city hostel Geneva sarl

Very nice service and kind staffs :)

In an expensive city, this budget choice was a relief to find. It is good value for money and well located about a 7 minute walk from the train station with lots of restaurants in easy walking distance. It is about 20/25 minutes walking from the prettier spots of Geneva centre. We booked two single rooms, both were fine, not too small and had a nice big sink each. The staff member in reception was happy to check us in a couple of hours early which was much appreciated. The place seemed pretty clean, and felt safe. Less positively, there are heavy metal grills on the windows instead of curtains or glass which is a bit odd & makes it feel like a cell, and I'm not sure if it makes it very cold in winter (the temperature was fine in May). Also, the shared amenities were old fashioned, not enough toilets or showers on each floor (especially compared to more modern hostels I've stayed in), and there were no soap dispensers/provisions in the toilets or paper towels etc. The kitchen facilities were minimal & unappealing, closed in the evening/overnight and no glasses or crockery were allowed to leave the kitchen. Overall though, it was a decent budget stay, especially if you have a private room

The manager of this business was dishonest and abusive to a colleague on our delegation. He caused her and our whole delegation to lose hours of her work on the most important day of our mission. We would not recommend this hostel to anyone with business in Geneva and we will not book our team to stay there in the future.
