“Room with a kitchen near the lake in Geneva”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

The hotel is near the Geneva lake, not far from the international institutions and has two parts Longchamp and Drake, linked by a long hall with a breakfast room. Stayed at the Drake in a room with a kitchen. The room was quite large, and the bed comfortable. The room was clean and quiet and a bit of the lake could be seen from the window. There was no microwave or a kettle to warm water, but one could warm food and water in a pot and the fridge was useful.
There was a buffet breakfast, which was OK with cream cheese, ham, boiled eggs, cornflakes, yogourt, coffee, tea, juices and fruit salad from a tin. Having healthier cerials and fruit would be an improvement.
Staff was very friendly and helpful.
But internet was not free, and the cost was per hour - quite expensive.

“best breakfast of all 3-star hotels in Geneva”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2011

Realyy, this hotel has the best breakfast of all 3-star hotels I've been in Geneva. Variety of food and drinks, nice atmosphere. The rooms are spacious and if you ignore that some things need renovation (bathroom especially), you can enjoy your stay. Nice view over the lake, quiet neighboorhood, not far from United Nations Palace and ITU (only 2 tram stations), walking distance to the main railway station Cornavin, but also near to the center of Geneva and its shopping and historic area.

“An Average Hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2011

This is an average hotel in value terms. The rooms are neat and clean, however in my room there was no fridge/mini bar, the television was an old style, no water bottle ( which is like basic), however, its tariff is comparable to most of the hotels in the same category. What I liked about the hotel is a nice terrace attached to my room, the breakfast was okay, it is only 10 minutes walk from central station 'Gare Cornavin' , is very close to many of the nice restaurants in the town, Lake Geneva and to other intergovernmental organisations.

“the spirit of the '70s, but nice and clean”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 October 2011

The hotel is about 10 minutes walk from the main railwaystation (the area is full of hotels) and about 2-3 minutes from the tram station. The hotel's decoration is outdated (as other reviewers mentioned as well), but otherwise the hotel is clean and nice (the staff is gorgious!). Rooms have wall-size windows and if you are so lucky to get a room on an upper level and looking to the Leman, then you can enjoy the lake from your bed. I'd certainly recommend this hotel.

“Very good”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We had booked a double room there for one night in Sept'2010. The hotel is large and so the rooms are also very nice. The room was spacious, had a separate kitchen and the bathroom was also good in size. Our room was on the 5th floor which gave us good view of the city.The hotel's location is good in the sense that the the tram stop is just at a 2 minutes walk from the hotel. For airport, you can take tram up to the Geneva station and from there metro to the airport, it is very cheap , convenient and does not take much time in reaching airport as the frequency of the trams/train is good.

Breakfast was very good and had choice of bread,cereals, juices,hot drinks etc.

Overall a good hotel.
