Budget, Hostel with Decent Facilities”

As its slogan says, clean & safe. Once you have received your key card, you can freely access your room, toilets and the building. Only hassle is checking in, it could be a very long wait if there are many people at the same time. Breakfast has a good selection. No complaints whatsoever regarding my stay here.

Very kind and super helpful staff. Good breakfast and lovely to be able to use the public transport for free. Downside: check in should be easier, hat to wait for 20 minutes for the "system to update" which wasnt pleasant, however the stuff is not to blame at all, since they were super nice and friendly and explained the issue.

Nice location; 10 mins walk from both Genève station and Flixbus stop. 1 mins from the lakeside trackway. In general public transportation pass and breakfast are all included which is a good money saving option. Lockers work with the card key so no need to bring your own lock. Power outlets overhead don’t match with EU standards but check on the wall ; 1 or 2 works (Always good to bring your own applicators though).

The hotel is near to the bus station (~1km) and it’s ok to checkin late (I came at 1am). It’s convenient to me. The checkout is also easy and fast. Seem like no aircon but I didn’t feel hot. Bathrooms are clean but Im not sure totally how many bathrooms for each floor, I just saw 3 and 1 WC. Luckily I didn’t have to wait too long while rushing to the bus station. Nice breakfast 👍
