We stayed for 6 nights and were incredibly happy with this outstanding apartment! It's in an excellent location, close to everything in the old town with supermarkets and restaurants nearby. The kitchen included lots of cutlery/bowls and cooking utensils and basic supplies (pepper, salt, oil, herbs, spices etc) which made cooking at home relatively easy. The bathrooms include soap and there is a dryer and clothes washer with laundry powder. Several fans were available if it gets hot at night as opening windows can let in street noise (though we slept with the windows open and it was fine). The view from the balconies was great for breakfast in the morning and a drink in the evening!

Everything! Kai was the most gracious and accommodating host you could ever imagine. He provided so many extra supplies that one might need while traveling and made sure that all our needs we met, including umbrellas, raincoats and shopping bags if needed. The room was spacious and bed very comfortable. We shared a bathroom, which turned out to be no inconvenience whatsoever. We highly recommend Guesthouse Casa Esperanza in Basel and hope you take advantage of Kai’s wonderful hospitality.

I was thoroughly impressed by the apartment’s exceptional location...! Perfectly situated, offering both convenience and a sense of calm away from the bustle. The interior was tastefully designed, immaculately clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything one might need for a comfortable stay. The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, making it easy to settle in immediately. Every detail, from the quality of the furnishings to the smooth check-in, reflected a high standard of care and professionalism. A truly pleasant experience. I would not hesitate to return. Thank you!!

⭐ 5/5 – An Amazing Stay at Basel Youth Hostel I didn’t expect to be this impressed by a hostel, but Basel Youth Hostel really delivered. From the moment I arrived, I noticed how clean, spacious, and well-maintained everything was—it instantly felt comfortable. What truly stood out was the thick walls—finally, a hostel where you don’t hear everything through paper-thin dividers! It made a huge difference in sleep quality after a long journey. And the floor heating? A game-changer. That little touch made the space feel extra cozy, especially on colder days. Everything about my stay felt smooth and effortless, allowing me to just focus on enjoying Basel. If you’re looking for a place where you can rest properly, feel at ease, and trust that everything is well taken care of, this is it. Highly recommend!

Basel is a vibrant city. What I liked most about this Hostel and having stayed in a private room is that the price is in line with the comfort. To start with its location, Gundeli is a commercial area where you can get everything from supermarkets, restaurants and cafes. Very safe to walk and very well connected to the train station (10-15 min walk)The staff who work at the reception are very friendly and explain very well about the facilities offered by the hostel and the city and the best of all is that the rate includes a transportation pass with which you can move around the entire city (airport also) and in some places get free internet.

The services were even better than I had imagined: everything was very clean, very efficient and I was provided with all the things that I needed. The location was ideal, some minutes away walking distance from the cental train station as well as from a public transport stop for the city center. The staff was extremely polite with me and amazingly helpful to all the requests of mine. I would totally recommend it and stay there again!

This was a very clean, decent hotel and for a pretty good price by Swiss standards. The room was spotless and the bathroom seemed newly renovated with a powerful, warm shower. The location was a 15min walk from old town and around 25 from the sbb which was fine for me but there are trams nearby if you don't fancy it.
