Great place to stay in Geneva! Very friendly and helpfull staff (the asian girls especially), the Wi-Fi was working allright, the breakfast was nice and kept you alll day, the room was clean and had nice view to the train station. The location was great, the train and buss station just oposite the hotel, the banks and old city is just 10 minutes walk. They told me that they can keep my things after the check out so that i can see more of the beautyfull city of Geneva and i did. Very good value for money overall (this is a cheap hotel in the expensive city of Geneva). I would surelly recomend this hotel. the power suply in the room was old and couldn't charge my laptop. you could get and addaptor from the reception though giving a small money guaranty.

Room was lovely although I was very gflad we had a room towards the back of the hotel as some are very close to Reception and the Breakfast area and I think this would have been annoying for noise levels. The staff were very helpful and happy to speak English when my GCSE French was exhausted!Location is 100% the best thing about this hotel-it is literally in the middle of everything and only 5 min walk to the Lake. I did not dislike any part of our stay at this hotel but as stated above I would have been concerned at having a room near the Reception desk due to possible noise disturbance.

Good location, close to downtown and central railway station. Very good for short stay. There were not enough sockets in the room. To charge laptop and mobile phone we had to unplug lamps

The hotel is costly for what you get but Geneva is a very expensive city. The staff were very nice but did not seem to know a lot about the city. The rooms are small but clean and comfortable beds. The decor is old but serviceable. Breakfast is ok but nothing hot...cheeses, meats, fruit and buns etc.

Large clean room with working free wifi. I happened to carry the room key with me on one of the days and when returned to my room in the evening the receptionist called me only to tell that I should have not carried the key with me. I considered this action rather disturbing.

Reasonably priced in an otherwise very expensive city. Spacy room. Central location. Good sound isolation: not much noise from outside gets through, even in room on street- side. Good shutter / room darkening. Friendly, efficient personnel. WiFi access poor: cuts out all the time (but had room farthest from reception, so may be better in other rooms).

The room was really great, comfortable and well furnished. The 2 reception staff I encountered were not Swiss in appearance and exhibited the most inflexible and inhospitable set of attitudes I have experienced in about 15 hotels this trip. If a hotel is located next to a transport hub as in this case a main train station there needs to be an earlier provision for breakfast since many train services leave around 7am and of course one has paid for breakfast in the room rate.

This was a great find. The location is perfect, close to the main train station. The room was extremely clean and well-designed. There is space in the rooms and nice furniture. The staff are extremely pleasant, friendly, helpful, and multi-lingual. I would definitely return. This is my best experience in Geneva and at a great price. Recommended!

Central location, well decorated, top-class personal service, attention to detail. A good example of the superiority of small private hotels over big, anonymous corporate hotels. Good to have free wi-fi in a relatively cheap hotel. By Geneva standards the price from booking.com was good. However, I have assessed the hotel's value for money as only 'fair' because prices in Geneva are very high in general.

To me, this was clearly one of the cheapest hotels in Geneva available at a good location. Having stayed at this hotel in the past through a booking.com reservation, and having been aware that the rooms were all laid out on one floor with most around the reception desk and breakfast area, I requested a quiet room away from the breakfast area -- it disappointed me to be given a room only 2 meters away from the reception desk. I could hear speech from guests and staff around the reception desk all night. I woke up several times as a result of the poor soundproofing which disappointed me. Despite the relatively cheap price of this hotel for Geneva, I now have the firm impression that I could not rely on being able to get a good night's sleep -- and certainly any sleep after 7am when breakfast starts is out of the question!! I would not recommend this hotel nor stay there again. Poor.

The location was very near the station. The entrance was small and it may be difficult to find the hotel. The room was OK. I stayed at this hotel as one night transit. For this purpose, it is fine considering price and location.

Very good location, near the train station and the centre of geneva. It is worth its money, since geneva is a very expensive city in all sections. Friendly staff. Generally we were satisfied, it is ideal for an economic and convenient stay for wandering to the beautiful but expensive geneva. I think breakfast needs improvement.

Excellent location, in front of the train station and 5 minutes from the friend I came to visit. The area the hotel is situated in has a lot of restaurants and bars and the lake is less than 10 minutes away. The room was very clean. All the staff was nice and polite and it's not a problem if you don't speak French because they all speak good English. The breakfast buffet was quite small and at night the room was very hot at times.

Very close to the station, reasonably priced. And the quality of service was better than I thought. Breakfast can be improved.

They offer extremely reasonal price for Geneva accommodation. The room is clean, well organized and pretty comfortable. It is not a claim, but the wireless Internet is often out of range and doesn't work in the room.

Although at first I was worried it may be one of those hotels you go for "a few hours stay hotel" it proved to be great and clean. The area is a bit dodgy but the hotel is not. I liked the fact that the room was clean and the service was good and the breakfast ok. the area it is in

Location and the breakfast presentation was good. Staff was helpful. Bathrooms were clean and functional considering the size of the hotel. If any discomfort, the bed mattress bed was a bit hard on the back, especially for, I guess, people in their 50s. otherwise, the hotel is perfect for short city tour of geneva, and the location is very good.

The staff are the hotel's main assets, they are so friendly/professional and helpful. The hotel is wondefully located and the rooms are clean, bright and comfortable. I would certainly return to this great little hotel. They could vary the breakfast a bit and perhaps get new towels.

Hotel is excellent for people who just need to spend one night in between travelling. It is conveniently located colse to the train station with easy access to center/airport. Rooms are clean, service is good. In such an expensive city as Geneva, it is best value for money for people who do not have high requirements. Quality of wifi is very poor. It is hardly possible to browse web or send e-mails, not speaking about having Skype calls.
