One of the best hostels I’ve stayed at. Not social, but amazing quality and worth the price - the rooms are spacious, the bathrooms are large with great showers, and everything is so clean. The breakfast is amazing also! Simple, but so good - freshly baked bread, good cheeses, homemade müsli and jam etc. It is right next to the Basel Bad station, and you can be at Basel SBB in 20 minutes with the tram/bus And the staff is so nice and helpful. Would definitely recommend:))

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.
