Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a great experience overall. The rooms were beautifully decorated and incredibly comfortable, truly an oasis in the city. However, the dining options left something to be desired. The location was perfect for exploring Geneva and taking excursions outside the city.
The hotel offers nice rooms with comfortable beds despite potential noise from a nearby Caribbean restaurant. The service is welcoming, and the location, though not the best, is convenient for exploring Geneva. The dining options cater to various tastes, and the facilities are satisfactory.
The hotel rooms are small but very comfortable, and the bathroom is quite spacious with a bathtub and shower. The location is fantastic, just a few minutes' walk from the lake and the central station. The dining experience is very good, with delicious bread and excellent coffee. The staff is friendly and helpful. However, the neighborhood is not the fanciest in Geneva, and there isn't much nightlife around. The hotel provides everything needed for a good start to the day.
Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience. The spacious balcony added a nice touch to the comfy room, and being just a short walk from Geneva's main train station made it super convenient. The reception staff was friendly and helpful, ensuring a smooth check-in and check-out process. The cleanliness of the cozy room was impeccable, though being close to the lift caused some morning noise.
Despite a previous disappointing experience in an Airbnb apartment, the hotel provided a nice, quiet room for a good night's sleep. The rooms were very comfortable and clean, and the kitchenette with its separate sink and facilities was a great addition for a family. The service was top-notch, especially Laura at reception, who provided terrific tips for enjoying Geneva. The location, although a bit unsafe at night, was conveniently situated within walking distance of the station. The dining options were good but somewhat limited. Overall, a hotel I would definitely consider staying in again in Geneva.
The hotel was very clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. The rooms, while comfortable and clean, had a view of the garage which might not be ideal for longer stays, especially when the weather limits balcony use. The service was professional and incredibly friendly. The location was fantastic, being just a short walk to the nearest tram stop and close to both the train station and Geneva lake. Dining options were a bit lacking in variety, but the freshly made Mediterranean dishes were a highlight.
