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 Bedrooms were outdated but for the price especially including breakfast can’t complain.

Stay was average. The showers don’t have any kind of soap or shower gel in them, which is strange for a hostel.
You also have to pay a deposit for a towel of 13 francs and you get 10 back on check out.

Great hostel in Geneva. Walking distance to the water and the area you want to be. Included breakfast was basic (sandwichs, croissants, cereal, a couple fruits) but good.
