This place is great value for the price. It is VERY clean. Especially all the common areas which were absolutely spotless! What really blew me away was the cheap parking (only CHF 10 per day), which was amazing since parking in Geneva is some of the most expensive in Switzerland (some places charge over CHF 60 for 12 hours!). I highly recommend this place!

Perfect location with good staff. The knife sold here is the best price in Geneva. No breakfast provided, need to find other places.

Very clean. 24hr access is great. Key card security. Toilets and shower rooms were always spotless. Kitchen was clean and worked well. Quite a quiet hostel. The beds were comfy with clean linen and towels. Helpful staff providing a map and other information when asked.

Brilliant staff working at this hostel (they could speak four different languages! and they were very polite and helpful). The hostel was clean and tidy and the free wi-fi was a bonus! I had a lovely stay, thank you!

Geneva is a small city, and the Hostel is at walking distance to the Tram system. You can get almost everywhere with it. The rooms are clean, the toiletes and showers too. The staff is really friendly and try to be understood. There's a small store at the reception. You can get your souvenirs there. There are many restaurants and some supermarkets close to City Geneva. I recommend.

Great place for a great value in Geneva. Close to the tram lines and train station. Tram is free with the card the hostel gives you. Very clean facilities, very knowledgeable staff. They sell train tickets and tickets for museums at the front desk which is very convenient. Free movie every night in the lobby for the money conscious! Would definitely recommend to anyone trying to do Geneva on a budget!

Very good location, right next to the main station in Geneva , walking distance to old town. Rooms, bathroom and showers were very clean. For Switzerland price (which is generally expensive) I think it's pretty worth the price

Overall, I enjoyed my stay there. The rooms were clean and the location was great. The staff tended to be a little bit on the curt side.
