Great place

Quiet, clean, spacious - brilliant stay. Stayed in female four bed dorm in this interestingly designed hostel. The only comment I’d have is that the dorm rooms are so big the beds could probably be individually set out, rather than stacked as bunks. To save the squeaking of top bunks and steps etc.

Great breakfast but the design is not practical

This is a strange hostel. The included breakfast is fantastic and almost made me forgive the weirdness. The design aspects look good but I am not sure this was built for humans. The box that serves as an evening common room on the second floor is far too small. They provide an electric kettle in the common room but no cups, and a refrigerator but no plates or bowls. There is no sink in the common room. Water for the tea kettle can be obtained from the janitors closet on the other side of the hall. The asymmetrical ladders used in the 4 bed bunk rooms have one side that is far too steep. The room was large but all it contained was one stool, one uncomfortable chair, a full length mirror, and 4 lockers (bring your own padlock). There wasn’t anywhere comfortable sit in the room so everybody hid in their bunkbed pods. Each bunk had only a single USB charging point. In the whole room, there was one single plug (beside the light switch nest to the door). The short extension cord provided meant that I could charge my laptop, if I wanted to leave it on the floor beside the door. I was also a bit disappointed to find that most of the rooms actually look out at a highway. There is no one at the check-in desk in the morning so once you check out, you need to take your bags with you.

We had a fantastic stay in our double room. The building is incredible, a real marvel to stay in. The room was spacious and spotless, with a comfortable bed and nice warm high pressure shower. There is busy traffic outside but, as suggested in the room itself, we enjoyed sitting and watching it go by and were undisturbed by any noise. The blackout curtains also blocked any light out. The staff were absolutely lovely and very kind to store our bags for our final day. The breakfast and coffee selection was also so lovely with homemade items, local produce and just generally a nice mix of choice.

My train arrived late and checking in was absolutely horrible. There was no one at the desk, the house phone didn't work, and because I'd just arrived from Canada I hadnt activated my eSim card yet. I would have had to sleep on the floor if another lady from Germany hadn't helped me!

The stay at Silo Design & Boutique Hostel in Basel was great. The staff were all kind and showed high hospitality & great service. The Hostel is well organized and the breakfast was great with a variety of Swiss cheese. I would like to thank Nicole especially, with her kindness in helping me with Check-in formality and also with providing some ideas/ suggestions about experiencing Switzerland. I would highly recommend anyone to book their stay with Silo. Much appreciated!

It is really a good place to choose in Basel with easy connection to the city and in the room it is really quiet. The hostel is really clean and modern, with lift considering all levels. Breakfast is included and very delicious. Staff are very enthusiastic! We really enjoyed our one day night in Basel!

The accommodation is very good, the staff are brilliant, Nicole is particularly helpful and efficient. The only letdown is location; although described as central the property is on the periphery of the city centre and there are few facilities locally.
