The SET hotel residence is a case study in good design, and good service. The room was clearly designed by people who understand a guest's needs, and have poured their passion and experience into a simple, but super hotel. Wooden floors, easy to clean. The management of all the big chains should visit, and understand that a mid range hotel can be perfect. It puts most Hiltons and Sheratons to shame. What do I mean? Sockets! Lots of them, (I would guess there were 12 to 16 sockets in total) in all the right places. Sinks, three of them, at the right height, with storage space around for a washbag and toiletries. Blinds and a sun shade. A big desk, and a bench above the fridge. Subtle lighting which works. Quality shower gel in an eco-friendly dispenser. A Nespresso coffee-maker with capsules and milk. A big fridge, not a tiny bar fridge. Very quiet. Water in glass bottles in the fridge, not plastic ones. A good size gym. The staff were also great - very friendly, helpful, excellent English. The location is also superb - 20 minutes walk from the Kinderspital, a few minutes from the old city, a tram stop close by. University music facilities nearby, so when you walk down the street you can often hear beautiful piano music or a harpist playing. There's secure, reserved parking five minutes walk away for CHF 25 a night. There are hire bikes and rental scooters nearby, a bakery and a range of good restaurants. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Basel.
