The apartment was amazing, spacious, cozy and had everything you might need! The location is also perfect, and even though it’s next to the main train station, not loud at all!

The host was incredibly polite and friendly. He patiently answered all of my questions. The bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen were all spotlessly clean. The kitchen supplies exceeded my expectations, with spices, teas, coffees, a coffee machine, numerous pots, wine glasses, and plates. You can cook any type of meal you desire. At the same time, there are multiple supermarkets within a 5-minute walking distance. The street was very quiet at night. Despite being an old building, we slept very comfortably at night. Moreover, you can reach the city center in just 5 minutes by tram number 3. It's a fantastic place to stay in Basel. Additionally, the internet worked very well. PS: You can let your bags earlier than check-in time. This flexibility is very important when traveling with backpacks. Thank you for everything.

⭐ 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!

This bnb is actually in a very relaxed part of Basel, and it's a very nice place to stay overnight. 😊 We loved the fact that the city of Basel granted this hotel to print out the Basel card in our name so we could make use of public transportation and have a reduction on museum visits. Our room was spacious and light with a hammock as a lovely extra. And two comforters on the double bed, just like home 👌 The staff were all very friendly and forthcoming. The breakfast was basic, but the bread was fresh and delightful. Also not expensive in comparison to the Swiss prices in general.

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.
