"Pros: The staff was kind. Room was spacious. It's good to have a somewhat (by Swiss standards) affordable option for a stay in Basel. There is a good public transportation connection right next to the hostel. There is a free public transportation pass for any stay in Basel, and the hotel reservation can be used for the transfer from the airport to the hotel/hostel, so that was great (not specific to this hostel, but any hotel/hostel in Basel). Cons: Not a big fan of shared bathrooms, nevertheless there was enough bathrooms and they were clean. Small irritants: A male guest just in loose undies making use of the facilities, not a good looking one either. Not sure where the blow-drier mentioned in the description was to be found, just hand soap in the way of toiletries. Sound isolation not that great + families with small children making full use of their developing lungs, but luckily not during the night. But overall no major complaints." ~Inga

"Pros: 10 mins walk to Basel SBB, 3 mins to tram stop, bus stop to zoo just at entrance, most of the supermarkets nearby, beautiful house with balcony and special thanks to Ladina and Michelle who are very nice and took care of all of our needs! Cons: Nothing" ~Krushna
