Since there is not much reviews on this hostel! So I will give a very thorough review and hope that…read morewill cover just about everything! The service itself was pretty good, I talked to one of the managers, and it was a bit difficult at first because of our different accents, but once we got past that he was very helpful and definitely was very accommodating! The hostel itself is pretty nice! There's a complementary breakfast: fresh bread, slices of meats and cheese, fruit, yoghurt, cereals, juice, milk and even coffee! Most hostels I know don't even serve any sort of breakfast, so this was pleasant. The rooms are neat and clean. Linen, pillow and duvet is provided. Towels can be put down for 10 francs and returned to you once you've returned the towel. The shower facilities were also pretty good and clean! It's a locked door, has hooks, a small shelf, and then a shower curtain for the shower section, with also a ledge to place toiletries on. It's literally less than a 5 minute walk from the lake and next to the Olympic headquarters. The bus is just not too far outside from the hostel so makes it not too difficult to get into the town centre.

AMAZING HOSTEL. I…read morestayed at this hotel for two nights, then one night at Geneva Hostel, then back here for my last night. It was great because they were both very close to each other, making the move quick and easy. The location is relatively close to many of the big shopping districts and tourist sites, and is very close to the Gare Cornavin station, which made it very easy to get to and from the airport. My first two nights, I stayed in a double bed private room, and my last night, I stayed in a three people dorm. All rooms come with lockers and a sink, and I loved that the outlet was right above your bed, and with USB charger ports. The receptionist, Vivian (Vivienne? Vivien?) was so so sweet and made my check in and check out process both times very easy. He remembered me when I checked in for my second time, which was very sweet. You're provided with sheets and a towel, and locks for lockers are provided for a deposit that you get back after returning it. There's also individual refrigerator lockers that you can borrow for another deposit, if you don't want to use the communal fridge. Everything about the hostel was great - I would highly recommend it to anyone staying in Geneva!

I stayed two nights at City Hostel on two separate occasions in the last two weeks. Both times I…read morestayed in a three-bed, female-only dorm with a shared bathroom for half of the floor (32 CHF per night). The rooms are small, but the facilities are quite nice other than that. There are sinks and mirrors in the rooms and two showers per half-floor, but I never had a wait and the water temperature is good (which is a rarity in hostels). For a 10 Euro deposit, they provide refrigerator lockers, which is quite a lifesaver in Geneva where food will cost you your arm. Seriously, use the fridge and get all your food at Manor or Lidl! Check out is at 10am, but they provide lockers downstairs so that you can store your stuff and still make use of the day. They will even let you hang out in the common room after you've checked out! Things to beware: The key cards snap in half at the slightest touch. It happened to me TWICE. The first time the guy at the front desk charged me 5 CHF, but the second time the big guy in charge was at the desk and seemed a big angry that I had been charged the first time. So if they charge you, wait and talk to someone else! Only other downside: No complementary breakfast :-( But, again, the fridge lockers makes this AOK.

I only stayed for one night but this hostel felt very clean and safe. The free breakfast was much…read morebetter than I expected and when you add that to the free transport card I think that the value for money of this place is really great. I loved the locker system. The room was a little hot (in October) so I would maybe suggest bringing a little fan. Located very close to the lake in a seemingly quiet, safe neighborhood only a few miles from the airport. Definitely doesn't seem like a party hostel, the people were not very social.

AMAZING. I've been to a few hostels throughout Europe but this one is by far the best and most…read morememorable. It was: 1. amazingly cheap (~33 euros for an 8 female dormitory) 2. amazing location, close to everything 3. BEAUTIFUL. I felt like I was staying at an actual hotel! The staircase leading up to the rooms, the kitchen, and the reception area were all beautiful. The rooms were also spacious. 4. Easy & friendly reception, open at all hours 5. FREE BREAKFAST. And the breakfast wasn't just dry bread and jam like other places I've been to. There's drinks (coffee, hot chocolate, tea, orange juice, apple juice, milk), cereal, yogurt, muesli, bread with cheese, butter, and jam. 6. secure, with big lockers in the room for each person that open with your key. 7. wifi in the room and throughout the building The only thing I didn't like about this hostel was the showers - it was the kind where the button has to be pressed for the water to come out, which was a hassle and not the most user-friendly. They also provide you with a free city transportation card for your stay at the hostel, which is good for the trains, busses, trams, and boats.

Again at the Hostel in Montreux. Again clean and friendly place to be. Rooms got an update and now…read moreevery bed has a light and 230V connector. Breakfast is basic but as always fresh and complete with good coffee.

Rooms are super cramped. Address is difficult to find beware. Spanish guy at front desk super pleasant location could be better. These hostel owners seem to be in it for the money, hire better staff from maids to front desk!

Stayed here for 3 nights in a private 2 person room. Our room had it's own toilet, sink and shower,…read morea closet, a desk, a clothing rack, AND a private covered balcony! The room and bathroom were very clean. The hostel has laundry, a kitchen and a connected outdoor bar that is open to the public. Staying at the hostel gets you discount at the bar, which also serves food, but I never made it to the bar because it closes at 10PM. Seemed like people had fun there though! The nice part about it closing at 10PM is that hostel guests can sleep without a ton of noise. The kitchen was useful - with a refrigerator that has separate spots for each room - but was not kept very clean. The staff was not overly friendly but not mean either. Make sure to pay the full price of your room ahead of time if you are checking out early for a flight, as the counter is not open early in the morning. You can buy a towel for a few euros. Good price for a private room in a place with only a few hostels! Staying at the hostel gives you a 10% discount on Monte Medio outdoor excursions, and there were a lot of suggestions on the walls of things to do around town.
