pricey), so I cannot report on that, but from the hotel standpoint, tip top all the way around!

“Great location for Art Basel, but overall just an okay stay”

The biggest advantage of the Basel Marriott Hotel is its location.

The biggest advantage of the Basel Marriott Hotel is its location. It's directly next to Messe Basel, the convention center that hosts Art Basel, making it an incredibly convenient place to stay if you're attending the fair. It's also easy to walk into the Old Town and explore the rest of Basel from the hotel. Overall, the hotel was comfortable and met our needs. The room was clean, and I appreciated the exterior blackout blinds, which made it easy to get a good night's sleep. My room, however, had a slanted ceiling that made it feel a bit like an attic, and despite being on an upper floor, there wasn't much of a view. One nice perk was the M Club lounge, which offered water, snacks, and light bites throughout the day. It was a convenient place to stop in between outings. The biggest disappointment involved the laundry service. I sent out a brand-new blouse that I'd only worn once to have a stain removed, and it came back with damaged fabric. The hotel waived the cleaning fee, which I appreciated, but they didn't offer to reimburse me for the damaged blouse. One other thing to note is that parking isn't on-site. If you're renting a car, the parking is several blocks away, which was a bit inconvenient. Overall, this was a perfectly fine stay. The location is excellent, especially for Art Basel, but given the very high room rates during the fair, I expected a bit more.

“Fine hotel, but don't bother to request connecting rooms”

This hotel was a fine base for a few days in Basel. However, we were quite disappointed by a few things. I had contacted the hotel months in advance to request connecting rooms, and then confirmed our request again a couple of days in advance.

This hotel was a fine base for a few days in Basel. However, we were quite disappointed by a few things. I had contacted the hotel months in advance to request connecting rooms, and then confirmed our request again a couple of days in advance. While I understood that the hotel did not guarantee connecting rooms, I had assumed they would make some effort to reserve them for us if available. However, when we checked in, they did not seem to be aware of the request, and it was clear that no attempt had been made to assign us connecting rooms. Also, the wifi was almost unusable, which was quite surprising for a business hotel.
