For a European hotel, this was a proper king size bed which was awesome for a great sleep before a long travel day. The restaurant attached to the hotel was amazing, and it’s literally right beside the train station & gave us free tickets to the subway to get to the airport which I didn’t even know was a benefit when I booked it. The bathroom was a bit small & I found I could hear all street noise & neighbour noise so that was my only slight downgrade from “excellent” to “good” but honestly it could’ve been that I just had a random bad sleep & I didn’t bother putting in ear plugs either. Overall a very good & convenient option!

Comfortable
Comfortable stay, great customer service. Definitely not a 4 star hotel - very disappointed with room and facilities, flashback to the 70’s Decor but a very comfortable bed. Probably would not stay again because it’s not worth the $.

the place is very close to places we want to go. that was the good part. the bad part we have to moved to a different room after our long tour of the city. We advised the desk before leaving for our tour to kindly have someone to check the cold water in the shower, but failed to do turn over that's why issues has not been resolve. We got transfer from 4th fl to 1st floor. which is hard after our long day tour. please provide hotel email to me as we end up checking out one day early. and will request for a credit. i asked for the reception staff on e-mail but hotel e-mail on card don't work. please advise

The hotel location is amazing, you don’t even need to cross a road from the central train station. It’s within 30 seconds walk from the platform! Hotel is a bit old but the condition is nice and well maintained. Fridge and water were provided

The property is in the heart of everything and right next to the train station that causes noise. The elevator is extremely small. Safe did not work in room and when asking for help, we got none. The front desk gave us maps, transportation transfers and restaurant suggestions.

This is a great location to get anywhere in the city and beyond. It is right next to the train station. We walked everywhere we needed to go. Shops and restaurants nearby. It is an older facility with stone walls that appear to have noise issues as I could hear the next door guest on the TV and on the phone. The staff was wonderful.

Definitely not a 4-star hotel! Very dated, not enough plug sockets in the room and the bathroom didn’t look particularly clean. However, great location and very friendly reception staff.

I loved it! It’s nothing fancy.. I just go to my hotel to sleep so it was perfect for me! Amazing location just next to the train station which meant restaurants were open till late. There’s luggage storage available so that was super helpful! I’ll definitely stay there again if I’m ever in Geneva!

The hotel is literally behind the station. Very convenient for travelling to & from Geneva. The noise of the train was better than I thought it would be. Worse in the day. No trains at night so very quiet. I didn't pay extra for breakfasts, so I cannot comment. Staff were very welcoming & helpful. The room was clean & spacious for a single bedroom room.

This hotel was really nice and so conveniently placed when coming in. It is the first building you see when you get out of the train station. However, you do have to walk a short while to get to the old town and the lake.

Such a great stay! Very affordable for Geneva and location can't be beat (it's right behind the train station). The reason however that I will be coming back are the staff. the front desk was the friendliest and nicest set of people to work with; they accommodated requests as they were able and I really felt taken care of (three different people and all were wonderful). Thanks so much!

I've stayed at this hotel many times, it as one of my favorites in Geneva. This time it was under renovation, so it did not live up to my expectation. However I hope that after the renovation it will be back to its former glory.

An aged formerly-grand railway hotel, now it is in a gritty section of town and it is quite run-down. We were surprised to find the restaurant and reception closed for ‘remodeling’, windows papered over, and a temporary reception desk perched in a hall. We were led around the corner to a service entrance to our room. The room had all the charm and cheer of mid-60’s, wallpaper peeling, a bathroom extremely unsuitable to mobility-limited people, and constant street noise all night. Moldy smelling halls. No breakfast available. Parking was a few marked spots in an insecure outdoor lot a block away. Maybe renovations will help, but this hotel has a very long way to go. The price should better reflect the many limitations and inconveniences. That said, it is very convenient to the rail station, but so are several better looking hotels.

For the price, this was a great location as I was traveling by myself and needed something close to the train station/bus station. And it was only 10 min walk to Lake Geneva. Front desk staff was awesome!

Good stay
The place was comfortable and in a great location, but the walls between rooms are thin and I could hear everything the guests next door were up to. The hot water in the shower was also temperamental and would need to run the shower for almost 10mins before getting consistent hot water.

Location is just next to train station and central. But it's a basic hotel and walls are really too thin. Even normal talking next door can be heard. Ceiling is peeling and looks mouldy.
