We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location is excellent—just a short 2-minute walk to buses and trams, and the railway is also easy to access, making access to Basel town very easy. The rooms are clean and well-equipped with everything you might need. Breakfast exceeded expectations and was above standard.

Exceptionally nice hotel at a good price. The room was small but very well designed. Everything you touch in this hotel feels like quality. Very friendly reception. My room facing the garden side was very quiet at night. Great location within two blocks of the city center and only one (free) bus stop from the central station.

Amazing experience. I stayed here for three nights in a room for six. Hostel, surprisingly a large building, is located in old and peaceful part of Basel. It's within short walking distance to Rhein river, Munster cathedral and Kunstmuseum tram station. I was given Basel Card at the reception which granted me free access to public transport and 50% discount to all museums. I really liked my room and my bed and I didn't mind the fact there were no curtains. Design of the room is really smart, as personal lockers and sink are separated from the beds/sleeping area with a wooden doors, thus keeping the noise at minimum. To add up, no check-ins are possible after 23:30 which allows you to sleep tight. Toilets and washrooms are on the same floor, just outside of the room in the hall. Breakfast starts at 6.00 am which I found really handy as I checked out early for my flight. Staff was really professional. You can also buy souvenirs at the reception and umbrella as well. I will definitely book again when I come back to Basel. Thank you, Hostel!

I was working around the corner; the location was extremely convenient for me. Staff at front desk were always kind upon coming and going from the property and helpful with everything I asked. I didn’t see the garden until my last day somehow but hope to stay again next year. It’s very clean and orderly as a hotel should be. Had everything I needed for my stay including gym and laundry! I do not have any complaints. Thank you!

I loved the man from Romania, who did everything about my check-in, in the reception. We got the rooms earlier. He was friendly, funny and helpful! He was just fantastic. We were at the bar during the evening and the cocktails were delicious and we also loved the barman. The breakfast was wonderful and the lady helped us to sit around the perfect table. It was messy, because of the previous guests. She was in a hurry, but she cleaned it soon for us, and kept smiling all the time. Thank you for everything. This hotel was a great decision!
