I only spent one night here so I could do both the Bernina express and the Glacier express (I highly recommend doing both by the way!), and the JNB hostel was just what I needed to break up the journey. I arrived quite early after being on a night train, its a short walk from the station through the town,... More

I recently stayed overnight in Chur prior to catching the Bernina Express (amazing by the way!). We arrived late on after having spent the whole day travelling, Marco who welcomed us was very warm and kind and you got the impression he couldn't do enough for you. We quickly showered in the block (basic but clean) and went to sleep.... More

We were in Chur for one night and desperately wanted to watch an Important English soccer match. We were told our only hope was the JBN Sportsbar so we located it in what seemed to be in a red light area, as noted by a previous reviewer. The young guys running the bar were incredibly helpful, making the night one... More

This place was OK, although nothing stands out. Staff was OK. The locations is on the other side of town, although Chur is small. Hotel seemed to be located in the red light district, although it's Switzerland so how dangerous can it be. The room was clean. The bathrooms were OK, although I arrived very late and find that there... More

With a name like Just Be Nice how can you go wrong? JBN is an affordable hotel/hostel in Downtown Chur. The rooms are well appointed, each with their own decor. Bathrooms are spacious, clean and modern. Table soccer in the hallway, internet, computer for guest use, and other mod cons. The management is young and friendly, very helpful with regards... More

The hostel's located right on the edge of old town, near hiking trails, near the cable car to go up the mountain, and a few clubs. Even with my room facing the club street, I had the best sleep - windows closed, of course. Staff were pretty awesome and helpful. Thanks to Marco for all the bits of advice (loved... More

For being my first hostel experience I was impressed. Only stayed here one night, and ended up in the 9 bunk bed room (which only had 5 other people in it that night). Staff was friendly. Even the food in the bar downstairs was really good. Bathrooms were clean and the room was clean. Had a communal Foosball table. And... More

The JBN is located in Chur's nightlife area. It is not just Chur's red light district. There are a lot of very good clubs and bars nearby. Also we want to make clear that the area in which the JBN is located is not more or less safe than any other part of Chur. In fact Chur is a very... More
