I think this people are dishonest.
They made me pay twice at the check in, although I showed them my payment confirmation email and when I came back because of hotel.com debit on my account they pretended that everything was normal and it's only when I came back with proof of two payments that they admitted their mistaken and they didn't even apologize, they were acting like it was usual.
Also there was a city tax not announced in the reservation.
Returned from full day of sightseeing, FOB didnโt work (10:30 PM). No one answered call via call button. Thankfully, fellow guest let me in. WiFi is complete rubbish in common areas. Groceries were discarded prior to my departure (staff gave me complimentary salad-yum!). No electrical outlets/USB by beds. And, yes beds are RIGHT next to each other-bit weird. Pros? Place is clean, good location, nice vibe and staff are helpful. Free metro pass. Skip overpriced breakfast! (Hopefully, you wonโt get room 25. Long stay resident with ticking clock-youโll feel like youโre in Peter Panโs Neverland.)

The hostel is very nice, the BaselCard is great. Free coffee, tea and juice in the morning. Nice kitchen as well. My only complaint is that the toilet paper was only replaced in the morning and usually it finished very fast.
Bel posto, molto curato con tante piante e arredamento caldo in legno. Il personale molto amichevole e gentile.
Ho dormito in una stanza condivisa e anche quella รจ dotata di tanti confort per garantire comunque la privacy, ho dormito molto bene entrambe le notti!
In generale ci sono tanti piccoli dettagli pensati bene.
I prezzi della colazione per un italiano sono un poโ alti ma hanno delle ottime cose fatte in casa e sono in linea con i prezzi di Basilea.
Vi var pรฅ gjennomreise og trengte et hotell nรฆrt stasjonen. Dette var perfekt. Vi fikk en liten leilighet med to soverom (ikke kjรธkken) og bad. Litt gammelt og slitt, men perfekt beliggenhet i forhold til stasjonen. Rolig omrรฅde. Meget hyggelig betjening og fine fellesarealer. Felles kjรธkken der man kan lage mat.
Gostei do fato do hostel ser perto do trem e fรกcil de chegar (e do รดnibus que vai para o aeroporto): basta pegar uma reta a partir da porta dos fundos do SBB,
A mocinha que me atendeu foi sempre muito gentil e atenciosa na hora de conceder as informaรงรตes.
Pedi para reservar a cama do andar tรฉrreo da beliche e quando cheguei a cama estava lรก reservada. Isso foi importante para mim.
Poder usar a cozinha รฉ bacana.
O hostel รฉ limpo, confortรกvel e tem armรกrio para poder guardar a bagagem.
Uma coisa que observei foi: no site dos hoteis.com o horรกrio do ingresso no hostel รฉ um e lรก (a partir das 15 horas) รฉ outro. Isso nรฃo chegou a ser um problema, pois existe um quarto onde nรณs hรณspedes colocamos a bagagem para em seguida partimos para o passeio.
Outra coisa bem legal รฉ vocรช se hospeda na cidade e ganha um cartรฃo para poder usar o transporte pรบblico em Basel sem precisar se desfazer dos seus francos suรญรงos; cortesia da cidade.
Modern, clean, staff were helpful and kind, and moderately inexpensive. The only negative was the walls were thin which we had loud neighbors the first night but it was a great place to stay.

Hallo
Ich war zum ersten mal in einem
Hostel und sehr positiv รผberrascht! Sauber, Super nette Dame beim Check In, Kรผche zum kochen, Suuuper geschlafen trotz 8 Bett Zimmer also nur zu frieden und jetzt unterwegs zum Flughafen. Ich empfehle es jedem! Goran
Perfekt beliggenhed i forhold til tog og Flixbus. Rent og lรฆkkert. Okay morgenmad. Elsker Basel kortet, som giver 50% rabat i bla. Zoo og med bus og sporvogn.

Nรฅr man bare skal have en seng at sove i
Man fรฅr en seng pรฅ en sovesal, og sรฅ er det ikke godt at vide, hvem eller hvor mange, man skal sove sammen med.
Pรฅ min sovesal var der en anden dansker, der ligesom jeg stort set ingenting sagde, sรฅ det var fint nok.
Ellers ville jeg nok sige, at det kunne vรฆre en smule utrygt at sove sammen med en masse mennesker, man slet ikke kender.
Jeg var der kun en nat.
Er man en familie eller en gruppe venner, og man kan fรฅ sovesalen for sig selv, er det en billig mรฅde at overnatte pรฅ.
Morgenmaden er ikke inkluderet i prisen.
Good nice hostel. Just 200m from the train station and tram stop. Very convenient. Like the Basel tourist card. Nice hostel lobby and free coffee and communal kitchen. Will definitely come back to stay here.
Excellently equipped kitchen, super easy to get to from train station, beautifully decorated common areas, good value on good variety breakfast if you want to purchase it (optional). If you have never stayed in a hostel, stay in this one and you will not be disappointed, promise. I've been budgeting traveling for three decades and I've seen just about everything. I really hated to leave Basel, and leaving this hostel was one of the reasons.
Posizionato strategicamente per raggiungere la stazione in pochi minuti a piedi. Biglietto autobus, valido anche per l'aeroporto, incluso nel prezzo.

Overall, nice hostel with great service, location, and perks. My only issue..none of the bunk beds have individual outlets (which is quite important to me and usually a standard amenity). Otherwise, lovely experience.
