The hostel was close to the lake which made it a convenient location.
There were plenty of areas to sit around both inside and out, the reception had a few reasonably priced drinks which was great.
The only thing that would have made it better would be curtains around the bunks for privacy, which I have found in most hostels.

Bad experience in dorms

Dormitories were horrible for the weather, not a single fan in room or available to rent/ borrow from reception despite severe weather warning and ability for private rooms to borrow fans. Temperature in room was unbearable and communal bathrooms were way too small for a large group of people to use on the same floor. In addition, we are a group of females who stayed here and following a noise complaint (that didn’t relate to us as we were asleep/ quiet ) a male member of staff barged into our room without warning, violating any privacy/ security for guests staying here. This was unacceptable as not only were we not responsible for the noise, but it was also an extreme violation of privacy and security for us. If he wanted to investigate a noise complaint, he should’ve knocked/ given us a significant warning before doing so.

Doesn't really have a hostel vibe. Rooms are really small, and there's no aircon or a fan, and it was really hot at night. The breakfast room looks like a huge canteen.
You have to pay to rent a towel, which is quite absurd, considering how expensive the hostel is (yes, I know it's Switzerland, but still).
Huge pro, though: you get a big locker which is activated by your key.
Bathrooms are not bad either.
Stay here if you only need a bed, but don't expect much else.

The amenities were clean and there was a helpful attendant at all times at the desk. Issue was the heat and the linens. The fitted sheets were uncomfortable and there was no air circulation during the heat wave and they do not provide fans to accommodate. Wish they had adapted to the weather and offered us ways to sleep well considering the price of a room.

The bed and common rooms are clean, though there is only one shared bathroom for several rooms and hair was scattered on the bathroom floor. It was really hot day, but there was no a/c in the building, making the inside more unbearable than the outside. The location was nice; price was affordable from Geneva standard. Breakfast was okay.
