A nice place for a trio
A convenient location near the train station. Rooms were clean and worked for our short stay in Geneva. But rather bare bones and weird lighting. Cost was good for the area but expensive for this type of room

I stayed here with family for one night whilst travelling Switzerland. The hotel is in an excellent location. It is opposite the main train station and is on the door step of Geneva. The shops, attractions and old town are only a matter of minutes away on foot. The hotel rooms are on the smaller side (we had a triple room) but the rooms were very clean, smelt great (think they pump air freshener in) and were very light and modern. The staff were all very professional and helpful. We asked for recommendations for dinner and they spent a considerable amount of time helping us. The only downsides for the hotel were that the rooms were very warm and the aircon was deactivated as it was winter time, so we had to open the window to cool down and sleep at night. The additional downside to opening the window was the building next door appears to be having extensive building work and the buildings wrap flaps at night in then wind and is loud and the building work, which is very loud starts early, so sleep wasn’t the greatest. Overall, it was a nice hotel and in an excellent location, but until the building works next door have been completed, I wouldn’t stay here again.

Stayed here multiple times without any issues, but this time it took 8 hours and 3 requests to get Geneva bus card. Not sure if check-in staff were too busy, but request was finally honored the third time

The hotel itself is very nice and in a convenient location next to the train station. But there was a lot of noise from the street all night even though I was on the seventh floor. Looked like some homeless beggars gathered opposite and had loud music, dogs barking and people yelling all night.
