Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Bon établissement, fonctionnel et personnel très bien. Chambre spacieuse et installations récentes. En revanche, salle de bain qui n’était pas complètement propre à l’arrivée et pas d’eau chaude ce matin quand j’ai pris ma douche (jai du me doucher à l’eau froide à 5h30 du matin). Ce youth hostel donne sur une avenue importante donc par moments c’est un peu bruyant. C’est dommage parce que la localisation n’est pas mauvaise à mi chemin entre l’aéroport et la gare cornavin.

Le seul soucis c'est le manque de clim en été. Mais ça va il faisait frais, avec la fenêtre ouverte.
