Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located near the train tracks, offering easy access for travelers, although the noise might be an issue for some. While pets are allowed, the housekeeping service needs improvement as safety hazards like broken glass were overlooked.
The hotel had rooms that differed from the advertised ones, being very compact and uncomfortably hot. The staff was friendly and helpful in the Paquis neighborhood. The location was convenient for accessing shops and tram rides, but the interiors appeared dated. The dining experience lacked variety, although the staff provided a pleasant bistro-style breakfast service.
The hotel had a tired and very basic room, but surprisingly quiet despite facing a busy avenue. However, it was insanely cold, which was quite annoying with young children, especially when there were empty adjoining rooms all around.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and well-decorated, which was great, but the fact that they were connected was a bit annoying, especially with young children. The location was fantastic, very central and close to the train station, but the dining could use some improvement. The service was helpful overall, but there were some haphazard directions given. The facilities were decent, with some room for enhancement.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with polite and professional service. The perfect location suits those working at Palais de Nations, with easy access to transportation. The dining experience meets expectations but may be considered pricey. Despite some areas with room for improvement, the overall stay was enjoyable.
The hotel location is extremely convenient, making travel around Geneva a breeze. However, the room setup was not ideal, being opposite and not joined in the 'Superior' category. The service was far from helpful initially but improved. The dining experience was below expectations, lacking variety. Despite some drawbacks, the hotel is close to major transport hubs.
The hotel was very tight for two occupants, especially with young children, and felt uncomfortably hot. Despite the polite and helpful staff who spoke multiple languages, the room service experience was not the best. The location, although central, was not relaxing but had excellent access to transport options. The dining options lacked variety and quality. Facilities need significant improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and beautifully adorned with a lovely veranda, but unfortunately, the temperature was uncomfortably hot, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep for two nights. The service from the hotel staff was exceptional, as they were incredibly kind, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure my comfort. The location was excellent, conveniently close to a supermarket and Geneva's attractions, and I felt very safe in the area. The dining options were relatively basic but sufficient, and the price was reasonable at 15 CHF. Overall, the hotel provided a pleasant stay but with some room for improvement.
The hotel had comfortable and clean rooms styled in an antique way. However, the lack of lighting in the evening was a noticeable issue, and the room temperature was too hot, affecting our sleep for two nights. The location was great, near the Geneva Cornavin train station and with easy access to transportation options.
The hotel's location made traveling around Geneva a lot easier, but the area didn't feel very safe. The rooms were not clean, except the first floor, which was well-equipped with generous amenities. The dining experience was average and not worth the money spent. On the plus side, the city center location was nice and helpful for guests, offering a range of services; however, accessing the sauna was impossible due to a lack of a fair booking system.
The hotel feels luxurious and offers a central location near the train station and other attractions. The rooms, despite the stuffiness due to inadequate AC, are comfortable. The service is friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience.
The hotel has a convenient location, but the rooms were disappointing with poor sleep quality due to stuffiness. The service was below average with a lack of awareness in certain areas. On the positive side, the location is ideal for those relying on public transportation.
I requested a quiet room away from the busy train tracks but unfortunately was not accommodated. The facilities seemed old and not worth the high rates per night. The hotel might not be suitable for families with young children due to the noise from the train tracks. On a positive note, the staff was helpful and nice during my stay.
The hotel had beautifully decorated albeit small rooms that were clean and comfortable. Unfortunately, the breakfast offered very limited options, especially for guests with specific diets. The facilities were a bit oldish, and the high rates per night did not quite match the overall experience.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-good experiences. The rooms, although a bit oldish, had a kitchen and were nice and clean, but the housekeeping was disappointing with broken glass left on the floor. The service was overall nice and very helpful, especially from Joao, who went out of the way to address our concerns. The location was convenient, close to the supermarket and Geneva Station, but it was uncomfortably warm. The dining options were quite disappointing with a very limited range of basic options. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
