"We enjoyed our stay at Art House Basel for the most part. The staff went above and beyond with restaurant recommendations and were incredibly helpful with getting our delayed luggage delivered 15 minutes before our River cruise departed (two full days after we arrived in Basel!). The location was perfect for sightseeing and art museums.
My criticisms:
The room lighting, especially near the vanity, was terrible. It created dark shadows and made it difficult to put makeup on.

The staff were all great, the room was modern, clean and well thought out and the food in the restaurant (both breakfast and dinner) was fantastic! I’d definitely stay again if I was in this area.

When were we there: August 2019 for the jazz festival
Overall: Great venue, with very characteristic accommodation, a great selection of elements in the hotel to experience and explore - two restaurants, bar, theatre, and a cellar with archaeological interest. The hotel even offers an audio guide to explore it.
Rooms: Rooms are split across two buildings, depending on whether you go for "style" or "art" rooms - we were swapped to an art room, which was really impressive to experience,...

I was given a room on the top floor. It was very comfortable and had everything I needed. As someone who works from their hotel room the desk arrangement isn’t ideally suited to that but I made it work.
The restaurant was fabulous food and drinks and clearly was a destination spot for locals which meant there was a really buzzy atmosphere. There was also a wet bag in the room for those who swim in the river but I used it for my gym gear.

Very welcoming staff, lovely clean room with comfy beds. Fantastic generous sized rooms and bathroom. Only downside was noisy air con but during the heatwave I’d rather have a noisy air con than no air con

Excellent hotel & will go back, staff are all friendly & helpful, had a superior room which is better than the pictures show but chose to down grade to a standard room with a balcony which is also better than the pictures show & very comfortable, balcony was great. Dinner from the restaurant was nice & breakfast offers everything you could need. Free transport card is great, I had my car but just left it parked & used the bus & train to black forest, Rheinfelden, Basel, Schaffhausen. Train...
