Really nice place in a quiet location
Comfortable hostel with excellent facilities and good breakfast bar. City has good tram service with free travel pass for hostel residents.
I thought it was a pity that the locker outside the room needs to be paid with a swiss franc, when it´s not necessary to have francs for the city. Further a towel rack for every person placed under or next to the wash basin next to the room could be easy to hang up a small towel or accesories. Thanx for the stay!
The Basel Youth Hostel gets points for the friendliness of the staff, and for the convenience of getting a public transport pass for the days of your stay.
The hostel loses major points on comfort and atmosphere, however. The design is "modern industrial" and the dorms look like cold barren concrete and plywood prisons, with curtains that do not block the light. No colour, no welcoming feeling, which is a shame because other international hostels can do minimalist without looking so cold.
Fairly expensive for a hostel, but I guess thats just Switzerland!
Unfortunately we did not stay at Basel. We had to cut short our holiday and return home due to medical reasons.
Thank you for your kindness
Zeer modern hostel. Erg mooi, goede faciliteiten en goede bedden. Prachtige locatie en uitstekend bewegwijzerd vanaf het station. 20 minuten lopen is dan ook echt 20 minuten lopen... ;-)
helpful staff. They were able to assist with itenerary changes and local travel routes and methods.
lovely location. A bit bleak inside, and toilets hard to identify.
