Meininger Hotel Genève Centre Charmilles

We only had 24 hours in Geneva so really just needed a comfy place to leave our luggage for a bit and sleep! Check in was easy and really friendly. We had a really big room which with kids is a bonus as they like space! They had bunk beds and the adults had single twin beds. When we seen them we were a bit worried they looked quite small and a bit like a dorm style bed. However we were really surprised all the beds were comfy and great pillows too. The room was clean and bedding was spotless. Good shower we always had water when needed this was spacious too. Checkout was easy. Star knocked off as my child on bottom bunk found a chocolate wrapper underneath the top bunk and it was quite obvious so shouldn’t really have been missed in making the bed. Also one of the lamp fittings on the bunk bed was loose and came away from wall when my child tried to use it. We didn’t eat or have any breakfast at the hotel so can’t comment on this but it’s in a really good location and bus travel was really easy and great to have the travel passes included.

Basic, small, clean room for our family of four. Conveniently located on the bus line that takes you to the lake and train station. Bookings and check in and out is easy. Basic breakfast is included, but breakfast room is small and choices are limited. Elevator is a plus, as well as free bus passes for guests. overall, a good place for a day or two while you are in transit.

We really liked the hotel. Great price for a really big room, with a desk, and a TV and a couch....The shower was great, I was sure the water would seep out from under the door a bit, but it didn't. There's a General Kitchen where we were able to put yogurt and food in the fridge...I was skeptical at first, but it was great! Definitely will stay here again.

Better hostal than thé poor city hostal Genève. Service customer understable and efficient. Well located. Good ambiance in general on the area. I recommand for everyone stops in Genève.. Ill come back in a while for lot of concerts that i organise. Thanks

The stay was a "comfortable one" in a 6-bed dorm room (with sufficient space, a table in the middle of the room, an ensuite shower room & an ensuite toilet); and also pretty good was the breakfast with a variety of items (at an extra cost). Then, there's a "nice plus" for this place of being in a quiet location (with a tree-lined street in front & also like a small park nearby) but actually also still in a walking distance of about half an hour from the main Cornavin Station if arriving by train (and also the "bus area" for inter-city ones like FlixBus & such at just about a further 5-minute walk from Cornavin). And yes, my thanks are to the staff at the front desk especially for the help in getting my Geneva Pass which came in handy getting around the city on buses during the next two days in the city.

This was a good hostel. Plenty of space to store our bags and access to the kitchen/laundry before check-in. The staff were all very professional and friendly. Kitchen facilities were clean and sufficient. The bathroom was clean and the rooms as well.

We recently moved to Geneva and were looking for a place to stay that would accommodate us. 2 adults and three kids. We came across this hotel that met our criteria. We did not know what to expect. When we arrived, it was all self-service, you had to bring your luggage to your room, and they also had storage for the bigger stuff you may have. It was a bit inconvenient but it was still.manageable. Got into our room and was glad that it was very clean and was what exactly we needed. They offerred breakfast and the spread was not a lot but it was very good spread. Our family enjoyed our breakfast for 5 days. They also have a common kitchen that you can cook and that was very convenient too. They had a game room that our kids enjoyed. There is also a mall and supermarket close by which was convenient. The area has a lot of place to explore. Lastly, the staff were very helpful which we appreciated. Overall the price and place was very good. I higly recommend it!

Very modern and clean, with a unique space décor and great transportation links to the city centre. Our quad room was very spacious, with a private walk-in shower, individual lockers, complimentary snacks and drinks on the desk when we first arrived, and comfortable beds. The buffet breakfast has a lot of nice options, and the communal areas offer a good amount of places to work as well as a games room and kitchen.

Despite my high expectations from the wonderful reviews I ended up in a very disappointing situation 2 nights in a row. Would not recommend this place to anyone. 1st night I was placed in a very smelly and stuffy 4 people dorm, urine on the floor and terribly loud tenants. The next morning I had asked to move me to a different room and the people at the reception had said there'd been a lot of complaints on the specific room, but for some reason they chose to place me there anyway. On the 2nd night I was moved to a 2 people bed, thinking they might be rewarding me in a way but when I came back that night I had to sleep in the same bed with a stranger. This was completely unacceptable in my opinion. Terrible Hostel.
