Exceptionally nice hotel at a good price. The room was small but very well designed. Everything you touch in this hotel feels like quality. Very friendly reception. My room facing the garden side was very quiet at night. Great location within two blocks of the city center and only one (free) bus stop from the central station.

I booked this hostel super last-minute after WizzAir randomly denied me boarding — they claimed I asked for a refund (which I *definitely* didn’t). Total chaos. Found this place quickly and honestly, it was such a lucky find! At reception, there was this guy — I think his name was Vadim (sorry if I got it wrong, I was kinda stressed out) — and he was *so* kind. Seriously, he helped calm me down just by being nice. I’d stayed at another branch of this hostel before in Baden where I had to rent a towel, but Vadim just gave me one for free. After an expensive travel hiccup, that small gesture meant a lot. It reminded me that there *are* still good people out there. That night, I ended up having the whole room to myself (major win!), bed was already made, and I just passed out. Shared bathroom and shower were clean and totally fine. Breakfast in the morning was simple but filling. The location? Super convenient. All in all, I loved it. Clean, comfy, chill vibes, and amazing staff. Huge shoutout to Vadim — you made a rough night so much better. Would 100% stay again!

It was a very satisfying stay for us. Right from the check-in, everything was perfect here. Special mention about Katie at the reception who was very courteous, helpful and friendly, and also got our room ready well ahead of our check-in time. The best value for money option in Basel, with amazing access to public transport, museums and all the hotspots (it's right opposite Basel Bad station and the tram stop for tram lines 2 & 6 that take you to the centre and beyond). The room was chic, big, convenient, had a nespresso machine, a lovely bath and a balcony overlooking the train station. The lobby also played 90s rock music 24/7, which I loved. There's no staff post 3 pm at the front desk, but it was safe going in and out with the access card. Overall, a perfect stay in the lovely city of Basel. I would definitely go back.

Everything was good. It is located in a calm area, but few minutes away from the tram stop. Also you can easily reach the city center by walk. Basel city card was a nice addition, allowing free transport and museum discounts. Kitchen equipment was good. Room was clean.

The hotel is in a fantastic location, within walking distance of the city's main attractions and the main railway station. It's also very easy to reach from the EuroAirport via Bus 50, which conveniently stops at the railway station. The room was spacious and well-equipped with everything you might need, and the beds were exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. The breakfast was another highlight, offering a wide variety of options to suit every taste. I highly recommend this hotel for its convenience, comfort, and excellent service!
