A smart, clean and central hostel with friendly and helpful staff. I stayed here on my first visit to Geneva and couldn't fault it. There is a nice bright reception area and I had a private room with two single beds to myself - perfectly clean and comfortable night sleep. The bathroom directly across the hall meant it was practically... More

I stayed here in August 2012 with my sister. We stayed for 2 nights and this place was perfect for what we needed. We booked a 2 bed private room which was quite small but has everything you need. The toilet/shower areas are clean, as is the kitchen. It is about a 5 minute walk from the train station. We... More

I came to City Hostel for one night, needing a cheap base in the centre of the City. The hostel is very conveniently located, about 5 minutes walk from the Central Station. Saying that, it is in quite a scummy area, full of cheap kebab shops. I stayed in a four bed dormitory. They gave me clean sheets, a small... More

Location is just perfect... a few blocks from the Gare Cornavin, close to the tram stop -useful if heading to the UN like me- and surrounded by eating places of different nature. I stayed in a room for single use. It was extremely basic -no frills whatsoever-. The bathrooms were outside -I believe two or four per floor-. There were... More

This hostel is extremely clean and friendly. The staff care for the clients and were very kind to me. All the rooms are well kept and the kitchen is well equipped. I would recommend it for short stays since the rooms are kinda small. The cleanliness however compensates for the sizes. The internet was a bit problematic but I believe... More

I know many reviews are positive, but it is not any good any more! The people are extremely inpolite and the internet didn't work any of the days. It is not clean and we did not feel welcome. Just because Geneva is in a hotel/hostel/apartment crisis where everything is so expensive and booked for months, don't pick this because it... More

Ok just to be frank, European cities are expensive and Geneva included. I chose private room for about 50 something france per night and I am generally satisfied with this hostel. I have paid similar price in London and got even less. Location without doubt is great. Close to Gare Cornavin which is the train station which train goes to... More
