    Recommend for a short stay in the heart of Geneva
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Single Bed in Female Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Maybe some eggs could be added to the breakfast. Wifi on second floor was a bit slow (but no issue on main floor and desk area) Bed aren't super comfortable. But overall nothing that would ruin your trip.

    Probably the biggest hostel I stayed at. It feels a bit like a school, the room where they serve food is big with lots of seating. On the other hand the room where you can cook your own food is quite small. Rooms were very basic but do the job. I really appreciated the fact that the lockers are outside the room so it makes less noise, no locker needed as everything works with the card. Restrooms were also fine. Even tho there were a lot of people during my stay there was never a waiting line for the bathroom. I also liked the individual fridge system. So no need to write down your name or someone taking your food. Breakfast was okay - cereals/yogurt/bread/cheese/fruits/small pastries. Finally, the place is walking distance to everything. Quick ride to the airport. Friendly staff.

    A very basic accommodation in the city center of Geneva
    • Business trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Single Bed in Male Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 4 nights

    The taller building does not feel cozy. The room and facilities were worn out. The heavy industrial doors created disturbances at night as they made loud bangs every time they closed.

    The location is very convenient to reach the city center and major transportation hubs. The staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was small but tasted good.

    Would be better with curtains on the beds and with hooks in the toilets so we can get changed without having to use the shower cubical. Was also not very soundproof and there was lots of kids yelling.

    Breakfast and location were great.

    I think a source of drinkable hot water could be good. and in the breakfast, a boiled egg would be lovely. receptionists are trying to help but not very enthuastic about that.

    everything was very well defined and clean.

    Facilities are very well organized, I stayed in a 6 girls' room with common showers and bathroom on the same floor and breakfast included. Your access card will allow you also a locker. Staff very friendly, considering the turnover of people they have to deal with. Very good breakfast, very clean, the inevitable noise people make coming and going at different hours in the room and in the hallways but other than that .. reminds you of student life and such value for money!

    The best price for the top hostel in Geneva!

    I booked a bed in a 6-beds room but was unexpectedly assigned to an 8-beds room, which felt like an unfair surprise to me.

    The Geneva Hostel offers an excellent breakfast and boasts an optimal location. It is conveniently situated near tram and bus stops, in proximity to the train station for easy access to the airport, and is also near the lake and various international organizations. This central location allowed me to walk to all my meetings, and Tram #15 provided convenient transportation to any destination I desired. I appreciated having access to a tidy kitchen on the ground floor where I could prepare my own meals and enjoy a cup of tea. Additionally, the hostel restaurant offered the convenience of ordering food at a reasonable price.

    Had a prison feel to it. Really noisy guests messing about with no security sorting it out. Snoring guests (not hotel’s fault of course) Reception male wasn’t very friendly. Had some men in the reception area drunk and did feel slightly unsafe as a solo female and no staff about.

    The hostel is clean and organised. The location is excellent. The hostel gave me an transport ticket so I could go around very easily. I had an great experience with them.

    Nice cheap plase to stay for Geneva standards with good location, but only one bathroom per floor.

    The bathrooms. In our floor, we only had one toilet and one shower for all the men. In my case luckily there were not that many people, but when there are more people this would result in unnecessary waiting lines.

    The location was good. It was near to the train station, which meant easy acces to trams and trains to go to the airport or leave Geneva. The email/message that the Hostel sends before arriving is nice, giving directions on how to reach the Hostel by plain, car or train.

    Extra charges for towels and use of fridge. Strict check in time at 3pm. Had to make our beddings on arrival, not ideal for tired travellers from long journey or tours. WiFi is poor in our room #47,corner.

    I love the breakfast. Staffs are friendly. Good location, close to everything. Fast action with my free travel pass. Security protocols is superb. Easy to extend our stay. Went extra mile so I can have the same bed from the first night even with such short notice.

    It could be a little bit more comfortable, especially the bed, if you add a curtain.

    Good service, the place is decent, clean and in a good location and great food.
