Very bright, clean and modern rooms. Comfortable bed, didn't hear any noise from the street or neighbouring rooms. The breakfast was delicious, the stuff was very friendly and fast. Conveniently located about 15 mins from airport and next to the old center. Basel card included in the room stay is a big plus. The hotel is not huge which makes the stay so much more pleasant. Good air-conditioning.

⭐ 5/5 – An Amazing Stay at Basel Youth Hostel I didn’t expect to be this impressed by a hostel, but Basel Youth Hostel really delivered. From the moment I arrived, I noticed how clean, spacious, and well-maintained everything was—it instantly felt comfortable. What truly stood out was the thick walls—finally, a hostel where you don’t hear everything through paper-thin dividers! It made a huge difference in sleep quality after a long journey. And the floor heating? A game-changer. That little touch made the space feel extra cozy, especially on colder days. Everything about my stay felt smooth and effortless, allowing me to just focus on enjoying Basel. If you’re looking for a place where you can rest properly, feel at ease, and trust that everything is well taken care of, this is it. Highly recommend!

It was a very satisfying stay for us. Right from the check-in, everything was perfect here. Special mention about Katie at the reception who was very courteous, helpful and friendly, and also got our room ready well ahead of our check-in time. The best value for money option in Basel, with amazing access to public transport, museums and all the hotspots (it's right opposite Basel Bad station and the tram stop for tram lines 2 & 6 that take you to the centre and beyond). The room was chic, big, convenient, had a nespresso machine, a lovely bath and a balcony overlooking the train station. The lobby also played 90s rock music 24/7, which I loved. There's no staff post 3 pm at the front desk, but it was safe going in and out with the access card. Overall, a perfect stay in the lovely city of Basel. I would definitely go back.

Everything. Spacious, fully-equipped studio with a cosy hotel lobby downstairs, all in a quiet quarter with great eateries (check Klara 13 food market, pan-Asian Lily's Maxim, and Kitchen Focacceria) and lovely riverside walks. Also, close to a tram hub too with the old town across the river. You cannot go wrong with this one, seriously.

Lovely hotel. We regret we couldn't stay longer (one night stay only), the room was spotless and very spacious as well as the bathroom (shower&bath). Great location - a few minutes from the airport by free shuttle service. There is also a bus stop right beside the hotel. It takes only 12 minutes to get to the city centre/SBB train station. Smiley and friendly staff - we had a nice conversation with Dominic who checked us in, right person at the right place :)
