Highly recommend. Great location, very clean

Location was great. Right near the river. 20min walk to train station. Staff was really nice. Hostel was very clean. The rooms were big enough and very clean as well. Breakfast was very good. Only annoying thing is that you have to pay for a towel. But overall one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in.

Belle découverte à Bâle

Chambre double très propre et confortable, mais plus petite que l'impression donnée par les photos. J'ai adoré le style industriel du bâtiment, mais il faut admettre que c'est assez écho avec tout ce béton. Heureusement pour nous, c'était très calme lors de notre séjour. Petit déjeuner inclus fort bienvenu. J'y retournerai lors de mes prochains séjours à Bâle.
