Very Good
Very nice. Check-in was easy; they spoke English and French. I was impressed with how the keycards only let you in your specific locker, floor bathroom, etc.
I did bring a towel because I didn't want to spend the 3 euros to get one from the front desk.

Poor
I think this was probably the worst experience I have ever had in a hostel. At first it looked very nice, but everything started going wrong as soon as I walked into the reception. Check-in was at 15:00, and I arrived at 14:45. I had paid for a city taxi, they registered me, and told me I would get the room key in about 15 minutes and that I should wait. Even though I was sitting right there, they completely forgot about me. The staff were in a small room behind the reception talking, and until I went up to them myself at 15:30 to remind them about the room key, they had not remembered me at all. I was sitting there tired after traveling with my luggage, which was very frustrating. It is also obvious that they do not have enough staff at the reception, and this affects the whole experience.
They also did not say anything about breakfast, and when I asked, they replied very rudely, saying that everything was written on the receipt. The tone and attitude of the staff made it a very unpleasant moment.
As for the room, keep in mind that you have to pick up your bedding from reception and make your own bed. When you leave, you also have to strip the bed and bring the bedding back to reception. This is very strange because in all the hostels I have stayed in, I have never seen anything like this. It is clear that the hostel is cutting costs on room service, which is disappointing since the room is already quite expensive for a hostel.
Another problem is that the hostel allows check-ins late in the evening, even after 23:00. Guests who arrived around midnight came into the room while everyone was sleeping. They were loud, turned on the lights to put bedding on their beds, and banged the lockers while storing their bags. They woke up many of us in the room.
The floor in the room is extremely creaky when someone walks, the windows are poor quality and you can hear construction noise from outside all night.

Wonderful
Good value for money inclusive of breakfast
Also, was a 2 mins walk to the lake - worth every penny
Just not the size of bed I was prepared for and 6 in a room could be a little overwhelming but that’s what you pay for so can’t fault the property

Fair
I liked the low cost and location.
There were not enough showers for the amount of people on the floor. I think there was one shower/bathroom for 18 women? You need to pay extra for soap, shampoo, and a towel. The bed was uncomfortable, and the floor was very creaky and loud so you can hear if anyone on the floor gets up in the middle of the night. It was not clear I would not be able to get breakfast after I turned in my key. I wish there were more activities to help people socialize there.

Staff, cleaning, breakfast were good
The floor in female dormitory room 72 was very creaky, which is quite a problem because it disturbs everyone when someone walks around during quiet hours.

Pleasant
Great location, 10-15 minute walk from Bains de paquis. Great for taking a swim and hopping back to the hostel to shower. Best breakfast I've had from a hostel. Good lockers outside of the room you unlock with your key card.
When you check in you collect a roll of bedding. You have to make your own bed and then strip it and return it all to check out. Was quite annoying to have someone leaving in the early AM and stripping their bed. The bunks are also just wooden bunk beds with no curtains and nothing fancy about them.
Thank you for your information!
