Geneva Hostel

I like the location. .. it is near the sea side. . . Near Lidl grocery store. The neighborhood area are clean and nice.. and easy to locate. There are bus stop just around the corner. The Bed Rooms are spacious, well-ventilated and well-lit. There is Big window that you could open to have a fresh air. The electrical socket and over head lamp are provided very well in each bed. There are lockers provided outside the bedroom. It is Secured with Magnetic Card. The locker sizes are big enough to place a Medium Size luggage and a Handbag. It is nice that the lockers are outside the sleeping bedroom, so I could make up my things not bothering my roommates. The WC are nice. Toilet and Shower are well separated but it is in the same area. Secured by Magnetic Card. The Shower cubicle is big, big enough to hang your clothes and things. There are dryers provided. The WC is cleand, well ventilated and lit. They provide handsoap and well kept. They have a very nice, tasty and delightful breakfast buffet. I love it so much, it saves me time and money. The set up is very cleaned, enticing and professional staff are always there to help. I like the very cleaned and portable free drinking water at the dining area for us to have. The waiting - reception area are big and convenient while waiting. The area provided have portable electrical socket. There is a big screen TV that shows different spots that a traveller could visit and enjoy. This helps me a lot, as a solo trip traveler who doesn't have an itinerary. The Internet access are so reliable , very fast and efficient in whole area. A day of my trip is raining... but the internet access are still functioning and very dependable. They provide the Transportation Digital Ticket few hours before you land on Geneva. This ticket can be use in different buses and trams provided it is in the scope. The Check-out process are fast and time-efficient.

The check-in staff were very helpful and made everything much easier. I've stayed here several times and they are always excellent. The entire hostel is very clean and tidy with bins everywhere. The dining room was similarly immaculate. The men's and women's rooms have separate keycards (given out at check-in) as do the toilets. This means that you cannot move between dormitories or toilets: you can only use the men's toilet on your room's floor and not on any of the others. There are no mixed-sex dormitories to my knowledge. Each bed in each room has its own locker out in the corridor which is big enough for a large backpacker's rucksack, this is also opened using the keycard from reception. I appreciate the extra security as hostels allow all sorts of guests who come and go on a daily basis. There is a snack and supper menu which is very reasonably priced for Geneva. There are also some decent, small restaurants nearby including a couple of pizzerias. The wifi is easy to access and reasonably fast although it does have some slow moments. Fresh bed-linen is handed out at reception. The beds are bunks and a decent size even if you are very tall (>6ft).

The guy in reception was really nice

The hostel has a very convenient location close to the lake promenade and in walkable distance to the train station. Breakfast was not overwhelming (coffee was good though), but the fact that its included makes your stay so much more affordable. I liked that the lockers are outside the room, as it minimizes the noise while un/packing. Everything felt clean and safe. Male and female bathrooms are seperate; every shower has a small changing area with hooks and a place for your things, which is great, but still uncomfortable as the water has high pressure and floods everything anyway...

I liked the central location, and even though it’s the cheapest in town, the staff is very friendly and always ready to help with anything. The rooms and bathrooms are cleaned daily, and breakfast is pretty good considering it’s included in the booking. The check-in flexibility is great, and the 11 AM check-out time allows you to enjoy your breakfast without rushing. The transport card they provide is super handy, and you also have the opportunity to meet new people, which adds to the experience.
