Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This is one of the many hotels surrounding the train station in Geneva. This one is modern and can be reached easily via an undergound passage to a pedestrian mall, something to consider if you have heavy bags. Very clean facility, comfortable but sparse rooms. Very good buffet breakfast. Efficient staff at the front desk. Walkable to the lake and area hotels and shops, even a walk across the bridge takes no more than 20 minutes. I would stay here again.

Hotel is near the Cornavin train station yet in a quiet location and close to restaurants in all directions. Hotel staff were helpful and rooms were clean. We were able safely leave some of our stuff for storage while we took extended side trips.

Excellent value for money, the staff at the front desk is extremely friendly and always ready to solve any problem. My first visit to Geneva (17 years ago) was to this hotel and from then until now it has improved a lot. It no longer resembles that old, dirty and dark hotel.

Basic but clean and tidy, everything you’d need for a short break, nice and quiet at night, Wi-Fi ok, tea and coffee in room. Reception staff very helpful. Great location to see the city, five mins from railway station to get back and too to the airport, lots of restaurants close by to choose from. Would stay again for a short break.
