Had a really lovely 1 night stay at this thoughtful but relaxed hostel. Beautiful modern architecture, spotlessly clean, friendly and helpful staff, amazing breakfast in a relaxing lounge room, very well connected to public transport to easily get into the city centre. The breakfast is superb because the ingredients are all 10/10 top quality and healthy, and 1 barista coffee is included. As with all Basel hostels, you get a free BaselCard here that gives you free unlimited public transport use for 3 days, and museum discounts. I read that they have free bikes for guests but I didn’t use them. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Our room was small but excellent, quiet, clean and comfortable. The bed was a bit soft for us however we loved the two duvets, the separate toilet and shower areas and the big window. The staff were all amazing, from receptionist to the bar tender and wait staff in the restaurant! We highly recommend their breakfast buffet.

The services were even better than I had imagined: everything was very clean, very efficient and I was provided with all the things that I needed. The location was ideal, some minutes away walking distance from the cental train station as well as from a public transport stop for the city center. The staff was extremely polite with me and amazingly helpful to all the requests of mine. I would totally recommend it and stay there again!

This was a very clean, decent hotel and for a pretty good price by Swiss standards. The room was spotless and the bathroom seemed newly renovated with a powerful, warm shower. The location was a 15min walk from old town and around 25 from the sbb which was fine for me but there are trams nearby if you don't fancy it.

Really good location, ideal to cut through into town. Property was spotlessly clean. Good correspondence with the owner, who was very helpful and answered questions promptly. Would highly recommend this place when visiting Basel.
