Geneva Hostel
Rue Rothschild, 28-30, Paquis, 1202 Geneva, Switzerland – Great location - show map
I like the environment of the hostel. The stuff was good, the breakfast was good. They have a nice locker system and the location is also good.

Geneva Hostel is centrally located in Geneva and is in a historic building from the 19th century. It provides free Wi-Fi and a restaurant serving Swiss cuisine in the evenings. Lake Geneva is only 270 yards away. Some of the simply furnished rooms have a private bathroom and others feature shared-use bathroom facilities. A breakfast is served daily. 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 an elevator. Restaurants can be found in the surrounding area. The Geneva Transport Card, providing free public transportation, is already included in the rate. The Gautier Bus Stop (tram line 1) is a 4-minute walk away and Geneva Airport can be reached within 15 minutes by car.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.8 for a two-person trip.
