There are some building works going on at the moment at least. It wasn't such a problem although you have to walk around a bit further to get in, but wasn't woken by anyone. The place is pretty concrete, and the staff are a bit funny, even if you speak French! The rooms were warm and comfortable at least, and... More

My friends and I stayed there for 3nights I think somewhere August last year. We chose this hotel because most of the Geneve hotels are just too expensive for us, plus my friends never stay in a hostel before, so we decided to give a try with shared-dorm room which turned out not too bad to me. Everything was just... More

Its hard to find cheap accommodation in Geneva so I opted for the HI Hostel. I usually try to avoid chain hostels as they tend to be over commercialized and lack character, but in this town it appeared the most reliable option, is easy to locate from the Cornavin train station and included breakfast which is a bonus. The hostel... More

Good location, about 10 minute walk from the main train station. Lots of places close by to grab a bite and buy basic essentials. Good rooms with big sturdy electronic lockers which can easily fit a full size backpack. The free breakfast was average, nothing great. Its a very commercial hostel with people of all ages and not necessarily backpackers... More

The rooms were clean and comfy. There are not many places to sit apart from a few benches and and... More

I went to Geneva with 2 friends. We had paid for a room with 4 beds to have more privacity. We arrived on Friday night and everything was fine. On Saturday we visited the city, went dinner and to a bar. When we arrived at 2:30am what a surprise! The guy in the reception told us we had a guest... More

Pro: Location - just a few blocks away from Main Station. Among all the other hotels. Price - average price Safety - the location is quite safe. Again, among many major hotels with diverse restaurants. Big locker inside the room. Con: - The SMELL. It smells like the changing room of a swimming pool throughout the whole hostel.. - The... More

The best thing about this place is its location, just a few blocks from the main Geneva station and the lake. Security has been taken seriously, every guest is provided with a magnetic card which is used to gain access the dormitory area, open your locker and the room door. Now, on the other hand, the hostel is kinda "cold",... More

Its an old hostel ........with poor ambience.........Compared to other HI hostels in Europe its NOT UPTO The Mark. Recommended for bag packers only. Very poorly maintained bathrooms..........With Below average breakfast...........Only plus point is its vicinity to lake geneve and railway station.
