Review of Basel Youth Hostel

Reviewed May 18, 2017

This was our family's first experience staying in a youth hostel, we got a nice room to ourselves since we were a party of 4. the place is clean and peaceful. A travel card was provided as well for trams and buses in the city and that helped us save a lot when travelling.

Wonderful breakfast in the morning and you can reach various trams stations by foot within 7-10 minutes. You can also take a ferry ride to go across the Rhine River which is just outside the hostel, definitely something interesting to do and to enjoy the scenic view along the river. Also walking distance to various places of interest and restaurant areas.More

Excellent value double en suite room, even for the non-youths amongst us
I hadn´t even considered this, but I got very frustrated with overpriced hotels in Basel. I saw great reviews and that they had double en suite bedrooms. We were not disappointed! The building is old and charming, in a quiet location, and the room had views over threes and over a little stream. It is simply furnished but has everything you need (bring your soap though), clean and spacious. Breakfast was not luxurious but good and staff were very friendly and helpful. Our tip for next time: the Basel Tourism website has packages here that include tickets to exhibitions at the Fondation Beyeler, but you need to book through that website.

Comfortable hostel by the river
This was a clean and comfortable hostel (bathrooms seemed as though they had just been cleaned every time I went in them). Decent breakfast in the morning and you can reach various trams by foot within 7-10 minutes.

As affordable as Basel will get
If you've spent a lot of nights in hostels in Eastern Europe, as I have, you'll find this one a little expensive for what's on offer. However, this is Switzerland, and this is pretty much the best place you'll get in Basel for the budget(ish) traveller level. The building is big, and the rooms are airy, if a bit spartan. The breakfast was nice, and the showers, although not perfect, were warm. The hostel is pretty close to the tram network, which runs like clockwork (This is Switzerland here), and it's not too far from the station and the Rhine.

A nice hostel in Basel
This hostel is very spacious, has a cool design. The location is nice and quiet, near 2 tram stations that are convenient, and they provide a mobility ticket for your stay. Breakfast is nice, with some variety. The room I stayed in was a 4 bed shared room, it had a sink and locker area at the entrance. There was also a small green glass area next to the door, so you can actually see part of the room from the hallway. The bathroom and shower area was spacious and clean. The staff was very helpful. I had to change rooms and it was resolved easily (side note - if you stay in a shared room, take care of your hygiene and keep your shoes and clothes clean!).

Very comfortable and fair priced hostel
Booked a bed in the four bed room. Very comfortable bed, good shower facility down the hall. Wash basin in bedroom for cleaning teeth and shaving. Toilets also down the hall. Everywhere is clean and bright. The location is superb with a fast flowing stream running by the front and onwards into the Rhine. Good breakfast also included. I did remember to take a towel but had to borrow soap from a fellow guest, my fault for forgetting that this is a hostel after all. Could be mistaken for a swanky modern boutique hotel except for the bunk beds. 48 CHF per night Bed and Breakfast is not bad in a city that costs 100 CHF every time you turn around.
