The location is excellent. a lot of attention is paid to the cleanliness of the room.The beds are comfortable. Everything is so quiet.Even though the bathroom is shared, the owner takes special care of cleanliness.I have never experienced a bathroom that is so clean and that smells so nice .

This might be one of the best hostel experiences I have ever had.I have been traveling for few years now and have stayed in a lot of hostels around the world and this hostel has really impressed me.The capsule where I slept in was comfortable,warm and offered much more privacy than a normal bunk bed. The hostel breakfest was really good too and the whole place was generally very clean and welll maintained.Plus the hostel is super close to the main train station and public transportation. I would stay here again for sure next I am visiting Basel. Cheers Jura

The services were even better than I had imagined: everything was very clean, very efficient and I was provided with all the things that I needed. The location was ideal, some minutes away walking distance from the cental train station as well as from a public transport stop for the city center. The staff was extremely polite with me and amazingly helpful to all the requests of mine. I would totally recommend it and stay there again!

This was a very clean, decent hotel and for a pretty good price by Swiss standards. The room was spotless and the bathroom seemed newly renovated with a powerful, warm shower. The location was a 15min walk from old town and around 25 from the sbb which was fine for me but there are trams nearby if you don't fancy it.

Really good location, ideal to cut through into town. Property was spotlessly clean. Good correspondence with the owner, who was very helpful and answered questions promptly. Would highly recommend this place when visiting Basel.
