Good Location - Don’t Stay in Room 25
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.

Single Room
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.

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

Great stay
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!

Perfect if you need to get some work done!
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.

Decent enough place to stay
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.

Fun communal space and super helpful staff!
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.

Consistently good hostel.
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.
