Summary of traveller reviews

VIVA Hostel in Chur offers comfortable beds, especially appreciated in colder weather. The interior design is pleasant and the self check-in is convenient. However, frequent noise from a nearby club, especially on weekends, can disrupt sleep. There's also a lack of staff presence and secure storage options like lockers.

The hostel did not provide the advertised facilities, as there was no fridge or microwave available. The dorm carpet was dirty and heavily stained. The worst part was a guest who made everyone uncomfortable by harassing others, smoking indoors, and occupying three beds. Others and I contacted the emergency number about the situation but never received a response. The only clean areas were the bathrooms and toilets. I would not recommend this hostel to anyone.

It was clean and the 18 bed dorm was spacious. 10min walk from the train station. No kitchen facilities to make food and no private rooms available. Nice dorm in a good location

No staff and no response from staff when reaching out. Property is fine. Nothing more nothing less. But if you’re looking for help or anything goes wrong you won’t get any here
