    It was expensive for what it was. BUT! Flip side, probably not expensive for Geneva. Geneva is just outrageous when it comes to prices and the Calvy obviously has to exist where it exists!

    Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good - coffee was excellent - location was pleasant. Room size was amazing for a family of five. The air con unit made the top floor position tolerable but not comfortable (not quite powerful enough/very noisy). Not complaining about this! It was hot and it was the best it could be. But just commenting for people who would find the noise a problem.

    My bed broke in the night so I had to fix it. There could be a better breakfast for the visitors.

    The room was nice and big. The owner of place is really nice! I liked the way that he tried to help us with everything. Not everyone was like him.

    It took an age to check in to the hotel, which was very annoying. Geneva offers free travel card for the duration of one's stay. They should have sent an email with the QR code for the pass. They did not. The hotel knew nothing about it and when I insisted they had to call someone to receive an email which offered free travel pass for only one day. Not good enough.

    a friend had stayed before so I knew what to expect. The location was excellent, the breakfast was adequate - continental.

    The 5p room is a bit too hot, works for me but didn't work for my partner, but it has ceiling fan and also a couple of portable ones. The room is outdated, in need of some basic renovation and small deco care.

    The hotel is well located, the room is spacious and was clean (5p room), the staff is helpful and accomodating. We were given a city card and a map, and could go around with trams, busses and little boats. A very basic breakfast was included (bread, butter and nice croissants).

    One night the people next door were very loud. I tried to sleep through it but finally at 3 a.m. I went downstairs and talked to the night person who called the people and the noise stopped immediately. Two of the four twin beds were hard and uncomfortable.

    The staff were very friendly. The room was large. It was convenient to buses, breakfast was good.

    The property smelt very strongly of cigarettes in numerous locations despite being a non-smoking hotel. On the first morning, we went down at 9 for a 7-10 breakfast and there was very little left. The staff did not interact with us on this morning despite my acknowledging them as we entered. It was not a comparable experience to the rest of the stay.

    The property was very well situated. Room was spacious and comfortable. There was ample heating. Our second breakfast experience was good, and a considerable improvement on the first morning.

    Little fresh air Int he attic room, which got heated during the day and it was not easy to sleep.

    The hotel was good price-quality choice. The best things about it were staff (very friendly and helpful), the location (10 walk minutes away to the lake and city centre, shops, cafes near the hotel) and the cleanness. Special thank you to the young man at the reception who let us do late check out which was perfect with the baby who could have an extra day nap before the travel. The room was basic, corresponding to the 3 star hotel, the only difficulty we had with the family room was that it was in the attic, and got so much heated during the day, that even with the cooler in the room it was hard to sleep, we lacked air in the room. The rest was good, the breakfast was basic, but had all we needed for the early time of the day as we don’t eat much at that time usually anyways.
