Richard, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Very nice lady in the reception, great breakfast, however, when I am try to leave my luggage until 12pm, they have to charge me for 6chf (and my check out time is 11am), just for 1hour. Because normally the reception will allowed guest to be leave their baggage free for a period of time, but not for this hostel

I have always stayed in Geneva Hostel and the staff appears to do strive to ensure that the needs of occupants are met to their best ability and availability. More could also be done in making sure customer service comes with a smile..That alone could change the world.

Great stay

Stayed here solo for 2 nights whilst travelling Switzerland. It’s a 5 minute walk to the lake but maybe 20 to the more central part. Location was fab 5 minute walk to bus stop. Kitchen/toilets were great & clean. Bedrooms were outdated but for the price especially including breakfast can’t complain.
