“Good Basic Hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I was forced to make some late changes to a vacation plan which suddenly left me at the Geneva train station, quite tired and all I wanted to do was crash in the closest hotel bed. I had no time to conduct any research so I picked this hotel simply by its exterior.

The good was that it was walking distance to the train station, Quick and efficient (it is Switzerland) check-in, clean and a nice diversified well served breakfast.

The not so good was it was pricey, a little run down, small noisy room.

Additionally I shoulda dd that its within walking distance of the old sector of Geneva (across the bridge) which was another consolation.

“Bed bugs HORROR! Place is dirty!”

My room was full of bed bugs - evidence was undisputable! Hotel management was very casual in their response. HIgh risk that entire hotel is or could be infected. Awful awful experience. Room was also very dirty!

“Low quality and Expensive”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 March 2011
2
people found this review helpful

VERY old and dated bed and breakfast type hotel. Close to the train station and Lake Geneva. SMALL elevator. EXPENSIVE rate. NO A/C which does not help during the summer months. Was supposed to have a long term stay but ended up staying for only one night and even that was unbearable. Breakfast was decent for what it was. Key to the room was attached to a HUGE keychain, not like the current keycards modern hotels use. Don't stay here - find yourself a much decent place to stay that's worth the money you pay.

“Horribly bad value, rude service, don't stay here if you can avoid it”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 February 2011
3
people found this review helpful

I stayed here with a colleague for two nights. Geneva is difficult for business travellers as prices are generally high, and quality can be low. But this is the worst I've seen. First, when we checked in, the desk was manned by one of the cleaners who didn't speak English. She gave my colleague a key to someone else's room, did not give us our transport tickets, and didn't take down any of our details. Eventually we settled in our rooms- which were very basic, very hot and stuffy, and there was some blood on my shower curtain. Someone tried to enter my room twice, which made me feel quite unsafe, and there was so much noise it was impossible to sleep. When we left that evening, we were scolded by the person sitting at the check in desk now that we 'forgot' to give our passport details and that we should have waited for other personnel to check us in. Incredible.
We paid 360 francs per room for two nights, which is high even for Geneva standards, but an absolute shameless ripoff for this hotel.

“low quality,and expensive”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2011

person found this review helpful

Rooms are small, some of them are facing to a main road with heavy traffic / others to a dark lichthof. Rooms were not very clean, old furniture, dirty carpet and wardrobe.
Cleanliness of the bed and bathroom was ok, but time to time there was no hot water. Not every room has bathroom, the unlucky guests should use the public bathrooms/WC located on the corridor. This is was quite surprising to a 3 star hotel for 170CHF/night in Switzerland...
The location of the hotel is good, Geneva main train station and the lake can be reached within 3 minutes.
Breakfast is ok, medium quality continental food (no hot dish).
No wifi, no minibar.
