"This is a youth hostel, the toilet should be shared with others outside the room, regardless of gender. The shower room is not enough for each grid of water pressure. Before choosing which bathroom to use, you can try the water pressure first.
There is a special smell in the room (similar to the damp smell?), but not disgusting, but a feeling of nostalgia (reminiscent of the previous university dormitory). There is no air conditioning in the room, only a fan, but the weather in Geneva is cooler and not a big problem. The place to pay attention to is: the room has less space, if two people have a large suitcase, there may not be enough space to open them all (but a little take down the space, there will be enough space to open the suitcase)
There is a shared kitchen underground, basic kitchen utensils are everything, but remember to clean before use, seasonings (oil, salt) should also be prepared/asked by other guests. You will see people from different nationalities cooking together in the kitchen, although usually each has their own food/eat, but it is difficult to get out, you can also try to talk to them, is a good place to meet new friends outside.
The location is still close to the station (about ten minutes walk to the train station), and only hotels living in Geneva, the traffic in the city is free, you can also take the bus to the station, saving energy, but also pay attention to the time, because the shift is not frequent.
There is a hidden elevator next to the lobby of the hotel. The reception staff did not tell us. We thought we could only take the stairs. Fortunately, the people who were with us were stronger and could help carry the suitcase upstairs. We only found out the day we left. It turned out to be a lift (the old-fashioned kind, the elevator door is like an ordinary door, you have to open the door yourself)"
