Summary of traveller reviews

Geneva Hostel offers a fantastic location, just a short walk from the lake and close to public transport. Guests frequently praise the friendly and helpful staff, and the clean facilities. The included breakfast is a definite plus. However, some recent reviews mention rooms can get very hot, especially in summer, due to a lack of air conditioning or fans.

Decent place to stay. Good breakfast for the basic continental. Very large place. $90 CAD a night isn’t great.

Ok hostel. Had a weird experience with a man being put into an all female dorm…he was only moved when we complained. Rooms were clean but showers were strange and the common areas were hard to find in a maze of downstairs rooms. Lockers for bags were large but outside the rooms.
