Geneva Hostel enjoys a central location in Geneva and is situated in a historic building from the 19th century. It offers free Wi-Fi and a restaurant serving Swiss cuisine in the evenings. Lake Geneva is only 250 metres away.

Geneva Hostel comes with common living room featuring a TV. A shared-use kitchen with a microwave and a dining area is available as well. Lockers are featured on site and the property has a lift.

We appreciated how flexible we were able to book a time for check in. Especially as travelers it is hard to meet check in expectation. Also appreciated how spacious the facilities were. And the staff, really appreciated how the staff was on top of all operations including noise

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    I loved the new and modern feeling of the property. Everything was fresh. Also, the 6 bed dormitory room was massive with tall ceilings, and I didn't feel crammed at all. The beds were comfortable and had charging plugs and a personal reading light. The shared bathrooms were very nice (toilet separate from shower). Everyone in my dormitory kept it tidy. Overall, it was a fantastic hostel/hotel to stay a night or two at.

    We travelled on bicycles. Were provided with a nice bike-parking in the garage of the hostel. The staff at the reception was extremely helpful. The room was very clean. The area around the hostel is very safe with a police station located just on another side of the road. It's a 4 minutes walk to the lake and 20 minutes to the city Cathedral. The breakfast was included in the room price and was very good.

    Opposite train station - so close we were on a train within 15 mins of waking up and packing. Easy to get to with luggage. Great location to walk from and reach the lake and restaurants and bars around town. Comfortable, modern generic but functional rooms with excellent blackout blinds and good beds. Room was quiet despite being so central. Reception is modern, fast checkin/out, and with knowledgeable and helpful staff. It felt very safe. You get a free travel card for Geneva with the hotel stay.

    I did not expect so much facilities in a dormitory hostel that were included in my stay. The price is very cheap including breakfast, free transport card and Wi-Fi
