Summary of traveller reviews

Geneva Hostel offers a great location near the lake and city centre, with friendly staff and good security. Guests appreciate the clean facilities and the included breakfast. However, some recent reviews mention rooms can be very hot in summer due to a lack of air conditioning or fans. The atmosphere is generally quiet, making it more suitable for travellers seeking a peaceful stay rather than a social one.

Staff were lovely. The cleanliness was so-so, everyone used the same bathroom and trash was quickly overflowing everywhere. Toilets clogged. I would not go here again. AC was not great, rooms were small. The worst part was that you have to make and strip your own bed. Not only is that a huge inconvenience when you are already carrying baggage up and down from your bunk, but everyone who shows up late in the evening must turn on the lights to set up their bed at night! I never slept! Awful system

I only stayed for one night as a pit stop to another destination but was super close to the train station, facilities are a bit dated but so clean. I kinda liked the lockers outside the room. Staff were really nice.

stayed here solo and left with people to meet back up with in other cities, super friendly environment, secure lockers that hold multiple large bags, and breakfast was a life saver. room was not too hot thanks to large windows, comfortable beds.
