Dear Guest, I am sorry that we were not able to cancel your non refundable reservation without any charges. Unfortunately while choosing the non refundable option the conditions are strict and non changeable. We will be pleased to make a gesture of goodwill if you ever come again in Geneva in the future. We wish you a nice and safe summer, best Regards, Sandrine

Very close to the railway station, perfect for us.

Pros: Great bathroom, good sized room, quiet, clean, great for travellers. Close to the railway station.
Cons: Happy with all
Location: Tram and bus access very close by. Close to the airport. close to CERN.
Main aim was visiting CERN so very useful for that reason, a 25 minute tram ride. Very central to railway station which was perfect for us arriving and departing by train. Very helpful staff with queries for dinner, travel. Good breakfast buffet for reasonable cost. Great room, warm, good bathroom, clean, quiet, easy access. Very happy with this hotel

Superb place to stay at reasonable cost. Friendly staff and great service. Compact tidy room. A pleasant stroll to the central city with Geneva's free transport pass for visitors. Just out of the red light district, made some interesting sights.
