There were bed bugs in the bed and terrib service

Unfortunately, my experience at this hotel did not meet expectations. During my stay, I experienced multiple insect bites, which raised serious concerns about the overall cleanliness and hygiene of the accommodation. Additionally, after checking out, I urgently inquired about the availability of a restroom in the lobby area. I was initially told there wasn’t one available. However, when I returned to collect my luggage and presented my claim card, another staff member informed me that there was a restroom on the basement level accessible with a key card. This inconsistency in communication was frustrating and added to an already uncomfortable experience. Overall, the combination of hygiene concerns and unclear staff communication made my stay quite disappointing. I would not choose to stay here again.

Room was small but very clean, modern and adequate for a good stay. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom appeared to have been recently refurbished - very clean and an excellent shower. No safe or kettle in the room, but complimentary hot drinks were available in the reception area (although there was no milk). Staff were friendly and helpful. Well located - a short walk from the main train station, and also the lake. I would have no hesitation in returning here.

Great place to stay in Geneva though maybe not for kids. Otherwise it’s centrally located and the staff are wonderful and helpful. Feels a bit odd but not a problem. The rooms a great and the breakfast is very good.

Your average budget hotel. If you want fluffy towels & Nespresso machines, this is not the hotel for you. However, Location can’t be beat & staff is delightful! Reviews about red light district are true but never felt unsafe or scared! Great value!

Stayed here for one night to be close to the station. Hotel was clean and conveniently located, rooms were fine. Kevin at reception was super helpful and provided some great advice for the area. But We had an early train and the area didn’t feel the safest walking around.
