"A nice hotel in the centre of Geneva. It is right on the edge of the Old City, so a short walk up the hill gets you to many interesting restaurants. In the other direction it is a five minute walk to the promenade on the lake."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars – Pleasantly Surprised!
I was honestly blown away by how incredible this hotel was—especially for the price! The room was absolutely gorgeous: spacious, tastefully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. The bathroom was spotless, with fantastic water pressure in the shower that made it feel like a luxury spa.
The bath towels were impressively large and plush—such a nice touch you don’t always get, even at more expensive places. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, and their warm, accommodating attitude really stood out.
Overall, I was pleasantly surprised at how much value we got for such an affordable rate. I’d absolutely stay here again and recommend it without hesitation!"
"Very nice clean rooms, perfect for what I needed for a short stay in Geneva for the football. Friendly staff and very good transport options. Right opposite the train station and a short walk to Lake Geneva. I would definitely stay here again."
"Traditional and clearly was built long ago. However outstanding location 100 metres from the central station Gare Cornavin, and a few blocks from Lac Léman. Room was large and comfortable and very clean. No air-conditioning which is only an issue mid summer, effective fans are provided. We will definitely stay there again. "
