I really appreciated all your helpful and friendly staff and visitors. I met some very interesting fellow travellers of all ages.
Everything I could possibly need was in place, including kitchen, laundry, lounge, cafe, and luggage room so that we could go and explore the city.
The best bit on arrival was that you are so close to the station, and I felt safe walking there from my late train.
The area is so peaceful and quiet yet so close to all the transport links including Flix bus.
Thank you so much, I would so highly recommend your hostel, and definitely stay again!
Overall very recommendable, esp. because of the added features of bar/cafe AND members´ kitchen, so that you can cook your own food and chat to people. The kids loved the pools table. Overall very clean and comfy.
Unexpectedly a very nice place to stay at (I say unexpectedly, cause often these more corporate hostels don't feel great). The staff were great and the facilities were clean and nice. Great location too.
Hyve is very close to Basel SBB (the main train station in Basel), like a five minute walk, which is a huge plus if you're arriving/leaving by train. Checking-in, and checking-out are done digitally on a screen by the entrance. Unfortunately some bug caused two accidental extra withdrawals of the price of my booking. The staff at Hyve was very friendly, and arranged for those withdrawals to be refunded. If you have enough money to spare until you get the money back, that's not a problem of course, but I believe that many don't. So I really hope they're working hard at fixing that bug.
Since I stayed at Hyve during a heat wave in June, I wasn't impressed with the airconditioning included in the description of the rooms on hostels.com. In my room (an 8-bed one) there was just a fan by the window, which I felt no effect of at all from my bed, so I couldn't sleep a wink.
Switzerland is expensive. The price for my bed was a lot higher than I've paid at much nicer hostels in Italy for example, so that contributed to the disappointment.
Overall it was a nice stay.
I stayed in a double-room. One of the mattresses was really saggy and one of the lights did not work.
I would have appreciated also little bit more light in the toilets and showers. It felt really dark.
Very short walking distance from the train station. Supermarket available. Shower room is good that have a small bench to put clothes. Quiet neighborhood.
It was a wonderful experience, we booked a capsule room with four friends and it was perfect 👌
I was a bit afraid cause it was underground at first but the room is neatly designed so you do not feel it at all. The staff was really nice and the accommodation were clean and practical. Frankly way better that what i would have expected from a youth hotel 🥰
The location is also very good, 5 minutes from the main train station with a lot of connections to local transports.
Fantastic first hostel experience! Rooms are comfortable, clean and spacious. Being located so close to the train station is quite nice and the social atmosphere is lovely and friendly! Highly highly recommend to anyone taking a trip to Basel
