I paid for a queen single bed room but was given a family room with 4 bunk beds. I was struggling with power outlets to charge my phones because of not enough of them around my bed. Was way different than what was shown during booking. Had to checkout and walk to Basel SBB station early morning hours like around 5:30 to 6 but did not feel safe.

Cool "hipster" location, all good, like one should expect from a hostel. Transit pass a valuable plus. Recommended.

Personel çok yardımcı oldu. Havaalanı öncesinde valizimi de emanet olarak bırakmama izin verdiler. Temizlik çok iyi, sessiz, çok güzel bir mini kampüs içinde. Merkeze ve ulaşım güzergahına yakın. Özellikle tercih edecekler için yakında Türk market ve restoranları da var.
