Affordable option in Geneva
The location was great, just a few minutes away from the lake and also 10 minutes away from the main train station. Breakfast had a lot of variety and the rooms/bathrooms were clean. The staff was friendly and helpful.
The hostel could be more modern or offer some kind of privacy in the room, for example, the beds could have courtains or something like that. Coffee could also be provided during the day. Wifi wasn't great.

Great location and great value for money.
Location was great and the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming.
The shared bathrooms were OK, but could have been cleaner.

I will never return
Clean sheets
I will never return! The receptionist (the girl one) was rude and unpleasant. Parking is paid (20 euros per day) + 15 euros for a useless deposit (which I still haven't been refunded!!). The rooms are completely empty ( boxes for personal belongings are outside in the corridor). I found chewing gum stuck to the wall near my pillow, mould in the shower, and the hairdryer didn't work. No space for good chill or socialising. Detached atmosphere and bad vibes.

Nice place but Book Online as receptions Guy try to deceive you and send you to another place.
Ideal place to stay at low price. Room was clean Washrooms are clean, People are nice. Location is very near to Geneva Rail Station. Highly recommended.
Staff, Only Staff the reception Guy. Don't know the name but rude behavioral and specially try to deceive me. Suggest that no room is available and I try to other hostel. I guess he got some commission from that hostel. I came almost at midnight so try to book Via Booking.com and retain the room. When I show him the booking he again pissed off and said give me 30 min I will fix it for you. Like what Kind of fix for me???
I stay clam and finally he provide me the room.

The staff were friendly and very helpful. The location was excellent, close to the station and public transport routes. Great to have a balcony with an amazing view of Lake Geneva. And the breakfast was a very welcome bonus !
Absolutely nothing - really couldn’t fault it.

Noise in rooms late at night.
Really nice Hostel, great space, great breakfast , great dinner. Some kind staff and some dismissive staff who did not want to help.
No lights out rules in rooms, lights switched on at all hours, people talking and making noise. Floors in rooms very noisy and squeaky. Finally lights went out and noise stopped at 23.20hrs
Residents should be instructed that lights out is at say 22hrs and no noise and talking after that.

Great Hostel
Facility was clean, staff were all extremely nice. Great location in regards to seeing many of the popular sights. The lockers provided were spacious and well maintained.
Breakfast wasn't anything special. To cut costs, guests had to put on their own bedding; not a big deal but pretty disruptive when other roommates did not check in until well into the night

Nice and decent stay for a few days.
Nice and.friendly staff. Breakfast is pretty decent. Facilities in dorm are ok. In general not much to complain about. Very close to the lake.
a bit pricey for what you get, but I guess it more a problem of Geneva, not the hostel.

You need to stay before your flight - this place is your choice
Very satisfied. Breakfast was good and served with perfect timing. Price is do affordable. Bed is slightly small, but overall is fine.
Bed linen is good, but could be slightly bigger. I had to disturb others and it was late, not a disadvantage at all in fact. Thank to the place!

Pleasant, convenient place in central Geneva and good value for money
Geneva Hostal is in a very convenient central location, close to the Lake, and with good transport links into and around Geneva. I arrived by coach and it was a 10-minute walk from the Gare Routière. It is also close to the train station. Furthermore when going to the airport in the early hours of the morning I was able to catch an airport bus, the A2, which stopped in the street less than 5 minutes away. The reception staff were very helpful and friendly, and they arranged for me to take a packed breakfast given that I was checking out before breakfast was starting. I arrived at 11.30am, well in advance of check-in time, but it was possible to leave luggage free of charge at reception, or stay on the premises and use the lounge/hot desk facilities. The system of keeping your belongings in a large locker outside of the dormitories was handy and was a good use of space. Each bed had a light, and a few electric sockets, which I found handy for my devices. It was overall an enjoyable stay, and good value for money, so I will return there when doing a stopover in Geneva.
I was there when there happened to be a few school groups staying, and the kids had that air of "going abroad without their parents" for the first time. So they were quite excitable/noisy into the late evening. There is a laundry, which is handy if you have many things to wash. It would have been useful to have a place to hang up damp clothes to dry - maybe a drying room - as I only had a couple of items of clothing and so it wasn't practical to use a tumble dryer.

Beautiful, central buy noisy
Very noisy with a central staircase that lets the noise from all floors travel. Really not good enough to be honest. There are doors onto the stairwell which should be closed at night.

Very nice stay! The staff are very welcoming, especially Mr. Mesa (hope I spelled your name correctly). The facilities are very complete. The breakfast is very delicious. The key is that it is very cheap and not far from the station.
