Cons:

The hotel is located on a central street, which is convenient, but we had difficulty resting and sleeping due to the loud noise coming from the bar downstairs late at night. The noise was significant enough that we had to call the reception and ask them to intervene.

One of my favorite hotels I’ve ever stayed at
Pros:

One of the best managed hotels I have ever stayed at. Everything was so thoughtful from the free drink on the rooftop to the city pass and the natural slippers that make your feet feel brand new. Also the more warm and helpful staff.

Cons:

A bit noisy from the clubs below at night.

Pros:

Das Art House Hotel liegt sehr zentral. Es kann zwar mit dem PKW nicht angefahren werden, jedoch gibt es ein recht angenehmes Parkhaus (Steinen) in nur 2 min Entfernung.
Das von uns bewohnte Zimmer war sehr angenehm, mit einem großen, sehr breiten Bett, vielerlei Annehmlichkeiten (Parkettboden, WC getrennt, Kaffeemaschine und Wasserkocher etc.) und insgesamt toller Atmosphäre.
Die Begrüßung am Empfang war besonders freundlich - der nette Mitarbeiter beantwortete alle unsere Fragen und machte eine telefonische Tischreservierung im Restaurant.
Wir bekamen als Upgrade ein Zimmer mit Terrasse!

Cons:

Die Lage in Basels Partymeile hat in Wochenendnächten akustische Nachteile: während an der Seite zur Fußgängerzone (Steinenvorstadt) der Feierlärm von der Straße bis spät in die Nacht zu hören ist, bekommt man an der Hotelrückseite den akustischen, sehr basslastigen Footprint eines nahagelegenen Clubs zu spüren - auch bei geschlossenen Fenstern. Konsequenterweise liegen im Zimmer Ohrstöpsel bereit!
Am Morgen hingegen ist es ruhiger als auf einem Dorf - nur Vogelgezwitscher ist zu hören. Von der Terrasse schaut man leider nur auf eine gegenüberliegende, sehr nahe Baustelle.
Einzige Kritik im Zimmer: die Beschriftung der Schalter für das recht komplexe Lichtsystem ist sehr klein ausgefallen...

Pros:

Aufgrund einer Baustelle gegenüber war es sehr laut, ungemütlich und auf der Terrasse extrem staubig. Wir haben noch vor Ort storniert und sind in ein anderes Hotel gewechselt.
