Good: convenient location, friendly staff, dining options Bad: other guests were very loud in the lobby until very late at night. Shower designed poorly - shower head doesn’t hold itself up and is very low so you have to hold it yourself

Great budget option
I found the Geneva Hostel to be excellent value for money. We are a family of 4, couple with two kids and stayed in a quadruple room with two bunk beds with a shared bathroom. I realised later that I could have booked a quadruple room with one bunkbed for the kids and two single beds with a private bathroom for not a lot more. The location is great, 10 minutes walk to the main station. The hotel is modern, clean and the breakfast is surprisingly good to be included in the price. The breakfast included mini croissants and mini pain of chocolat which was a nice touch on the top of the usual, toast with jam, cereals with milk and fruit.

For a comfy bed in Geneva for the night it's perfect. I'd come in from Venice by train at midnight, it was 10 minutes walk to hostel from Geneva Main Station, check in was easy and decent breakfast included. You can walk to Lake Geneva in 5 minutes. Facilties we're good, clean and functional. I don't usual stay in Hostels but for a bed and shower en route, it's perfect.
