Room was cleaned daily. The staff were fantastic; always pleasant and so helpful. A great base to explore the old town of Geneva, and you may qualify for the Geneva Travel Card which allows free travel on public transport around the Canton of Geneva.

Friendly but dated

Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Location is central Geneva on the edge of the old city and points of interest. Restaurant downstairs in the office building was very friendly but only had croissants for breakfast. Room did not look like it had been updated since 1950. Entrance door was into the bathroom. Shower was tight. Good hot water. I guess this is what one gets for the price in Geneva.
Entrance to room from the hallway.

We chose this hotel for its central location close to old city and its affordability. They offered to set up our room as 2 singles or a double. Our room was simple but clean. We had 2 very basic bathrooms which worked well for us. The staff were super helpful and friendly. We needed a key or code to gain access to the elevator to rooms, felt safe. This is not a 5 star luxurious place, but we were very satisfied with the accommodations and location. Nice view from balcony too.
