Recommended for young or old.

Cool "hipster" location, all good, like one should expect from a hostel. Transit pass a valuable plus. Recommended.

Room was okay but the the whole building and the floors were very smelly!!!! Bathroom on the floors were okay but downstairs by the lobby was dirty.

2/10 Poor

I paid for a queen single bed room but was given a family room with 4 bunk beds. I was struggling with power outlets to charge my phones because of not enough of them around my bed. Was way different than what was shown during booking. Had to checkout and walk to Basel SBB station early morning hours like around 5:30 to 6 but did not feel safe.

Personel çok yardımcı oldu. Havaalanı öncesinde valizimi de emanet olarak bırakmama izin verdiler. Temizlik çok iyi, sessiz, çok güzel bir mini kampüs içinde. Merkeze ve ulaşım güzergahına yakın. Özellikle tercih edecekler için yakında Türk market ve restoranları da var.

Supert.

Beliggenhet i gåavstand fra Basel SBB.Deilig for oss som kom med tog om natten.Hostellet befinner seg i en rolig lukket sidegade med cafeér.Kom sent på kvelden og sjekket oss selv inn. Gikk greit.Meget pent og rent overalt.God seng. Negativt er at det var svært at lese informasjonen til hvordan vi skulle sjekke inn, da det var relativt mørkt i gården foran hostellet.Det annet var at vinduet på værelset ikke kunne åpnes. Samlet et riktig koselig, rent og pent hostell til pengene.

Die Unterkunft war sehr angenehm. Die Musik von der Disco um die Ecke bis nach 5 Uhr morgens war zu viel. um nicht zu sagen eine Zumutung.

Ausstattung vom Hotel

WC und Duschen außerhalb vom Zimmer. Auf dem Weg nach oben mit den Treppen zu den Zimmern sieht man alte Badewanne aufgehängt an der Wand. WC Innenraum nicht so schön.

Ok, Küche und Dusche sind nicht einladend.

Die Küche war alles andere als Sauber, kann aber auch an den anderen Gästen liegen. In meinem Zimmer gab es keinen Schreibtisch, allerdings konnte mit das Hotelpersonal Ersatz bieten. Die Duschen wollte ich nicht benutzen, da diese nicht sehr einladend aussahen und mich persönlich angeekelt haben. Sonst war der Aufenthalt aber OK, man kriegt für was man bezahlt.

Prices do not match on hotels.com and hotel

At check-in the cc for booking was not charged, so I had to pay a higher price than on the booking confirmation: CHF 33 instead of CHF 29. Should be some additional guest tax?

Übernachten in stylisch-künstlerischer Umgebung

Schneller Check-In, freundlicher Empfang • sauberes Zimmer, gepflegte Gemeinschafts-WC/Duschen, WLAN • kein Parkplatz, kein Lift, kein TV im Doppelzimmer • Fazit: Wer nicht viele Ansprüche hat, übernachtet hier gut

Endroit atypique. Bien desservi au niveau du tram à côté. A 15min à pied environ de la gare. Petit bémol pour moi, le check-in trop tard, à partir de 16h. Nous aurions pu bénéficier de la Baselcard plus tôt et poser nos sacs. C'est dommage.

Angenehmer Aufenthalt

Bequemes Bett, aber ein Sichtschutz zwischen den Hochbetten und dimmbare Lampen wären super. Frühstück könnte noch etwas reichhaltiger sein. Das Hostel war sehr sauber und viele liebevolle Details. Super Lage. Der Empfang war auch sehr nett.

Ideal für Städtereisen in Basel. Tramstation direkt vor dem Hotel. Zweckmässige Einrichtung.
