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 Bedrooms were outdated but for the price especially including breakfast can’t complain.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
This was my 1st stay in a hostel in 33 years and I was very impressed with the facilities, the helpfulness of the staff and the quality of everything in our room and the free breakfast. We had a twin room which had the benefit of a balcony with seating and a fabulous view towards the lake. Bedding and towels were provided. My only criticism of the whole experience would be that the room was quite hot, although a helpful large fan was provided. I would certainly recommend the hostel, the staff and the free transport card to anyone wanting to stay in Geneva and not spend a fortune (this looked much nicer than more expensive but very basic hotel rooms).
