Average

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.

The staff was friendly and knowledgable. I appreciated the lockers and that everything is accessed by keycard, so the level of safety is raised. Unfortunately, with a hostel, when you are sleeping with strangers you do run into a risk of sharing a room with people who are loud, not conscious of others, or messy. This is not a fault of this hostel, but always something to be aware of for any first-time hostel go-er

Information about the area

Geneva, Switzerland

The city of Geneva has a population of 200,000 inhabitants and is one of largest in Switzerland, is the capital of the canton and is situated on the Lac Leman, also named Lake of Geneva, it is divided by Rhône River, which emerges from the lake. It is a nice and charming city with numerous bridges. The Gothic Cathédrale de St-Pierre towers over the vieille ville, Geneva’s old section of narrow, winding streets and flower-bedecked homes. Climb the north tower for a spectacular view of the old town. Most of the city’s museums are in the vieille ville. The Musée d’Art et d’Histoire prides itself on its eclecticisms. Exhibits range from ancient Greek vases to Dadaism art. The Petit Palais houses a wonderful collection of modern art in an intimate 19th century palace. Geneva’s lakefront is beautiful. The audacious Jet d’Eau is one of the world’s tallest fountain. Don’t miss the manicured Jardin Anglais with its famous Horloge Fleurie, a large clock adorned with flowers, erected in homage to Geneva’s clock industry. Geneva remains the international city it has been for centuries, epitomizing the Swiss neutrality which has welcomed such diverse visitors as Lenin and Borges. Today, diplomats and the executives of innumerable corporations fill Geneva’s offices, though seldom its spotless streets. Sedate and picturesque, Geneva is the most pleasant city in Switzerland.
