VIVA Hostel

Worst hostel I have ever stayed in. There is no reception so you can’t speak to anyone about any of your problems, room was full of sawdust and there are no lights in the room which makes it impossible to do anything after sunset. There are no lockers and also the door to the dorm doesn’t lock. Also the fire door to the street was jammed open when we arrived meaning that anyone off the street (which was lined with strip clubs) could’ve walked straight into our dorm and taken all of our stuff. The other hostel users were constantly staring at us throughout the day and night which made us feel incredibly unsafe. One guest specifically spent all day and night awake in his bed staring at us and regularly putting his hand inside his boxers. Another guest appeared to be living in the hostel for a significant period of time. There were only four guests other than ourselves in the whole hostel, it felt like it should have been closed. We left the hostel after one night and immediately booked a different place. Never stay here as a female traveller and never come here alone. Attempted to contact management by both email and text but have recieved no response.

Digital service. No lockers. The music and beat from the club is infact really surprisingly loud. Price feels expensive for what it is but considering it’s in Switzerland it really is the most affordable option. After all I slept well, the digital service worked and the people staying there were friendly. Felt safe solo traveling and staying in the dorm. Also at least in hostel world website it says that there would be microwave and a fridge but there are no such facilities.

The best thing about this place is the room size, bed and its overall cleanliness. We are staying for 3 nites in private room with shared bathrooms. The bed is comfortable and warm. There is TV inside the room. We didn't really use the common area except the bathroom. We have a good stay at this house. Location is perfect 13 minutes walk from main train station and it just at the border of old town.

Room, common room and bathroom clean, the only positive from this stay. Definitely a one night only hostel. No lockers for luggage and bedroom door didn’t even close properly. No towels available, not even to hire! No staff either, can only contact via WhatsApp. Find another option in chur if you can, use this hostel as a last resort.

SOOOOOO LOUD!!!!! The music from the club had us jolted awake in our sleep. The vibrating almost gave me a heart attack. It was like a constant earth rattling base until 3am. No knob in the showers. You have to keep pressing a button to have the water stay on more than 15 seconds at a time. Also there is nowhere to get dressed or hang your clothes without them getting soaked with water and the towels were the size of dish towels. They wouldn't have covered anything. Also 3 flights of rickety spiral stairs that were incredibly fun to carry our heavy luggage up. No elevator. This is a place for kids that want to stay out all clubbing, not anyone that wants a restful sleep. The owner was away for our stay but seemed nice. However, we will NEVER be coming back due to the lack of quality sleep we had.

Way too loud, on a Thursday!! The room, bed, bathrooms are clean. Close to the train station. No kitchen, no breakfast. Yes, lots of stairs but they are remodeling the place. I didn't have a good night sleep which is a big deal for me.

If I could give zero stars I would. Very mistakenly booked this for one night for my family of 4. It is right above a club Music pumped until 3am. The vibrations were so loud it was as though we had the speaker just outside the room. Awful. Do not book!

We stayed here one night on a cycling tour and were not particularly impressed. The room was fine for the price and the shower room worked well and was clean but the sound of the club downstairs when trying to get to sleep was laughable. It was virtually impossible to sleep here with the sound of the club mixed with stag dos returning from nights out. This is certainly a party hostel so I wouldn't stay here again if I was planning to go to bed before 3am. The breakfast was poor and overpriced.
