We were usung public transport and this hotel was perfect. It is only a 2 minute walk from the Central Station. Plus there was a tram 1/2 block from the hotel that took you downtown. We were given a “Basel Card” which gave us free transport, even to the airport.
In addition, what was called a continental breakfast was much more. Scrambled eggs, bacon, yogurt, various breads and an excellent coffee machine were all included.

Guest UserStayed here twice, and both times were fantastic. It's only a 3-minute walk from the train station, the breakfast is good, and the service from the staff, especially the guy with the healing smile, was wonderful. The rooms are also spacious.

We were just passing through. It's a clean hotel with friendly staff. It was a hot day, so they took a window to our room. You don't have to pay for that. Everything else in the hotel was a bit pricey. But we had a great night!

The room was ok and the hotel is very well located.
Two issues: the staff is easily overwhelmed, make sure you have an abundance of time to check out and the restaurants in the street are extremely noisy. We were quite high in the hotel and it was impossible to get some rest before late in the night.
I understand this is not something the hotel can manage, but it is a piece of information I would have liked to have before booking.
Overall, a little pricy.

Anonymous UserThe room was decent and offered good value for the price, especially the 1.6-meter bed which is rare at this price point.
On the first day, there was a slight perfume smell in the room which I personally wasn't a fan of, but it dissipated quickly after turning on the air conditioning.
As for breakfast, by Swiss standards, it was quite good. The serving hours were long enough that even late risers could still enjoy it.
After booking, the email confirmation was almost instantaneous. We arrived in the early hours of the morning, but thankfully the front desk is 24-hour, so we were able to check in smoothly even in the middle of the night, which was a huge plus.
The cleanliness was impeccable; the whole place was very tidy.
The complimentary Basel Card was incredibly useful and saved us a lot on public transport.

FoddyTravelsGreat hotel and position! The only downside was the bathroom did emit a smell. It wasn't overpowering, just not pleasant. It's okay when the bathroom door is shut but still there when you open it. It didn't bother me a lot but it may be something others find uncomfortable. Otherwise, a great hotel with friendly staff and very comfortable.

Anna801Basel is very small, just a 15-minute walk from the city center. This hotel is located on the edge of the city center, making it especially convenient for walking and public transportation. There is a beautiful lady at the front desk, gentle and polite. The room size is probably okay in Europe. Although the facilities are not new, they are very clean. There are capsule coffee in the room and the toiletries are provided by L'Occitane. The hotel is across the road from the Rhine, and there is a street behind the hotel similar to the bustling weekend market.

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!
