“Definately Not 5 Star”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 September 2011
3
people found this review helpful

We stayed for 5 nights for our son's wedding in this hotel. First the good points, the food was outstanding except breakfast. The location is fantastic and the accommodation good. There are only 5 bedrooms and 2 suites. This is a restaurant the hotel is an afterthough and suffers because of it. I expect rooms to be serviced twice a day in a 5* hotel. Our room was only serviced once in the evening over 5 nights. we were supplied with 1 hand towel for 24 hours! There were a lot of little repairs needed, Lights in the bathroom, the flush, fittings loose. Furnishings were good but basic. The television was faulty and they could not get it fixed for 5 days? Nothing was very serious but it was annoying. Breakfast was a joke. There was nothing prepared but we were told it was a buffet which would be set up on an adjoining table. A cake stand was brought with 4 pieces of ham and 6 small pieces of cheese together with 2 bread sticks 2 croissants and 2 pain du chocolate but no other bread and the butter and jam were in containers more suitable for a travel lodge not a Michelin starred restaurant. There was fruit in a bowl but nothing prepared. Orange juice was fresh squeezed excellent but Cereal in little Kellogg Boxes and the Yogurt was so late I had almost finished. To be charged £64 for the privilege was the icing on the cake. For all that the wedding was excellent just stay somewhere else.

“Feel like you are the only guest at the hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 August 2011
1

You read that the hotel has only a few rooms and a great restaurant. It is exactly true and it also means there will not be the same services for hotel guests that you would expect from a 'real' hotel. The food is excellent, the breakfast is very french - you only get some bread, cheese, salami, juice and excellent coffee. If you come to this hotel you need to appreciate its ambiance and its location. Thousands of roses are just 200 meters from the hotel, you can see lake Geneva and you feel like all the hustle is somewhere very far away. There is not much staff at the hotel, typically one person at the reception being quite busy. The hotel is run efficiently that way of course having impact on service. Those who are working are very nice and their service is excellent. This hotel can be perfect for you if you expect the things it can offer. If you expect something like a small version of a big hotel you will be disappointed.

“nice view but not 5 stars”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 April 2011

people found this review helpful

they call themselves switzerlands smallest 5 star hotel, which brings me right to the point... its never 5 stars - at best 4. very few nice, spacious and newly renovated rooms with a view of the lake (at least some of them), but lobby, reception, elevator and staircase clearly need a makeover as they do look a bit rundown. people say the restaurant is very good. have not tried it except for the breakfast which is a joke compared to what u pay for it. 32 swiss francs for the smallest buffet i have ssen in my life. 1 tiny plate of ham and other cold meats, an even smaller plate of cheese and some cereals. thats it...! i would say more a hotel for a weekend getaway with the misses rather than for a biz trip.

“Amazing place”

person found this review helpful

probably one of the best kept secrets in Geneva, the food was amazing and the gardens were absolutely gorgeous yet very close to the city center. having stayed at Mandarin, Four Seasons and Kempinsky before this would definitely be our choice next time we are in Geneva, much more personal and amazing.
