    Location is on the highway, despite that booking says it’s in the city centre. Breakfast can be with more options, it’s just few slices of bread, vegetables and cheese.

    I liked the place, very modern, comfortable and clean. It’s even has the room when you can sit and work.

    The window in the room can't be opened when the room gets stuffy and warm.

    This hostel sets a high benchmark for hostel accommodations. The building is designed as a modern industrial building. Upon entering my room, I was pleasantly surprised by the space. There's only a max of 4 people in the room in capsule- like beds. There's a usb outlet near the bed and a lampshade. There's also a cabinet that you can put your stuff on, but you have to provide your own lock. I like how the room is soundproof. The common bathroom is also spacious. There are 4 toilet cubicles and 4 separate showers. Towels are also provided, as well as 2 in 1 shampoo and body wash. Staff are friendly and ready to assist. Overall, this boutique hostel is nothing short of exceptional.

    It was my first experiment at the hostel. And it was amazing, I haven't met such nice staff. This hostel is better than some hotels, it was very stylish, cozy and clean. In the guest room I met many travelers, had a very good time. I recommend it from the bottom of my heart.

    The location. Can hear the traffic in rush hour and a bit far from the city central.

    Unique design, if you want something that's not ordinary, you have to visit the Silo. The rooms are big and the host is very responsive

    I liked my stay very much. The location was perfect for me. The design of the hostel is 10 out 10. I enjoyed the design every minute of my stay. Swiss breakfast was tasty. And a local transport card for Basel was a pleasant bonus to my stay

    Brekfast could be a little more diverse. You could only have one coffee,for a croissant you had to pay extra. Location a little far from the city center, but you can access everything with public transportation (bus,trams) , which is very convenient and punctual timewise in Switzerland.

    The whole concept of this hotel is really interesting! Industrial design, minimal decoration in the rooms and common areas. Self check in & check out process was really easy. Nicole from the staff was amazing and really helpful! The mattress was also good, we slept very well. Good quality of breakfast choices! Muesli was great,the apple juice also, the bread was fresh and cheese variety was a big plus!

    Close to the motorway but the windows were well isolated so the noise was not too bad. Selection of foods for breakfast can easily be improved with more jam variety or bread rolls. No hair dryer in the shared shower area. Soap was not available in every shower cabin and in the disabled WC

    Easy access to the place at 2300. Nice breads and lovely plum jam which was not sweet. Great coffee. Good pressure shower with really hot and cold water. Heating on in the entire building. Automatic lights. Helpful and lovely staff.

    All good

    Really enjoyed the stay here! Beautiful architecture, super friendly and helpful staff, clean room and facilities. Breakfast included price is reasonable👍 Although the location is not in the central area, the closest bus stop is just in frost of the hostel, and with provided one day free pass, roughly 30mins to the main attractions are not that painful at all.

    Check in felt a bit tricky. The pillows were too soft. Unfortunately I didn't enter from the attractive side of the building (which I really wanted to see) - Google Maps took me to the highway direction.

    Lovely, interesting space. Quite close to public transport, which was free with the Basel card!
