Great stay
Stayed here solo for 2 nights whilst travelling Switzerland. It’s a 5 minute walk to the lake but maybe 20 to the more central part. Location was fab 5 minute walk to bus stop. Kitchen/toilets were great & clean. Bedrooms were outdated but for the price especially including breakfast can’t complain.

This was a wonderful place to stay if you are a solo traveler! It has clean rooms, a big free breakfast, and many of the best places in Geneva are within walking distance. The front desk staff are also friendly and very helpful!

Average
Stay was average. The showers don’t have any kind of soap or shower gel in them, which is strange for a hostel.
You also have to pay a deposit for a towel of 13 francs and you get 10 back on check out.

Great hostel in Geneva. Walking distance to the water and the area you want to be. Included breakfast was basic (sandwichs, croissants, cereal, a couple fruits) but good.

Amazing hostel
Amazing hostel in Geneva, I was a little skeptical as everywhere I looked for a place to stay in Geneva was really expensive and I ended up going for this hostel and I’m so glad I did. The area was perfect a short and very scenic walk by the river to the old town and close to the bus stop that can take you to and from the airport. The staff were a highlight in this hostel, especially the gentleman on reception (I sadly did not catch his name) who seen I had sunburn on my face on the last night of my stay and gave me some of his own cream for the night, he is a credit to the team and went above and beyond. The breakfast was decent and they also had food on an evening in the restaurant available to purchase and pasta available at reception 24/7. The beds were comfortable the only issue I had was the mattress protector on my bed was very loud making crinkle noises every time I moved but I think this was only my bed as I didn’t hear anyone else’s! Other than that it was very comfortable and everyone in the hostel was friendly. I would love to see some activities hosted there for solo travellers to meet others this would be a great addition. All in all I would definitely recommend this hostel and can’t wait to stay here again!
