Unique hotel in a great location to the train station and all we wanted to see/do The balcony overlooking the water was very nice. Free city transit card was a nice bonus and we used a lot. Although the room was small it had a lot of character .

Lovely old hotel right in the city centre with tram and bus stops right outside the front and a short walk to the train station. We had a beautiful view of the river from our room where we could also see the snow-topped mountains. The staff were very polite and helpful, storing our luggage for us on our last day. Geneva is a very expensive city to visit, so this hotel was a great bargain.

The hotel is excellently located. One step out of the door turn left and left again and wonderful photo opp if the Lake Geneva Fountain. Great restaurants within walking distance in all directions. Lots of international cuisine on offer. Physically, the hotel is a bit tired but clean and the staff were very welcoming.
