Overall Ratings & Reviews Hyve Hostel Basel

Returned from full day of sightseeing, FOB didn’t work (10:30 PM). No one answered call via call button. Thankfully, fellow guest let me in. WiFi is complete rubbish in common areas. Groceries were discarded prior to my departure (staff gave me complimentary salad-yum!). No electrical outlets/USB by beds. And, yes beds are RIGHT next to each other-bit weird. Pros? Place is clean, good location, nice vibe and staff are helpful. Free metro pass. Skip overpriced breakfast! (Hopefully, you won’t get room 25. Long stay resident with ticking clock-you’ll feel like you’re in Peter Pan’s Neverland.)

Modern, clean, staff were helpful and kind, and moderately inexpensive. The only negative was the walls were thin which we had loud neighbors the first night but it was a great place to stay.

Good nice hostel. Just 200m from the train station and tram stop. Very convenient. Like the Basel tourist card. Nice hostel lobby and free coffee and communal kitchen. Will definitely come back to stay here.

Excellently equipped kitchen, super easy to get to from train station, beautifully decorated common areas, good value on good variety breakfast if you want to purchase it (optional). If you have never stayed in a hostel, stay in this one and you will not be disappointed, promise. I've been budgeting traveling for three decades and I've seen just about everything. I really hated to leave Basel, and leaving this hostel was one of the reasons.

Overall, nice hostel with great service, location, and perks. My only issue..none of the bunk beds have individual outlets (which is quite important to me and usually a standard amenity). Otherwise, lovely experience.

Nice and quiet neighborhood, reasonable price for a breakfast buffet, convenient location as close to train station. Just the front desk didn't bother to tell me how to operate the blinds, luckily I figured that out by myself.

Everything is perfect. The room is very nice. This hostel is the best I have ever stayed. Staffs are very kind and helpful. However only one girl staff is not friendly compared with the others.

Great location,price,breakfast,all staff pretty relaxed and helpful

muggy and hot, toilets and showers weren’t clean enough

Good Price for accommodations -- WiFi, laundry , kitchen -- shared bath

Very happy for this hostel experience in an urban environment -- when we arrived the bathrooms needed cleaning and this may have been due to the federal holiday -- later, all bathrooms were cleaner -- rest of the facilities very clean --- nice, private room for our family, helpful staff, kitchen and laundry available -- reasonably priced breakfast

Clotse to the train station, very clean, comfortable room and good mattress. Very good quality for the price.

The staff was great. The city I'd beautiful, the hostel is well thought out, clean, and pleasant. Only complaint, not enough electrical outlets in the dorms. Overall a great experience, though. I would absolutely recommend generation ymca!

No AC, but it's not really necessary. Staff is extra helpful and the location is only a 5 minute walk from the main train station. The kitchen facilities and other common areas are incredible-- stylish and spacious. They really thought of everything.

Check in was good. The dorm was ok, was a room with a bunk bed and one single bed, but would have liked a double. Showers were ok. Kitchen was nice as was the social area. Good wi-fi. The main downside was it was very noisy from 5 am which woke us up. Close to main railway station.

Good place to stay, Staff so friendly and good location.

This was our first time staying in a hostel, and it was really fun! The community spaces are stylish and inviting, and the staff helped us whenever we asked for anything. The room was a bit sparse and there is no air conditioning, so we were thankful for cooler weather. Room came with a Basel Card that would have given us free public transportation and discounts on area museums... this would be good to let travelers know beforehand, as it is a nice amenity.

This is the second time I've stayed at this hostel and its nice to know my last good experience wasn't a one off. Again the staff were very friendly and helpful, the common area chilled and the kitchen well equipped. The cleanliness of the room and bathrooms couldn't be faulted and the breakfast is good value for money. If back in Basel I'll use this place again.

The staff were lovely and friendly even though I only arrivedate and night and left early in the morning I enjoyed my stay. After 10hrs of travelling the common area is a very chilled place to unwind. Will definitely be staying there again. Good value for breakfast as well.

The stay was good. This is better than average hostel, the service is good, clean hostel, everything prepared for the coming. The common room area is very welcoming with the atmosphere and appearance. The WiFi is good, better than average, and the price for the service is fantastic.
