  Liked: A few minutes away from Basel SSB (~10' walk, 5' bike). The hotel is very clean and the decoration is definitely welcoming. Basel Backpack is my go-to hotel when I travel to Basel, great quality at an unbeatable price

  Cosy Hostel in Basel

  Liked: It was a very spacious room for 2. Multiple Showers and toilets make it easy for use without wait in the corridors. Very clean and comfortable beds. Staff was also helpful, check in & out was smooth with no issues.

  Disliked: Location wise isn’t the best but the free Basel card made it easy for us to travel to and from the hostel. It gets very dark at night especially when it’s a Sunday and the establishments are all closed.

  Liked: The vibe! It was a cosy but artistic vibe, with random designs that make sense together. The bed was very comfortable in the single room. Spacious room

  Disliked: I would love it if there were shampoos in the shower rooms, also when I wanted to pick up my luggage there was anumber to call but it was out of service.
