    Excellent location to the train station. Very easy self check in. Kitchen facilities were very good and the place was very clean.

    I stayed in a pod and it was very hot and stuffy, needed to have door open to let air in as there is not enough air flow in the pods.

    One of the few reasonably priced places in central Basel… only 5 minutes walk from the central SBB station. Area is good and feels very safe, the room itself was basic with a wash basin but was clean and reasonably comfortable. Door access via code sent on day of arrival. Didn’t encounter any staff so can’t comment but the whole place seemed very decent and well run.

    The room was pretty minimal anc characterless. Not even a picture on the wall. Seemed a bit cell like.

    Location was handy to the train station and the kitchen was decent.

    The beds had no privacy curtain, the charging points don’t work so you couldn’t charge your phone in bed. I was in a 6 bed dorm with only 4 lockers so not everyone could lock their stuff away. The bathroom was next door and the tap is so stiff and noisy it kept you awake when someone used it. Really hot rooms so you needed the window open which then resulted in it being really noisy. I wouldn’t stay here again, or recommend it.

    Perfect location, staff where lovely, easy check in and out, it’s really vibey they have a great kitchen and sitting area and a pool table

    There was no where available in the room for me to store my luggage :( also no plugs near the bed so couldn’t charge my phone at night, there a place to plug you’re lead into the light above you’re bed but it didn’t work? Also no curtains around bed so no privacy while you sleep

    It was very clean, welcoming and easy to get to. Basel is an expensive city, but the price was quite fair given this. They also had great resources for people visiting as solo travelers to the city. Also good wifi.

    Nothing to dislike! Just a headups to hikers, the kitchen opens at 7am so plan accordingly if you need to get food earlier.I didn't ask about other options so maybe there is something else!

    Really good value, got a single room for only slightly more than shared room. Great location right by train station. Perfect for me.

    Got a bit hot in room, there was a fan available though. I think hard to avoid as Basel was just very hot during my stay.

    Great location near SBB, fair value, comfortable and clean hostel rooms.

    Staff did not seem the friendliest or helpful when I checked in. I had to ask where the kitchen and bedroom was. Also did not seem the most friendly vibe in general, wasn't an issue for me but good for others to know. Not unfriendly either, but people stick to themselves. Lots of rooms, both hostel and private were there so it's less of a cosy friendly hostel vibe and more of a standard hostel, you are part of lots of randomers vibe. But overall still a great and comfortable stay and was the most affordable place I could find in Basel, so definitely recommend.

    The only problem was, the room was so hot and unventilated.
