Hostels in Canton of Basel-Stadt

Basel Youth Hostel (Jugendherberge Basel) is a modern conversion of what was originally a factory building dating from 1850s. It's close to the Rhein, and about 15 min on foot from the Kunstmuseum tram stop (and the Altstadt), or 20 min on foot from the main railway station (Bahnhof Basel SBB). Expect the standard hostel experience for the price, but I must add that the included buffet breakfast was excellent. Remember to factor this in if comparing hostel prices in Basel :-).

Perfect in every way. Friendly welcoming staff. Clean comfortable rooms. Great facilities & vibe. One of the best hostels I've stayed at in Europe.

Facility and what youth hostel can offer is the best and reasonable price. Location is near the beautiful area + paper mill museum and Basel city wall. Not far from the river.

Such an exceptional dormitory I've ever stayed.. Loved the mood and interior, amazing homemade bread and granola..! No other hostel competes with here of the same price.

It’s an architectural masterpiece. A really interesting space. Also functional as a co-working/office space too that doesn’t get in the way of your stay. Staff were lovely as well. Overall quality was amazing, the best hostel we’ve stayed in. It’s more akin to a hotel that has hostel rooms, but still has a chic hostel vibe to it.

Great location, safe bike storage and air conditioned room

This an amazing place! I haven’t stayed in hostels for a long time, but as I am on the road for a month it seemed a good idea. So positively surprised. Everything is so clean and feels solid. The beds, sheets, towels, are very proper, clean are of good quality, as are the bathrooms. Great light common spaces. The building is quite calm and sound proof. Calm ‘mature’ guests. Slept like a baby here. Location is convenient next to the station, enough resto’s, coffee and supermarket around the corner. Breakfast is good, staff responsive.

It was very clean and tidy, the staff were so friendly and accomodating. The boss Georges, was a great help and loves to have a laugh. The property is in a great location, very central. The facilities were fantastic; the kitchen, dinning area, outdoor patio were all very spacious and clean, had plenty of board games too and a pool table room downstairs. We had a king bed that was the most comfortable hostel bed I’ve had in a very big/spacious double room.

Amazing for a youth hostel! Staff were friendly and helpful, beds were very comfortable, bathrooms were immaculately clean. Building is beautiful inside and out and it's a great location too (very close to the amazing Basel Paper Museum!).
