The place is close to the station, and the tram is right around the corner. We got a great welcome and had a good conversation with the friendly front desk employee. The staff is calm and professional and can help with anything! The room and blankets are clean and so are the pillows and blankets. Bathrooms and toilets are clean and obviously there is water on the floor and some minor details when many people share facilities. But if we return, well come back. The hostel is situated in a unique area with bars, restaurants, climbing equipment, and many more. The hostel provides a free loyalty card so whats not to like and can recommend as locals to jump in the Ria and follow the stream along with the rest of the city. The hotel offers you a free membership, so whats not to like, and as locals, do as the locals, is jump in the Ria and follow the stream. So a great stay for a family of 5, parents, and three kids 51215.

There are several tram stops nearby as well. The situation is good, as you can walk to the railway station. I was able to get to the train station by foot with heavy luggage and survived. There are six-bed female dorms in the apartment. Each visitor in the room is given a locker with a key, which has positives. The bathroom is located along the corridor outside the room. In this hallway, there were mixed-use bathrooms for men and women. It is the same for the shower. This is convenient because there is a private locker for shower lock. After check-out, the staff was extremely accommodating, and I was able to leave the luggage in the bathroom and pickup it afterward. The internet was excellent. The lack of power outlets in the room was problematic. There were several outlets, but it wasn't connected. I was unable to locate the cable under my bed to attempt to connect it somewhere. I did this with heavy luggage and survived. There are many nearby tram stops as well. A kitchen is also available.

Excellent accommodation for exploring Bast. The tram service to Bast's main section and the subrail station were both nearby. It's also simple to stroll. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and check-in was simple. I slept in a female dorm with eight comfortable beds. The hostel assigned each bed a locker with a key. There is ample table space for eating and seating, a proper kitchen with a fridge, and a room to relax. There is no timer, and the showers are roomy. The base card they provide you at check-in is useful for museum admission and free public transportation.

There are shared bathrooms and a reasonable price considering this is Switzerland. Good place, cool warehouse, cool atmosphere, good station location. I also have to write 200 characters minimum so that's what I want to do.
