Clean, friendly, convenient and favorably priced for long-timers like me. I have been staying here for 6 months and have been extremely happy. It's quiet and the wi-fi is always available so it's easy to work in the evenings if necessary.

Struggled to get hotels (and they are usually overpriced especially during events) and found this little gem. Wasnt easy to find initially (back of train station and two streets away) but once located easy to find every day (walking). Small rooms, but have tv (1 x channel in english), free internet, fridge, shower, usual stuff. ironing downstairs. Staff friendly enough... More

Stayed here on a business trip. THis is not a hotel. It is more a youth hostel than anything else. No 24 hour reception. Very shady people hanging around the place most of the time. I have stayed at youth hostels which were better than this place.

It is very important to understand that this property is not a hotel. We arrived on a Saturday morning to find the front door locked. There was a notice on the door providing a phone number to get a code to enter the building. We did not have a phone but eventually we did gain entry to the building and... More

My husband got a job in Basel and so we used these apartments (although you cannot really call them that), as a temporary measure until we found an apartment. The rooms are basic and quite small. In the time we were there, they cleaned our room just the once and I had to take our trash down and do our... More

I had stayed in Gundeli-park as a temporary measure before I could find better serviced accomodations and I would recommend this place as stop-over only. If you are in Basel for a couple of days, this is a decent place to stay. It is cheaper than other options and provides a restful and good enough atmosphere. There is no room... More

Standard of the room is ok, but there's no aircondition. That's not the worst part. They only clean up the room once a week! I stayed there for a month and I was living on crumbles! There"s no free internet access, and the one you have to pay for is on a wire (I had to change them twice cos... More

Basel is a good City but this hostel (not hotel) really lets the Swiss down. No Air Conditioning room was really hot and uncomfortable, but say not to room near the lift shaft as it was far too noisy also the noise from other guests was particularly bad loud TV played into the night and no night time concierge but...

People going to Gundeli-Park should know that it is indeed an 'apartment block' and not a hotel. Breakfast is not provided and although the rooms are serviced, this happens on an irregular basis (not during weekends, not if you rise after 8 o'clock). However: the rooms are quite good and not too expensive (by Swiss standards). It is a quiet... More
