Basel Back Pack, Basel, Switzerland

It was the last bed available in Basel due to Basel World. It had been over 30 years since I'd been to a backpackers - I was full of trepidation BUT boy have they improved!!

BBP is in an interesting location - seems like an industrial site. Close to the railway station.
