    I booked Hyve last minute since I needed to stay in Basil due to train delays. What a lifesaver! It's a 5 minute walk from the train station and not expensive for Switzerland. I booked a bunk and then quickly reached out since I needed to check in before they left for the night. The hostel responded immediately and even held a lower bunk for me. I checked in on line, so was able to enter the hostel and room using a code. I arrived right before midnight and left at 5am, so can only rate the bed which was good. FYI that the phone charger is imbedded in the bunk light. Also, clean bathroom and everything looked very nice. I highly recommend Hyve!

    I liked everything. Very clean, moderately quiet (depends on the number of visitors), the staff is polite and always ready to help (additionally, you can be reminded for the Basel card). Everything is arranged for the maximum convenience of residents (games, laundry, baggage room, kitchen, workplaces). 5 minutes to the railway station.

    I had to rearrange the booking at late hour due to another booking reservation not coming through. At that time I was tired, and on top of it obviously stressed. The reception team was absolutely amazing and understanding, helped me with check in despite reception out of hours, very welcoming, clear communicaton on further step. Very pleasant and dependable place to stay.

    The size of the cabinet inside the room is like a cubby for shoes. I just put all my valuables in a book bag and locked it up, and trusted at roommates won't take my suitcase lol.

    Very clean and friendly staff. Free towel!!! Big room.

    Better than typical hostels, possible to get private room for the normal price. Check in and check out possible to do online or by yourself. Accessible toilets for handicapped people. Not far from main train station. Recommended

    Lockers in room are somewhat loud, so be considerate when using while others are asleep. It was somewhat difficult to climb up to top bunk.

    Really wonderful hostel located just minutes walk away from SBB train station. Lockers available for storing your luggage before or after check-in or check-out. Very easy to complete self check-in. Really clean rooms, toilets, and showers. Spacious lockers within room. Laundry room and game room located downstairs. Beds are comfy and have personal USB slots & light. Bar and lounge located on ground floor with nice laid back vibe. Overall a really great experience, great value for what you spend.

    Recycle bins are not near the kicthen, but they are in a corner near the main entrance. If they were close to the kitchen, I'm sure guests would use them more. I would improve the clean-ups in the dining area. Some chips stays under a table for half a day.

    The hostel and its facilities are very well described. Very very close to the Banhof. I stayed in an 6-bed dormitory,: beds are large and the mattress was comfortable. Lockers are big enough to leave all your stuff, luggage included. One real towel is provided for free. In the bathrooms you can also find real hairdriers (not a silly thing especially if you are long-haired woman). The kitchen is well equipped and clean.

    Super easy to reach, in a nice location, that was shockingly quiet from city buzz.

    I wish I had seen that there were two types of single rooms, one of which does not have its own private bathroom/shower. I booked the one that didn't. It wasn't a deal breaker, it just wasn't super clear from booking.com. Also, there was a really intense clanging noise in the morning that I found was the cleaning crew in the next rooms. I tend to sleep on the later side, but it was very jarring. If you're an early riser, I can't imagine that being an issue. Things were very quiet otherwise.

    Easy to get in, to check in, and show yourself around. Nice that there was a cozy open cafe on the main level, and the terrace looked nice. I'm bummed I didn't order a pizza on site!

    we didn't know that de Basel card was free, they didn't send us properly so we paid for the museum when with the Basel card you are able to have a discount.

    we felt at home, very clean, the dining room was nice, big table, we will able to have breakfast together. quiet place, nice Guest, nice game room, my children enjoy.
