Hotel is conveniently located less than five minutes’ walk (with luggage) from Basel SBB. We were greeted by a genuinely friendly receptionist, who informed us that we had been upgraded. Well, we arrived at the “room,” which turned out to be a suite with dining/conference area, two bathrooms, a soaking tub, and a panaromic view of the Basel skyline. The dining/living area and bedroom were separate, each with individually controlled A/C. The weather was actually very cool and pleasant for late June, so the A/C was sufficient. That said, if it had been hotter, I’m not sure if the A/C in the bedroom would have quite enough for me, but I’m an extremely picky customer when it comes to air conditioning. In general, Switzerland is a tough place if you need your room at 19 Celcius/69 Farenheit. The living room, though, was able to get very cold. The in-house dining and beverage options were fantastic. There’s a more formal restaurant on the mezzanine above the lobby, where I enjoyed a great meal that worked around my dietary restrictions. Downstairs, there’s a patio restaurant/cafe, and a stylish indoor bar with a midcentury Milanese aesthetic. Honestly, I was surprised it wasn’t busier, but that might have been because we were staying midweek, right after Art Basel. Overall, I very highly recommend. Probably best suited to business travel, but it didn’t feel impersonal, or lacking in personality or style. On the contrary, it was comfortable and contemporary, with a few modernist touches that elevated the look and feel of the property.
ZZherIt was a comfortable stay, with great pillow and comforter. The toilets are clean and bright, with shower gel provided, as well as towels! The breakfast was amazing. The room is spacious and the overall environment as well as the architecture of the building is unique and impressive. However, there is no power socket around the bed, only a usb might be a slight disadvantage. You have to take the bus from the train station but they do provide free Basel Transport card. I enjoyed my stay there and would come back if I'm visiting Basel again!
ผผู้เข้าพักThe location is great, close to the Old Town and only minutes on foot from Barfuesserplatz. Parking at Steinen is also within relatively reasonable distance. The service was great and the staff very friendly. The rooms are modern, and what we especially appreciated were the separated shower and toilet, although we did miss additional opportunities to hang bath towels. Our room was to the front of the building and therefore somewhat noisy due to the proximity of the tram line, but I guess that's the caveat of such a central location. For breakfast there are two options: The full buffet breakfast at the Teufelhof across the street, or the coffee shop on the ground floor of the SET Hotel itself. We opted for the latter and loved their croissants. The corridors felt a bit bland, dark and ”hospital-like”, as my wife put it. A bit of colour would give it a somewhat friendlier touch. Other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and think it's an ideal place to stay for exploring the city.
We arrived late but we got a great welcome and and had a pleasent chat with friendly host in the reception. Staff is calm and professional and help with everything ! Rooms are clean and so are blankets and pillows. Baths and toilets are clean and offcourse there are water on the floor and some minor detailes when a lot of people share facilities. But we will come back if we return. The neighbourgood is close to the station, the Tram is just around the corner and the old factory that host the hostel is a creative space with bars-restaurants, climbing facilities and much more. The hostel gives you a free Basel card so whats not to like, and we can recommend to do as the locals, to jump in the Rhien and follow the stream along with the rest of the city. So a great stay for a family of 5, parents and 3 kids 5-12-15
Please note, I am a simple person with simple needs. I have divided this review into 3 parts, the good, the bad, and the ugly. The good - It is close to the convention center, around 100 meters away is a big Coop grocery store, tram stop around the corner, and an easy walk to old town Basel. Room also had a mini fridge, and they have an elevator. The Bad - This is picayune, but the elevator is tiny. The Ugly - Again, this was a rare event, not likely to normally occur, but they had turned off the radiators in the room, which made the room a tad chilly (weird weather), but the hotel set me up with a portable one.
