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.

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.
ผผู้เข้าพักWir waren am Tattoo. Dafür ist die Lage ausgezeichnet. Der Empfang war freundlich und speditiv. Das Zimmer war angenehm gross und mit allem ausgerüstet was man so braucht. Auch die Nasszelle war gross und mit allem ausgerüstet. Die Betten sind sehr gut und bequem. Das Hotel ist ruhig, wir haben gut geschlafen. Wir werden wieder hier übernachten.
Für uns negativ war der hohe Preis für das Frühstücksbuffet. Wir haben woanders gegessen.
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.
