Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The staff was kind. Room was spacious. It's good to have a somewhat (by Swiss standards) affordable option for a stay in Basel. There is a good public transportation connection right next to the hostel. There is a free public transportation pass for any stay in Basel, and the hotel reservation can be used for the transfer from the airport to the hotel/hostel, so that was great (not specific to this hostel, but any hotel/hostel in Basel).
Negative: Not a big fan of shared bathrooms, nevertheless there was enough bathrooms and they were clean. Small irritants: A male guest just in loose undies making use of the facilities, not a good looking one either. Not sure where the blow-drier mentioned in the description was to be found, just hand soap in the way of toiletries. Sound isolation not that great + families with small children making full use of their developing lungs, but luckily not during the night. But overall no major complaints.
Summary: Affordable and overall well functioning
