    The beds were a bit hard and the sheets smelled they were stored in a closet for a while/not fresh.

    The breakfast was simple but tasty. The staff is super accommodating and friendly! I liked the self check in and check out as well! Was very convenient. :)

    Breakfast is included, however the choice is quite limited (couldn't have granola as it had nuts inside - I'm allergic, only one type of marmalade, no orange juice). Location isn't superb unless you come from or are headed to the German train station. Otherwise the city center is 30' away, on foot. Closer tram / bus station is 5 to 10' walking.

    This place was downright outstanding. I had visited before during Open House Basel and I was sure my expectations were going to be met. Staff is super friendly. Lovely atmosphere. The dorms are quite generous and there's plenty of space for 4 people. It's pretty quiet as well, almost too quiet for a hostel.

    The beds are rather soft (but this is a personal preference, I like firm matrasses) and it would be nice to have a slightly more attractive view or be able to open a window (although the aircon worked really well).

    The design of the place is amazing, very modern, yet respectful for the history of the place, with carefully selected and high quality details. The double room that we used is spacious and convenient. The staff was super friendly and helpful, ready to provide all sorts of information, also after the official hours. We really enjoyed the breakfast - tasty and in nice, relaxed atmosphere.

    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.

    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

    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.
