Very good breakfast, the price was ok for a stay in Geneva. The rooms and the bathroom were clean.
There was no vending machine, where you could buy some snacks, drinks, or items useful during travellling. You could buy toiletries at the reception, but a vending machine would be more convenient (especially that they had problems with credit card payments). There is a coffee machine but working only for coins, so if you arrive late with no cash there's nothing to eat or drink.

Room and hostel as described. Really well located - 10-15 min walk from Geneva main train station, really close to Lake Geneva - we had a beautiful view of the lake from the shared balcony outside our room. Staff were really friendly, welcoming and helpful and spoke great English (my French is a bit rusty..) We arrived a bit ahead of check-in time but they rang up and confirmed that our room was ready so allowed us to have early access. Room was clean and tidy with fab view and decent facilities. Breakfast was simple but good - cereals, toast, pastries, meats and cheese, yoghurt, fruit, juice, coffee etc - all the expected items. Also allowed us to store our luggage with them on check-out day free of charge (as we'd had one of their private rooms) which was an unexpected bonus. Overall great stay and would stay again if we were in Geneva.
The hostel and our room was really quite warm. We were blessed with beautiful weather (21 degrees and sunny) in May, so it was quite warm/a bit uncomfortable sleeping at night. Would imagine it would be very uncomfortable during the summer as there wasn't any AC or fan. Just something to be mindful of if you're staying during good weather....

The breakfast and the bed (besides the pillow was comfortable. Love the closeness to the lake too. And the personel were very friendly and genuine.
The pillows were very uncomfortable so I could not use mine. Too fat and hard.
