KarenUnited StatesNice hostel
Clean. Central. Good staff.
A bit expensive for a hostel.
WolframGermanyEine sehr gute Möglichkeit, in ganz zentraler Lage zu übernachten.
Die zentrale Lage und auch das Gebäude selbst sind herausragend. Das Frühstück. Das Frühstücksbuffet war qualitativ hochwertig.
Das schlafraubende Klackern des Fahrstuhls war selbst im dritten Stock immer wieder zu…
RenéNLVoor een kort verblijf alles wat je nodig hebt.
Locatie, rustig en dichtbij de Rijn
EnyaGermanyToller Aufenthalt!
Super Lage, modernes Gebäude und sehr gut ausgestattet!
Vegane Alternativen (Joghurt beim Frühstück) wären schön gewesen.

- That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
- That the desk is staffed when you land, and that the room is held past cut-off.
- The pet fee and any size limit, which is where these bookings usually come apart.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about Basel Youth Hostel
What time is check-in and check-out at Basel Youth Hostel?
Check-in is from 5:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Basel Youth Hostel allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Basel Youth Hostel?
Yes — parking is available on site at a charge the property sets. We check the rate and whether a space can be reserved against your dates.
Does Basel Youth Hostel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Basel Youth Hostel?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Basel Youth Hostel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Basel Youth Hostel?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 5:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Basel Youth Hostel?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
