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.

Our room was for 3 persons and it had 2 bathrooms which was nice. The sofa bed was not very comfortable. The hotel has a few steps to go up and the hotel lobby is on the 6th floor, accessible by a lift. The steps are inconvenient when carrying luggage.

We stayed in a bunk bed room without a toilet. It was perfectly nice and comfortable. Beware the bunk bed was quite squeaky with any movement, so just be aware of that. Otherwise, our stay and room were great.
