This place has seen better days. Somehow, I was expecting more from a Swiss hostel. For example, many of the storage lockers were broken or missing doors. No toilet paper in one of the bathroom stalls. Surfaces felt a little sticky aside from sinks and toilets, which were pretty clean. It was all kind of rundown, which, at.$179 Cdn per night for shared bathroom and showers, wasn't super great. People were really nice though, and very helpful. Fine for a short stay and way cheaper than most everything in Geneva.

Not the best price for what you receive, probably the cheapest option for a stay in Geneva. Good kitchen/bathroom facilities, easy check-in although you have to put the linen on the beds yourself. Overall decent stay, close to the main attractions of Geneva.

Great room, fits basic needs

The hostel is a very short walk from the main train station in Cornavin. The solo bed rooms are for your basic needs; towels are included, which is a great added bonus (as many other hostels require you to rent out that). My only complaint with the room was that it had a rather strong smell of cigarette smoke; I reckon the staff tried to air out the room as my window was opened when I arrived. Otherwise, I had a great night’s stay in that hostel, and had a great 24 hours in Geneva.
