Any tips to search for low-budget accomodations/hostels in Switzerland?

Question

I plan to visit Bern, Lucerne and Geneva. Any possibility to find a cheap accomodation or cheap-ER accomodation in any of these cities? Because it does seem like the word 'cheap' is one to use in Switzerland.

Answer 1

Stay at a Hotel called Hotel Alpenhoff. Its up in the mountains, and honestly a beautifull place to stay, and pretty affordable.

Answer 2

www.rooms.ch

this is a pretty well known search site for budget travelers to switzerland.

Answer 3

try:

http://www.swissbackpackers.ch/

and that's old old cliche about expensive Switzerland. neighbouring countries are about the same but Switzerland has not yet lost its reputation for being expensive.

Answer 4

Hostelworld.com

Answer 5

Quite correct - i use to rely on Swiss cab drivers at the train stations to take me to budget hotels - very dependable.
