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.

A good hostel, the price includes a really great breakfast, and a pass for public transport in Basel during your stay. Everything is clean. There is no kitchen, but there is an electric kettle, and you can leave food in the refrigerator in the dining room, having previously asked about it at the reception. There are lockers, but they are closed with a coin of 2 francs, there is no other way. The location is excellent, within walking distance from the center, considering that they give a pass - perfect!

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!

The hotel is a bit far from the station, and there are slopes and steps, which makes it inconvenient to drag luggage. You have to make your own bed sheets and quilts in the room, and the quilts are too small to operate on the bed. The shower is timed and you need to stop the water and press it again. The breakfast is not bad.
