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.

Jag har bott pĂ„ detta vandrarhem en gĂ„ng tidigare och visste att jag inte kunde sova i den övre sĂ€ngen. Jag bad att dĂ€rför fĂ„ reservera undersĂ€ngen och blev jĂ€tteglad nĂ€r receptionisten sa att en undersĂ€ng var reserverad till mig. JĂ€ttestort plus! Incheckningen Ă€r smidig, personalen mestadels trevlig och hjĂ€lpsam och helt okej kostnadsfri frukost. FörvaringsskĂ„pen Ă€r stora nog Ă„t bĂ„de en KĂ„nkenryggsĂ€ck och en medelstor resvĂ€ska. Detta Ă€r toppen! LĂ€get i Basel Ă€r Ă€ven det bra. Jag var i Basel för julmarknaden denna gĂ„ng och det Ă€r en 10 minuters promenad. Denna gĂ„ng fick jag dessutom dela rum med en vĂ€ldigt trevlig kvinna i min Ă„lder. Även om jag inte kunnat vĂ€lja rum för endast kvinnor har jag bĂ„da gĂ„ngerna jag besökt detta vandrarhem hamnat i rum med endast kvinnor. Det uppskattar jag jĂ€ttemycket.

Eurovision Song Contest

Jag Äkte till Basel för att uppleva ESC. Detta vandrarhem har ett jÀttebra lÀge i en mysig del av staden. Personalen jÀttetrevlig och hjÀlpsam. Bra frukost. Bra möjlighet till trygg förvaring av vÀskor innan incheckning och efter utcheckning. Stora, lÄsbara skÄp i rummen dÀr bÄde en stor resvÀska samt KÄnken-ryggsÀck fÄr plats. Framförallt kÀnde jag mig vÀldigt trygg pÄ detta vandrarhem. Det Àr det absolut viktigaste för mig nÀr jag bor pÄ vandrarhem. Enda negativa var sÀngarna. Jag kunde inte sova i övre sÀngen med undre sÀngen gick utan problem sÄ om jag vet att jag kan fÄ den undre sÀngen skulle jag absolut bo hÀr igen.

Belle découverte à Bùle

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