The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel is very rustic. The room was clean. Bathroom is a bit small. There is a nice shared sitting area on each floor.

Great room, fits basic needs
The hostel is a very short walk from the main train station in Cornavin. The solo bed rooms are for your basic needs; towels are included, which is a great added bonus (as many other hostels require you to rent out that). My only complaint with the room was that it had a rather strong smell of cigarette smoke; I reckon the staff tried to air out the room as my window was opened when I arrived. Otherwise, I had a great night’s stay in that hostel, and had a great 24 hours in Geneva.

Für „ewig jugendliche“ Reisende geeignet. Nur stimmt das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis nicht, da die Unterkunft doch recht „schlicht“ ist…
