We arrived at the hostel with a good feeling after having read all the previous good reviews. This hostel definitely lived up to our expectations...the staff was helpful, the room looked exactly like the one shown on the website, and everything (including the bathroom) was really clean. I especially liked the fact that we had our own storage space in the fridge. Would definitely come back here again, and certainly worth the price, considering how expensive everything else is in the city!

Everything people have said here is true - it certainly is clean and well-run. However I would add the caveat that there isn't really anywhere to socialise here - the TV room fills up for the nightly movie, and then empties again straight afterwards. This is a shame, because Geneva prices being what they are, a cheap friendly bar would have been a very welcome feature.

I wasn't feeling too well by the time I got to Geneva and the hotel lets you sleep in(no lock-out!!). I fet so much better afterwards.... I might be biased though. It is a bit expensive but everything in Switzerland is.....You also get the nightly English movies and kitchen is clean and nice. You get your own fridge key so no stolen food(happened to me before).

This was a great place to stay, although I was only here for two nights. Room was more like a hotel room, very clean, I think the building is quite new. There are plenty of bathrooms and they are very clean, location is great, 5 minutes walk from the station, staff were friendly. I just wish they would put proper curtains on the windows - I felt like people could see in. Other than that, nearly perfect.

Everything the others said were true, but...1. Because the rooms are non-smoking only, I found that some folks smoked right there in the hallways. 2. The windows do nothing to keep out street noise, it was hard to sleep at night. 3. Our room (maybe others as well) had see through curtains. But I would agree, for the money, it was a clean and well run place to spend the night. More hotel than hostel.

This hostel was one of the best hostels I ever visited!! There was an ELEVATOR the hostel was spotless and the pillows felt like they were filled with feathers (very comfy) I had a great time my suite mates were a bitof a pain but the hostel itself was great. Two thumbs up!:)

Despite being just a hostel, this place is so clean and neat you can really sleep on the floor. The toilets are clean and even the kitchen is spick and span. Best of all they have a lift and there is a kitchen on every floor, therefore no overcrowding. You have key that gives you access to a locker in the hallway, a cabinet in the kitchen and even a storage space in the fridge, very organised. There is also internet room, a sitting area and even a tv area. The dorms itself has only 4 beds so you really have a good place with a cheap deal. The place is easy to find and within walking distance from all places of interest in Geneva. It is so great that I would definitely pick it again should I be going Geneva again. Only thing to note is that the reception open only like 730 am so if you arrived before there, you would have to wait outside the main entrance till it open for business or until someone come out and you grab the door before it closes behind.
