The hotel's location is very convenient, but it didn't have a air conditioner.At that time, it was very hot in Basel.So,I had a very tough night.

I had a wonderful stay in this hostel. Love the dormitory room layout where it separates the lockers & pantry with the beds. Beautiful green view from the room.

I had a pretty good experience staying at Basel Youth Hostel. The location is convenient, with easy access to public transport and just a short walk to the city center and the Rhine river. The building is modern, clean, and well-designed, with a nice mix of comfort and functionality. The staff were friendly and helpful, and check-in was smooth. My room was tidy and quiet, with comfortable beds and good storage space. I also appreciated the free Wi-Fi and the availability of common areas to relax or get some work done. Breakfast was simple but fresh and satisfying — a good start to the day. I also liked the eco-friendly approach the hostel takes, which added to the overall positive impression. Would definitely recommend it to budget travelers looking for a safe, clean, and well-located place to stay in Basel!

It was hot….i mean super hot and ventilation was non existent. I also have a leg problem and was given a room with only a top bunk. I found a way to make it work. It was one night only. Bright spot was lovely breakfast at 6am which was a nice treat.  It is difficult to find the hostel unless you know what you’re looking for.
