Ideal for station which is 5min walk,around a 15 min walk to lake Geneva so perfect for our stay. Room like many across Europe, but had everything that was needed including a very comfy bed. Breakfast had plenty of choice to set you up for the day. Plenty of dining options in the surrounding streets.

We enjoyed the room, it was clean and we appreciated that the queen bed was ACTUALLY a queen bed and not two put together. What we did not appreciate is that they advertised that they have AC, and it is barely that. It never got cold in our room. I asked for a fan on the first day, out of 3 days, and they acted line they didn’t know what a fan was. I asked again on the day before we left and they sweet front desk girl said, yes, and brought it strait to my room. That would’ve been so helpful since the first day. It was hot and very uncomfortable. The mini bar is also not something you can keep anything cold in. I had medicine that needed to be refrigerated, and the “fridge” is not cold. These are two things I always look for when booking. However, I would recommend this hotel, if you don’t need AC. They were very nice and the location was walkable to everything including the train station.

A good value choice
A comfortable hotel in a decent location. A little bit of a walk to the lake and Old Town. Private parking (non height restricted availability on request). Good breakfast and some nice restaurants nearby. Tram stop less than 5 mins walk.
