I did not mind the fact that the room was very old. This was shown on the pictures on the website. What I did mind was the fact that the shower was broken (and not fixed after I had contacted / complained the reception) the heather was on a non-movable 30 degrees, there were hairs in the bathroom, the bed...

The hotel has a good location, the staff is helpful, but is a bit dangerous. You can find hooker in the elevator or listen screaming during the night. I will not come back to this hotel. More

Probably the most expensive city in the world. Hotel was ok kinda old, right next to Lake Geneva it's more like an apartment where you have ur own kitchen, so not bad if u don't want to eat out all the time. If you're staying here i'd suggest going to a supermarket like Megros and buying food from there and... More

The hotel is very well located for getting around Geneva with easy access to all forms of transport. Our studio (Room 47) was very spacious with beds for up to 5 people to sleep, though as I was only with my wife, we did not maximize our use! Main beds were comfortable though the ones in the second room (which... More

As surprising as it is to some, Swiss hotels are not great, nor are they very comfortable. This hotel in the center of Geneva (rue Basses, NOT the train station side of the city) is very cheap in comparison. I needed a room for one night because of a very early business appointment in Rive. No one to stay with... More

feels like going back in time to the Victoria Era, everything feels old and not in good condition. the location is not that near to the train station either. Room is generally clean. Could get a better room for that price More

We arrived at 1 a.m., so we didn't have much chance to change hotels. The carpet in our room was so soiled it was disgusting. The paint on the ceiling was peeling. There was a kitchenette with the room, and the cooker was covered in grease: we finally got it cleaned (grudgingly). There was no indication in any pre-booking information,... More

Finding a hotel in Geneva can be challenging at certain times of year. I basically found the last room with a "reasonable" price in the city in this hotel. In spite of the nice pictures available online, it's not exactly a pleasant place. My room was fine in terms of space, but with old furniture and not so clean carpet,... More

My friend and I stayed in the large apartment in this hotel and it was ideal for our needs. We were on a city break to experience Geneva and have somewhere to put our heads for the night. The staff were friendly on both arrival and departure, and tried to answer any questions that we had during our stay too.... More
