The food was minimalistic. There was no hot meal during breakfast. I think I would appreciate a warm omlett but also, I did not expect much considering the price.

Very friendly staff, great facilities and comfort. The location was beautiful, just superb!

The only thing i didn't like was the lights on the shower, it kept turning off after a few seconds of staying still, but apart from that, everything eas great

Everything was exceptional, from the sleeping quarters to the common area . It was a very good value for money

Great breakfast

Room took a little long to get ready (I arrived like 2 hours after check in time but they were only just preparing my bed and had to wait a few mins, but not a big deal, just slightly surprised as things in Switzerland are usually very punctual). For me location was good, being next to river in a calm spot, but for others it might be a little out of the way, you do get a free Basel transport card though if you don't wanna walk much. Only other thing was you have to make your own bed and throw the sheets into laundry basket after, but fine considering the price.

So when I first arrived I thought I'd come to the wrong place, this definitely has fancy hotel vibes rather than hostel ones. The free breakfast provided was great too, and really good value considering it's Switzerland (buffet options for mainly cold foods). Bathrooms were clean and plenty of showers available, sink in dorm room was a nice touch too. They have a games room downstairs too which I wasn't aware of until I had to leave. Use of lockers in dorm room (and also if you want to store stuff in luggage room before/after checkout) is free but just needs you to put a coin in that you'll get back (reception can exchange any notes you have for coins).

i was under the impression that towels would be provided.

Really good breakfast, very spacious, clean washrooms and bathrooms

Room is not so wider as expected while staying in the shared room. However, it is good aspect that everyone has separate light that does not disturb other friends living there. I am happy with this aspect as well.

I am very satisfied with the services provided me in terms of delicious breakfast, clean room and corridor. I really appreciate and suggest people to stay here at Youth Hostel Basel if anybody asks me.

It is great in terms of design, but when it comes to cleanliness it is pretty standard. Not many things in the room, so pretty basic. For two people we got only three towels, and anything else is a subject to paying more at the reception (even a hair dryer)... Breakfast is pretty bad.

Love it.. Breakfast is good.. rooms are nice.. Perfect...

- Not many vegan options for the included breakfast - No bedside power socket only charging via USB - Bed felt uncomfortable

- Nice location - Friendly and helpful staff - Clean - Free public transport although I'm on a motorcycle - Free motorcycle parking - Originally booked a 6 person shared room but it turned out there were no more beds available so they bumped me up to a 4 person shared room which was a nice gesture.

Bed mattresses were too saggy. It was too hot and they didn’t even have a fan. It was too difficult to sleep in such hot weather. I am not saying that a hostel should have AC but at least a fan should be available.

Faculty was clean and staff was really cooperative.

The building is new and clean. The staff was friendly and the breakfast was amazing.

Very nice lobby design and terrace , great to hang out

It has been set up as an industrial design hostel which some people might adore, but it does take out a bit of the cozyness

There is so much space in this hostel! And the breakfast is great. Quite costly, but that is Switzerland for ya…

Single room was 4 bunk beds which weren’t too comfortable. No drinking glass. Felt expensive but then it’s Switzerland

Excellent breakfast. Good location. Helpful staff

Too soft matress for our back. Light curtains which do not black the bedroom out.

Fantastic architecture and design. Lovely, charming and quiet neighbourhood. Feels like you're in the wild and yet in the city center. My favourite place to stay in Basel

It is no possible to go to the room before 3 p.m. Towel not included but available for a fee. You have to also pay the tourist tax for the stay and it is expensive. At breakfast, you have to pay to get hot beverage like espresso or cappuccino.. never seen.. if the breakfast is included , it is included.

Nice location, no far from the city center and from public transport but in a very quite area. The wifi works well in the room. The showers are outside from the room but are many, large and confortable. The room and the beds are ok. The breakfast is enough good.
