“Basic modern”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012
3
people found this review helpful

This hotel is located very near the station and within walking distance to the lake and the old town. There are a number of restaurants nearby, and a Starbucks almost next door.

The room was modern, clean and light, with a floor to ceiling window, but good soundproofing. It was also very basic: one bed, one plastic chair, one plastic table attached to the wall.
The (free) wifi connection wasn't working.
Pets are accepted.

At 200 euros per night without breakfast, it was expensive for what it offers, as is everything in Geneva where you pay double the price for half the service.

“A comfortable & affordable place to stay in expensive Geneva”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

My husband and I spent 2 nights in Hotel Cristal Design and both us couldn't find anything to complain about. The room is bright, clean and is well equipped with basic amenities. It is conveniently located close to the main train station (Gare Cornavin) and despite it's proximity to the major transport hubs, it remains a quiet place to retreat after a long day of walking / sightseeing. I particularly love the breakfast room which is located on the 8th floor of the hotel that boasts a great view. We had free wifi and free public transport pass (valid for canton Geneva) throughout our stay.

“Cristal (Design?) Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Although this hotel shows up on websites as Cristal Design the word "Design" is not present in Geneva. It is comfortable and well equipped in a small space. Someone put a lot of thought into the "design" of the amenities so that you have anything you might want (except the "minibar" is down the hall), but it could be a hospital as regards colors -- the opaque "plastic" walls are sort of light blue-gray. They should have been colored like those in the breakfast room. Excellent location near the train station. I was unable to use the free computer because "too many people are on".

“Bad service”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Hotel is quite ok, rooms are tiny but service is bad. The lady at c-in is rude and unhelpful. Hotel is half empty but had to fight for a room with king bed. To access wifi i have to enter a password, i was told that internet is ooo and i have to go to starbucks. Go anywhere but here! I need to stay 2 or 3 nights but will certainly leave tomorrow.

“Great Inner City hotel with superb access”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Rooms are exactly what you need if you are touring the city...reasonable size, extremely clean and quiet. Very functional and well put together....nice modern and chic.

Close to train station so you have the 2 sides to this.
1. Great access to trams, buses and rail links around the city...close to the Lake and city centre. Easy tram ride to Balexert for shopping etc.

2. Not the best hangout around the station...what station is?

However we went with 4 children and everyone felt safe and happy the whole time.
definite reccommend and would stay there again.
