Hyve - meet, sleep, work and eat!

One of the few affordable things in Basel is this brilliant hostel. I had one of the private rooms with shared bath and shower. EVERYTHING was tiptop - quality is evident everywhere, including the showers, oh my goodness what fantastic showers. Fixtures, water pressure, even the towels are amazing. Bed is SUPER comfortable and my room was incredibly quiet. I'd stay here in a heartbeat.

Have stayed here a few times and am a big fan. For families travelling together, it's great to have the option of one hotel room with multiple bedrooms around a shared living room with large balcony. They've obviously gone to great lengths to keep the prices as low as possible. The room was perfectly clean and comfortable, but some features were just a bit too cheap - the mini fridge didn't close, the hairdryer didn't heat, there's not sun shading for the main window so the room overheats to an extreme degree in summer. As is standard in Switzerland, this hotel has no air-conditioning so gets very hot in summer. The team is always so welcoming, efficient and effortlessly makes you feel at home. The family-oriented spaces are in a separate building to the hostel-format rooms, so noise or passersby at night was never an issue.

Not good value for money. I took a capsule, which was the only thing left that night. It sucks. No space in the room for large luggage, and the room felt very unpersonal. You don't even know if someone else is here. Inside didn't have an electric plug, only usb outlet, which didn't work. Breakfast was not included, had to pay 14F extra, which was a joke for the poor quality of the breakfast. All this was like 85 swiss francs, which is by far the most expensive hostel night I have ever spent, in any country. No one at reception, only an ipad to check-in. They don't even give you a keycard, it's all by codes to type in on the doors. Really annoying. Disappointinng place! Silo hostel, on the other side of town is much cheaper and better.

Not the best hostel bunk bed/room and WC but it was okay for the price. The rest of the facilities were great. Also very near to Central Station and Tram stop. They had free luggage room that was a plus!

First of all, I loved the common area. Even though it was a bit busy during Eurovision week, I just wanted a cozy place to sit. The reception was incredibly helpful and supportive, especially since I arrived way too early! The hostel is comfy, easy to find, within walking distance to station, well-connected by public transport, and a quiet street. The other day, breakfast wasn’t available shortened staff, the manager kindly stepped in and made it happen. It turned out to be a lovely breakfast with access to everything on the table—all for just €14!

Such a horrible customer service! Because of the ungodly hour arrival at the station and a freezing train station, I have decided to stay for few hours in this hotel while waiting for the next train. It is already 1am, thus I have made the booking on the spot. Unfortunately, I booked the wrong date (as it is already the next day am), and I should have booked the previous date instead. Not only the staff not allowing me to check in (fine), i asked to just let me in to avoid the freezing temperature outside. They just said UNFORTUNATELY, they cannot. That is ridiculous. Rule is rule, but please have some human sense for another human being. Live a bit more!

Great location, reception staff just a bar worker behind the desk and often is not there, not very social and USB sockets beside bed don’t work. Shared a six bed female dorm. Felt very safe as you need a code to access room. Bedding clean, towels fresh everyday. Shared three showers between whole hall of people but didn’t wait in any queues.

very clean hostel catering more for digital nomads and business travellers. facilities are good, but the key code system for the door was frustrating. common area is huge so people tended to spread out so it was hard to socialise in. Organised social events didnt have much interest and didnt seem to occur.
