Place to stay in Geneva
Hi!

I'm going to Geneva together with 3 friends on the 18th of march and we couldn't find an accommodation with a reasonable price for this date.. We'll stay until the 21st.

I already tried couch surfing, hostel international and cite universitaire, among others, and it's not good.

We arrive quite late, around 11pm, and maybe we can sleep at the airport, I don't know... I hope someone can help us in this situation....

I can help with some tips about Brazil, Norway, Morocco and Spain.



Hope to hear from someone!

All the best!

Hi There,



I don't think so you would be allow to sleep at the airport. City hostel is one of the cheapest hostel in Geneva and situated center of the town, 10 min walk from train station (above the rue de Lausanne, http://map.search.ch/geneve/rue-ferrier-2.en.html). Try to book now. it gets fill up very fast.



Good luck.

Hei, thanks for the replies! I've checked this city hostel before and also no places for the 18th... Is there something going on in Geneva on this date? Or the 19th, at least?

As to going to Ferney-Voltaire and the Hotel Bellevue, is there some bus going that late in the night, around 11pm, from the airport or after crossing the border and going there? I'll try to check that out this monday also..

Thanks very much!

Best Regards!

Hello

If you guys can't find somewhere, then you can crash at my appartment, I have a spare room and a fairly large lounge area, so I think we would be able to manage for a couple of nights.

I live a little outside Geneva, but accesible by bus!

Let me know

Simon

I'm working as an aupair, and the family just told me that i have to go on holiday for 10 days, but they just told me 3 days ago, i have to be away from the house on the 15 and is too late to get good flights or cheap place to stay :(

Any ideas will be welcome!

Hei Scherkie,

really not nice this short notice time from this family.. not fair, hope you can find some good place then.

Just some more options for you:

http://www.homestpierre.ch/

http://www.hihostels.com/dba/hostel055035.en.htm

http://www.asso-etud.unige.ch/cite-uni/en/hebergementindex.php



Besides the http://www.cityhostel.ch/English that frdousi mentioned

and Ferney-Voltaire that it seems a good option also, like DavidL said.



It also depends on the days you will stay.. i just know that for the 18th is complicated...



Good luck!

COUCHSURFING!!!



www.couchsurfing.com, check out the geneva group too, it's very active and someone will probably lend you a place to stay. (tip: hosts always appreciate a little thank you gift ;0)
