The breakfast buffet was excellent with a good range of options and for the length of time it was available. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and had very good facilities.

Advance notification that the 'weekend vibes' and 'city centre location' mentioned on the hotel website really mean that on Friday and Saturday nights the adjacent night clubs and entertainment venues playing very loud music mean sleep is impossible until 4am. The noise level reached 98 dcb at times and the bass shook the room which means, unless you intend to be out clubbing yourself, a midweek stay at this venue is to be recommended rather than a weekend break.

Property is clean and cosy, all products offered are of excellent quality (eg bed linen, coffee and tea, bath towels, shower products, etc).

As mentioned by travelers the location can be noisy, don’t go there to relax and rest (although my night was quiet on Tuesday), but this is well known and not a surprise so no problem for me. I would argue that rooms on the first floor are not ideal as they are on the reception floor and it’s a bit noisy with people coming or waiting there and talking… so if you have a choice avoid first floor!

The location is fantastic. Right in the center to walk to some major places (Kunstmuseum, Marktplazt, Münster…) + 2 minutes from the big tram station (Barfüsser platz) with possibility to go everywhere fast (direct tram line to the famous Beyeler foundation nobody wants to miss). Also walking distance from the train station. The room was super comfortable and stylish + Quiet despite being in a busy street with restaurants & terrasses. Breakfast on the rooftop is the best way to start the day with tasty local products. And the staff is super pro, helpful and friendly. Special thanks to Chris who answered all my fancy questions. It was beyond my expectations and I’ll go back anytime. I warmly recommend the Art House hotel for anyone who wants a seamless & vibrant experience of Basel.

Nothing. This place goes straight in my top 3 favorite.

Firstly the staff were absolutely lovely. We had an early flight, so we arrived to drop our bags before heading out and explore Basel. Not only was our room ready quite quickly, Bettina was so kind to let us know when our room was ready (which was earlier than scheduled). The breakfast staff were very kind as well. Our room was very nice too, great heating, comfortable beds, clean, modern. When we arrived the hotel had also gotten us Basel Cards, so we could immediately put them to use and this proved very beneficial to have exploring Basel. Will definitely stay here again!

I had a great stay

The staff were superb especially Bettina who went out of her way to make our stay comfortable. The roof top bar area was cosy and the breakfast in the same venue offered many choices; cooked and buffet and at the best price we discovered in all of Switzerland; 25 Swiss Francs per head for breakfast would be expensive in any other country, but its the bargain of the century in Switzerland! The bed was large and extremely comfortable and the room was spacious and nicely decorated with excellent amenities in the room.

Outside (Friday and Saturday) was very noisy at night with insufficient sound proofing.

The design of the room is very pleasant and comfortable. The location is excellent and the hotel is cosy, lovely, and amazing. Staffs are generally very friendly, welcoming, and helpful.

I had a bit of a trouble during check out regarding the payment system. We have already paid online at booking.com, but the staff at that time insisted that we have not paid yet, so it took quite a while and a bit of a back and forth before they found the payment. I was in a hurry for my train during that time hence it was a little frustrating at that moment but luckily everything was settled in the end.

The room was very clean, spacious with a concise design. Complimentary mini bar. Breakfast was varied with quality products. The location of the hotel is good, you can walk all around the center. No parking at the hotel, but there is a multi-level covered paid parking lot across the street. It takes 1 minute to get from the parking lot to the hotel entrance. Friday night there was a lot of noise from the street (lots of nightclubs and bars there), but the rest of the days were quiet. There are earplugs in the room to help with the noise.

There's a desk in the room for work. But you can't fit your legs under it at all.

Good location for day trips by train, 10 minute walk to the train station. Also short walk to Barfusserplatz for tram and Christmas market. We walked all over the central/old town area. Room was spacious and well appointed. I liked that the mini bar was a fridge so I could put my own drinks in it. The beds were more comfortable than most hotel beds. Staff was very nice and helpful. Breakfast was nice upstairs in the rooftop bar, featured local products.

I don't like open concept bathrooms. It makes it difficult to impossible to shower and get ready without waking the other person up. The hotel is located on a street with lots of bars and restaurants so the street noise is loud on the weekends. We got a room just off the reception area which was a little unusual. We did hear some noise through the door but we were gone most of the time so it wasn't bad.

The location is exceptional - right in the heart of Basel with easy access to the shops, restaurants, SBB station and the river. The room was very comfortable with a lovely touch of a free stocked minibar! The rooms overlook a busy street but the heavy blinds and curtains meant that we weren't disturbed at all. The hotel staff were very informative on arrival with tips of what to see and do - if we had stayed longer we'd have definitely looked to them for local recommendations.

The hotel was exactly what we needed for a short break. There are limited 'communal' spaces and the roof terrace was closed for a private event for one night while we were there but there are plenty of great cafes / bars / restaurants on your doorstep.

Excellent location, very kind staff. Excellent breakfast, but I would recommend more choice because if you are staying more days than it becomes prose

It was very nice on the rooftop bar until weekend. During the weekend it is opened for people which are not guests, and all of them can walk free thru hotel, making noise like I am in disco club. My felt very unsafe in hotel because of drunk people going in front of our room from the bar to the exit.
