This hostel was amazing! One of the best I have stayed id. The new room key opens all doors: locker in room, bathroom, bedroom, entrance- all in one- loved it! The location is perfect. Staff is super friendly. Beds and bathroom are super clean and comfy.

Great for a short stay, nice amenities, clean. Only downside is the hallways were a bit loud at night.
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 Bedrooms were outdated but for the price especially including breakfast can’t complain.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!
Excellent hostel. Clean, friendly, secure. Easy check in. Only a couple streets away from some good food spots. Enjoyed my time here as a solo female traveler! Good breakfast as well.
I was totally impressed with the Geneva Hostel. My first stay in this setting and I will definitely recommend this place to anyone needing a clean, hospitable, safe place to stay.
A very nice hostel a stonethrow away from the Geneva Lake. Very helpful staff members, very nice interior, with a wonderful breakfast buffett to start the day strong.
Only had one night stay but was a comfortable one. staff were very lovely rooms and bathroom was clean i had a pleasant experience would definitely recommend stopping here if you are travelling to Geneva!
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.
