The room was really spacious and so were the bathrooms. Super super clean, up to swiss standards. The towels are included, which is great for people that travel light. Bathroom also had some shareable toiletries just in case you forgot something. There are two common rooms to hang out with fridge and kettle for your use. Breakfast is great and fresh. They include a free pass for buses and trams which is really convenient. Plus the staff is really helpful (they were very patient with me on my checkout day).

It was very clean, welcoming and easy to get to. Basel is an expensive city, but the price was quite fair given this. They also had great resources for people visiting as solo travelers to the city. Also good wifi.

Nice hostel, we stayed as a family in one of the 5-person dorms. Very nice location for visiting Basel zoo, and excellent breakfast. the location is cool built in an old factory. The shared facilities were clean and guests friendly.

I had a few hour connection in Basel. I thought since it is so cheap I am going into a scam, but it was very decent comfortable and worth the price.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Basel Youth Hostel (Jugendherberge Basel) is a modern conversion of what was originally a factory building dating from 1850s. It's close to the Rhein, and about 15 min on foot from the Kunstmuseum tram stop (and the Altstadt), or 20 min on foot from the main railway station (Bahnhof Basel SBB). Expect the standard hostel experience for the price, but I must add that the included buffet breakfast was excellent. Remember to factor this in if comparing hostel prices in Basel :-).

    The hostel and its facilities are very well described. Very very close to the Banhof. I stayed in an 6-bed dormitory,: beds are large and the mattress was comfortable. Lockers are big enough to leave all your stuff, luggage included. One real towel is provided for free. In the bathrooms you can also find real hairdriers (not a silly thing especially if you are long-haired woman). The kitchen is well equipped and clean.

    Facility and what youth hostel can offer is the best and reasonable price. Location is near the beautiful area + paper mill museum and Basel city wall. Not far from the river.

    Amazing for a youth hostel! Staff were friendly and helpful, beds were very comfortable, bathrooms were immaculately clean. Building is beautiful inside and out and it's a great location too (very close to the amazing Basel Paper Museum!).
