Room got a bit stuffy and hot even with window open. I was on bottom bunk, glad in wasn’t up top - they are high! Wee bit hard too find location

Showers were amazing, hot and powerful, I’d come back just for those, bed was comfy and locker is large enough to fit whole suitcase in. Staff were lovely. Laundry facilities available

Nice hostel, we stayed as a family in one of the 5-person dorms. Very nice location for visiting Basel zoo, and excellent breakfast. the location is cool built in an old factory. The shared facilities were clean and guests friendly.

There was sweetcorn in the sink. The rooms are quite hot and the road is quite noisy. Despite this i slept well, the bed was comfortable.

The staff were brilliant and helped us make the most of a whirlwind visit to Basel. We liked the refurbished industrial buildings, the cool vibe, the plants and the local bar

Slight difficulty upon check-out. I was asked to pay the city tax a second time (I had paid upon arrival) by a second member of staff - the first member of staff had not made a note that I had already paid. Had an older age demographic and atmosphere than other hostels which wasn't to my taste. Cat on the premises which was fine by me but might bother others.

Stayed in an 8 bed female dorm. Good bathroom and shower facilities. Good storage facility in rooms, including lock provided. Breakfast offered for an additional fee - however, I did not choose this, so I can not comment on quality. Kitchen area available to use.

The price is really high for what is being offered (a shared room with shared bathrooms).

There was a fully equipped kitchen as well as a big dining table. We were given a public transportation card for travel within the city, which was pretty well connected. We stayed in an 8 person room and the bunk beds were super tall, which was great for being able to sit on the lower bed. The stairs for getting up to the upper bunk were also comfortable, and there were a lot of sockets available.

I love how airy the place was, the location to the central train / bus station. The lift for heavy bags was great / I had a bottom double bunk bed. The showers had great pressure and the kitchen was fully equipped. The bus stop and tan stops were right outside. A large supermarket were close too.

The bed wasn't the most comfortable, but it was OK. Shared bathroom was basic but perfectly fine for us.

Exceptional staff, going above and beyond and being super helpful and accommodating. The room was a great size, and had a fan for the warm evenings. Easy to walk to from the station and good transport links to the centre,.

The room smelled a bit sweaty.

The original decor was nice, including the plants. The room had large windows letting through a lot of light, and ventilation. Curtains could be pulled to keep the room dark. The showers were hot and with good pressure.

The locality and the relaxing atmosphere

They don’t provide any towels that you can use in the shower, also my bed didn’t have an easily accessible charging port and I had to crawl under the bed to find one, that didn’t look quite safe - it was coming off of the wall and the cables were showing but thankfully it worked and didn’t cause any trouble.

The beds were nice and felt quite private compared to other hostels. Staff was very friendly and they even provided me with a Basel city card that helped me use the public transport free of charge during the stay.

Very hot, no proper ventilation in the rooms. Terribly hot....if you would put vents from the rooms to the hallway so when the window is open in the room, there will be a cross breeze..and would be much cooler Also, could use USB chargers in the room. It was a very nice hostel. But the lack of ventilation in the rooms made it very uncomfortable to be in.

It was a very nice Hostel. The bunks were large. Good location.

Nice hostel in Basel, adequate rooms, and clean bathrooms. Good location, walking distance to everything.

It was incredibly hot but I think that’s just because of the heatwave.

Funky room, late check in.

Rooms could have better ventilation and aircon.

Lovely property in a nice part of town, not far off the station in the vicinity of cafes and restaurants. Backpackers staff very friendly and nice continental breakfast offered for 7CHF.

The breakfast was very basic.

A fairly central location. Clean, quiet, and modern. Friendly staff.

The upper bunk beds don't have access to sockets so a bit difficult to charge your phone at night. I saw a fan but not sure how hot it will get in the summers. Please also note you need to bring all your own toiletries as there is not even shampoo or soap in the showers.

I loved the ambience and the place was clean and tidy. The rooms were adequately-sized with bunkbeds and clean sheets. They can also provide towels for rent. The location is right next to tram and bus stops which can easily take you to the city center.

There was no lift up to the room. There were only table lamps in the main room so the room was gloomy. Noise from room above. The rain was also very heavy and made a lot of noise on the rain shelter.

Big room with a hammock. Staff were friendly and helpful. Very close to tram stop into Basel. We had a private room with its own bathroom.
