Location was not great but gave a basel card and we rode trains and busses. It was a converted old grain mill. Won awards for the conversion. Nice breakfast and staff was great
The rooms and onsite cafe were good. Great that they include a city transit pass to get around, since they are a bit outside the centre.
They lack a place hang laundry, if you just want to rinse a few things.
I have never stayed in a hostel type place but it was all straightful and I shared my room with very nice and considerate people. The breakfast was more than wonderful and the staff very welcoming and helpful.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Very clean and spacious room and bathroom. Fantastic and healthy breakfast. Overall, very good value and a central location.
The stay was simply brilliant for an hostel you could hardly ask anything more clean and spacious dorms, wonderful repurposed building with lots of history attached, great location to explore the town, with bus stop right at your door & the girls were absolutely amazing caring helpful friendly...will happily stay again.
The staff it’s really nice and helpful. This is my 1st hostel so I didn’t know what to expect but the property is well maintained, the breakfast top notch and the building clean overall. The only issue I have was when others are coming late and they don’t respect people are trying to sleep (but if you are in a group and all of you are together you don’t have to worry about it) this is not a facility issue.
I will say that the entire staff was super nice, especially nickole.... It is such a really unique and beautiful building that literally used to be a grain silo! I will return for sure! Highly recommend!
Nice, big room in a very cool building. Only minus was the heat in the room (but very warm outside). Excellet service at breakfast and we where for example able to borrow a floating bag.
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.
A comfy, clean and trendy industrial-style hostel with very spacious rooms. Not that central, but near the Bad station, and bus 30 takes you to the main railway station. Bed price included the Basel Card with free public transport. Nice little breakfast, too.
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!
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.
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.
