    The location was good, not too far from an old Saint-Pierre cathedral. Next to a train station, it was a plus. The staff was fairly friendly which made me feel welcome. Really enjoyed the room with fridge, my bed was exceptionally comfortable.

    The rooms at the hotel were like a dream come true, offering stunning city views that made me feel like I was floating above the hustle and bustle of daily life. As I relaxed on the comfortable sofa, indulging in the wide array of satellite TV channels, it felt like I had my own personal cinema right within reach. The attentive staff at the 24-hour front desk were always ready to cater to my needs, making me feel like a VIP. And let's not forget the complimentary toiletries and hair dryer, which made me feel pampered like a celebrity preparing for a red carpet event.

    Bathroom drainage could improve.

    The room I stayed in was spacious and clean, and I appreciated the large fridge provided. The hotel's location was great, with a short walk to restaurants, supermarkets, and the waterfront area. the friendly and helpful cleaning lady made my stay more enjoyable.

    There were a few downsides to my stay. The outdated furniture in the rooms could definitely use some modernization.

    We had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The location was excellent - just a short walk to the beautiful Geneva lake and the iconic Geneva lake fountain. The hotel facilities were great, with spacious rooms that felt more like apartments. The cleanliness of the rooms was impeccable, and the staff was extremely helpful, friendly, and professional. We were also pleased with the private parking available in the secure inner yard, which made it convenient for us to explore the city without worrying about our car. Additionally, the hotel's proximity to restaurants, cafes, and grocery stores made it easy for us to find a variety of dining options.

    It was all superb.

    We had a wonderful stay at a centrally located hotel with spacious rooms and a big fridge. The highlight was the friendly and helpful cleaning lady who made our stay even more enjoyable. The location was perfect, with restaurants, cafes, and grocery stores just a short walk away. Additionally, the private parking in the secured inner yard was a great convenience. Despite the occasional noise from ongoing building works, we were able to experience the real life of Geneva like locals. The overall experience was superb, and we highly recommend this hotel.
