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.

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!

I was there for work, I was staying in a capsule on the 3rd floor and it was really great overall ! The bathroom were mostly clean, except when other users where dirty but the hotel can't do anything about it. The rooms and the dormitories were very clean too, and I thought I would be too hot in the capsule but it was quite ok ! The only thing missing is a space to hang your towel to dry, I put mine on a door of a locker that was not used but I was lucky. The staff is also very nice !! Too bad the common room was used for an "Art Basel" exhibition, I could have used the tables to work, especially on the "opening" evening where it was too crowded to work peacefully.

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.

Stayed here for 1 night during a family trip. 2 bedroomed apartment had what we needed for the night. Felt secure with digital locks to the main building entrance, and room entrance. Clean and tidy. Business advertises on booking com as having parking available, but this is just street parking and there aren’t many spaces. I had to park a block away.

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.
