Reviews of YMCA Hostel Basel

19 September 2011 Pramod Chandra would recommend this property

Liked: The property is close to main railway station of Basel. The property is well maintained and kept neat and clean.

Disliked: The room partision are not good enough (sound proof), I had literally difficult time in sleeping during my four night stay. The occupants in the room adjoining me use to sleep very late at nignt and their conversation was loud and audibile enough to disturd the neighbours. It is recommended the guest staying in YMCA may be advised to remain silent/quite after 2230 or 2300 hrs and not to disturb others. This can be told at the time of check -in and also you can consider putting sinages at prominent places incuding rooms.

Liked: Clean and all necessary facillities, relaxed and has pleasant decor.

Disliked: Should bear in mind that checkin really is only from 1530: reception is closed from about 1030 to 1530 so there´s no way you can leave luggage etc. Can access internet and wander around still though.

Liked: I arrived after 11pm due to a delayed flight and they were very helpful, the reception was actually closed but they were still there apparently until 2am and they were expecting me. Nice welcome. Good breakfast with fresh good bread and real coffee. Luggage storage lockers for free so you don't need to check your bag in at the station. Free Wifi, what more can i say...!

Disliked: Nothing

Liked: I love how close this hostel is to the train station. I had a series of train delays on my journey there, but it was no problem to find at one in the morning. Even though they specify that one should check in by 11pm, they were very accommodating of my late arrival and had a guy at the front desk until 2am.

Disliked: This hostel is open to families with young children. This was not a negative for me, but could be for some party-hard people (does anyone party in Basel?? I don't know).

Liked: We book this hostel and when we arrive was full, but they give us a private room instead of a bed in a shared room with other backpackers. The guest kitchen and the saloon were recently renovated and they are at the same level at a good hotel, or better. The breackfast is great and the staff is very kindly.

Disliked: Nothing. I think it is the best hostel I have ever stayed, and I have slept in many many places before...
