What reviewers say

Many visitors praise Substation X-World for its great selection of products, professional and welcoming staff, and pleasant atmosphere. However, a significant number of reviews complain about strong unpleasant smells like old cigarettes and urine, cleanliness issues including feces on walls, and a lack of functioning facilities. There are also questions raised about the legality of different pricing for cash versus card payments.

About this place SUBSTATION X-WORLD No 1 On 3 Levels Climatised

The Sub (listed as Substation X-World) is a dedicated gay venue on Rue de Neuchâtel in the Pâquis area near Geneva's Cornavin station. It occupies three air-conditioned levels and, from its name and how it presents itself, works as a cruising bar for men, not a dance club. We have no confirmed details of the facilities or opening hours. Check its website or phone 022 900 14 69 before you go, and expect Swiss prices.

follow up review: AVOID this place. They replied and blame me for the "experience." I don't smoke, I wasn't the one that peed in a booth, oh, and there was poop on a wall. you can catch a disease just walking through there. previous review: Smells bad, old cigarettes and urine, dirty, only two guys there but the guy at the counter said there we're lots, 19 CHF and 20 with a credit card, that's over 20 USD, crazy expensive for the very bad experience. If you're desperate go there but I suggest skip it, you won't be happy.
