Basel Backpack
Dornacherstrasse 192, 4053 Basel, Switzerland – Great location - show map
Hostel felt really cozy. I stayed for 1 night. Even for a short time I felt the comfort. The design of the hostel is open to socialize, common areas are well decorated. It was my first hostel experience and i really enjoyed.

The Basel Backpack is housed in a renovated historic factory, only 10 minutes from Basel’s main train station. The Basel Mobility Ticket (free public transportation) is included in the rates. Wi-Fi is available free of charge. The Basel Backpack offers pleasant accommodations in an urban loft style in the Gundeldinger Feld neighborhood. Shared bathrooms with showers are located next to the rooms. The wheelchair-accessible Basel Backpack also features a kiosk and a washing machine with a dryer. The Bar-Café PriMateria serves snacks and refreshments from breakfast to a late cocktail. There is also a kitchen, where you can cook yourself, and vending machines for drinks and snacks. The next tram stop is just 110 yards away from the Basel Backpack.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.8 for a two-person trip.
