One of the best hostels. Safe, clean and well maintained. It is not so close to the downtown, but is excellent.

Très bonne auberge, moderne avec tout ce qu'il faut pour passer une bonne nuit. Les chambres sont énormes! Il n'y a pas de rideau sur les lits. Il y a un grand nombre de toilettes et douches communes très propres! Pas très loin de la gare de Badel Bad. On peut accéder au centre avec le tram. L'auberge donne accès à la Baselcard (transports gratuits à Bâle et rabais sur des musées). Il y a un café sympa très tranquille et cozy quand j'y étais

Beautifully designed space! It’s easy to get to the hostel too and can take the bus from the city centre in approx 15 mins. Free breakfast was good, high quality, but not much choice. Staff were lovely. Only downside for me was I thought the beds had a sliding ‘door’ or something to pull along for privacy, it turned out 3 other girls in my dorm thought similar and that’s why they’d booked it. Some curtains would be great if this can be added 🙏🏻 as makes all the difference for a b...

Very clean, staff lovely but there weren’t the kitchen and bar facilities you have in most hostels that generate a good atmosphere. Double room was big and en-suite was good

Clean and cheap, comfy beds and plenty of space in the rooms. Very modern. However poor facilities, communal areas poor and no one used this because of that so very secluded. Very secure and safe but out of the main areas.

One of the best hostels I’ve been to. Breakfast is exquisite - small but everything I wanted and of very high quality. Large rooms - quiet and clean. I wish they had female only dorms though.

Silo was super clean & the aesthetic was superb. The location was a bit of a walk from public transit, but it's a safe walk. I loved how the rooms had plenty of hooks, and I believe that all hostels can never have too many hooks on walls and in bed spaces. Free breakfast was hugely appreciated, and they accommodated gluten-free needs. 🙏🏼 One area of improvement would be to add full power outlet ports in each bedpod. One USB slot doesn't cut it, especially with the rise of USB-C co...

Very good hostel, that is merged with architecture ateliers. There are workers going there each morning. Otherwise, rather small hostel with a very cozy living room. Not a super social hostel in terms of activity, but you can meet roommates, not a party hostel. Great for co-working as well. Free breakfast is simple, but high quality. Prices are high, typical swiss problem though. Only one tiny breakfast coffee, second costs 4,50 CHF. Unfortunately, the living room closes at night no socializing

The hostel itself was really lovely, rooms were cool and spacious, and was really happy with the showers, breakfast etc. The location was just quite awkward unfortunately, by a viaduct with nothing really around. And very oddly the duvets come with an single sheet to layer with the bare duvet, which I didn't love as you have no idea who's used the duvet before you.

Silo is beautifully maintained with an excellent and helpful staff. Located close to public transit and a supermarket. The included breakfast was a wonderful treat. I would highly recommend Silo and would definitely stay there again.

I was only here for one night and it did the job but I’m glad I didn’t have any more nights. It was nice and clean, literally can’t comment on the staff as I didn’t meet any, self check in was easy but I realised I had brought the wrong adaptor and there was no one to ask about borrowing. Location wasn’t great, didn’t feel too comfortable walking there at night time but has public transport close by Wasn’t a very social hostel, wouldn’t go here to make friends.

Esperienza molto positiva. Da sottolineare la qualità dei servizi, tra cui la Baselcard gratuita e l'ottima colazione. La struttura è bellissima e davvero pulita, così come le camere. Non è in centro ma i collegamenti ci sono e con la Baselcard sono anche inclusi nel prezzo!

Beautiful building and hostel, really good breakfast. Check in and check out was a breeze I am unsure how people were having an issue with it. Staff was incredibly friendly and warm, happily stored my luggage on arrival and the day I was leaving.
