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.
Anne, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Average
Stay was average. The showers don’t have any kind of soap or shower gel in them, which is strange for a hostel. You also have to pay a deposit for a towel of 13 francs and you get 10 back on check out.

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!

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.

staffs are very friendly. good breakfast.
TETSUO, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff was friendly and knowledgable. I appreciated the lockers and that everything is accessed by keycard, so the level of safety is raised. Unfortunately, with a hostel, when you are sleeping with strangers you do run into a risk of sharing a room with people who are loud, not conscious of others, or messy. This is not a fault of this hostel, but always something to be aware of for any first-time hostel go-er
