Nice bed, towels provided, individual touch-activated light by bed with three light settings with two USB charging ports and a little shelf. Additionally, two wall sockets to plug in more devices. The room set-up with the sink and closet area behind a nook and with individual lights meant you could easily pack or access your things with minimal disturbance to others (e.g. if you arrive late or leave early). There is a single desk and chair in the room. The showers were clean, water pressure good and you could use a good hairdryer free of charge. The communal spaces were welcoming and the pizza at the bar was tasty. The kitchen was equipped with stuff to make your food (stoves, fridges-freezers, dishwasher, electric kettle, toaster). Other customers generally kept the place tidy though some people did forget their mother did not travel with them (please don’t be this person). The staff was friendly and welcoming although I checked in through the check-in kiosks at the front so had little contact with them. After checking out, I could leave my luggage at the locked and CCTV-d luggage room which was an added bonus. Great location - had to walk to the place by heart after my data stopped working and it was really, really easy to find as you just walk in a straight line from the train station for like 5 min. Overall, I would say top 3 hostels I’ve stayed at
The Basel Backpack is housed in a renovated historic factory, only 10 minutes from Basel’s main train station. The Basel Mobility Ticket (free public transport) is included in the rates.

I took a private room. The room was unexpectedly spacious, had a lovely retro feel, comfy bed and sofa, hot shower with good pressure, wooden floor. Everything was very clean. Loved the character. The heating works fine.
The common areas— kitchen was clean and had all the essentials needed; dining and lounge areas were clean and cosy. And there was free flow of tea each day, and during the reception’s opening hours, it serves hot beverages and doubles as a small café. Nice, casual vibe.
Excellent location— two tram stops away from the main train station. It’s a short walk from the tram stop. Short tram ride to the Old City and the riverside. Supermarkets, both Coop and Migros, the two main chains in Switzerland— with walking distance.
Staff was very friendly, warm, spontaneous and helpful.
Interesting building— the hostel is located within a lovely repurposed, mixed-purpose community-centric block. Adds to the friendly, casual vibe.

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
