City Hostel delivers the basics of what one expects from an average hostel – good beds, clean rooms, free wi-fi, powerful showers, helpful (if not exactly friendly) staff – with no frills attached. However, for the cost, I expected more. It is also rather soulless. Better communal areas would improve this. More

As a good a hostel as you could ever want - very clean and newly renovated bathrooms (even though shared they were clean) - rooms have shutters that can close to keep the room pitch dark- really nice - free wifi - travel card for unlimited travel in Geneva (bonus) - well priced for a really good location (not dodgy...

Nice location: close to the train station, most of sights of Geneve can be reached by foot. Single room with shared bedroom was the cheapest option in Geneve but still expensive. The reception is closed for 1 hour at lunchtime which can be a problem. Rooms and common areas are very clean. More

The bathrooms are clean and showers are hot and pressure is great. I had all my questions answered by the friendly reception... More

This was a great place to stay in Geneva, particularly if you are on a budget as nearby hotels are quite overpriced and not great quality. The hostel is situated on the main route through Geneva where you can access the tram. The train station is less than a ten minute walk up the road. I couldn't have asked for... More

The first thing I noticed about the hostel was its friendly staff members. The ambience was great and rooms were clean and tidy. I stayed there for about one month (that is the maximum time that one can use the hostel in a single stretch I guess). Kitchen was small to accommodate 5 people at a time, but occupied with... More
