Highly recommend. Great location, very clean
Location was great. Right near the river. 20min walk to train station. Staff was really nice. Hostel was very clean. The rooms were big enough and very clean as well. Breakfast was very good. Only annoying thing is that you have to pay for a towel. But overall one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in.

Modern hostel in quiet part of town
Stayed here for one night in September in a private en suite room. The hostel is modern, clean and comfortable. It's located in a quiet part of Basel 10-15 mins walk from both the old town and Kleinbasel. No complaints!

Very clean, good free breakfast.
I stayed one night at the hostel and very much enjoyed it. The staff were welcoming and helpful, everything was clean and new. The location is good for a walk into the old town and quite easy to find. I paid for the hostel dinner which was really good, and a free breakfast is always a good thing! I would recommend this hostel.
