Fantastic, as always.
It is conveniently located and has all of the amenities that you could want. It’s always clean and comfortable and the staff are accommodating and friendly.
We had to book an option with breakfast included and we believe that the options were quite limited for breakfast especially as my partner is vegan.

Very good
Good fitness center with new machines but poor air circulation in the room. I would suggest if possible to put an AC in that room.

Staff were very helpful, both before arrival in arranging transport card and in answering questions and making us welcome during our stay. Room was comfortable and had basic equipment to make a simple meal.
Air conditioning unit was struggling during hot weather, so hard to keep room comfortable temperature overnight.

Pleasant stay. Feel like home.
Great location with many restaurants and supermarkets around. Very convenient tram connection to the train station and airport. Hotel provided free tickets for all public transportations. Complete kitchen equipment. Very friendly and helpful employees.
The room was not cleaned everyday. Bathroom has a bit sewage smell.

Ok, budget option, but very noisy room.
Friendly and helpful staff, good connection with the trams which are in front of the hotel. The room was clean and covered all basic needs.
It was so noisy in our room we had trouble sleeping. The noise from the outside traffic and from inside the hotel was so loud. The room and the door were very poorly isolated, and you could hear everything. The breakfast was not too tasty or appealing, and the restaurant seemed understaffed with just one person managing a huge place at the crowded morning time.

Nice to find such a good budget hotel in Geneva
Location was great with tram stop outside. Trams were very frequent so easy to access the station, town etc. Room was comfortable and quiet. Staff on reception were very helpful, especially loaning us an adapter plug.

Lovely hotel in Geneve
The hotel is located just a few tram stops from the train station. The hotel sent us very clear instructions on how to get to our accommodation and we also got a free transport ticket (for the whole stay). Our room had an equipped kitchenette, a very comfortable bed and a nice bathroom. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We really loved it here.
The hotel is located just off the main road and there is a bit of noise at night. But we still had a great night's sleep. They only clean once every three days, but you can ask for cleaning if you need it.

Great location and proximity to tram stop. Very clean and very safe & secure.
Proximity to the tram station, cleanliness and security.
Reception staff asked me to return a plug adapter that I had not borrowed and was quite rude. I was told to go and buy one from a nearby shop.

A great hotel which was perfect for our one night in Geneva.
The spacious room had good facilities with the kitchen and a comfy bed. The location was really handy for the tram stop.
The air con unit was very noisy.

Very nice staff and room facilities!
The location is great! A tram station is right in front of the hotel. The room is a studio, I was in room No. 86. I am very happy with the facilities in the room including the kitchen, fridge and air conditioner. The bed is firm and feels perfect. Wifi is very fast and stable. If I come to Geneva again, I will definitely stay here again.
The AC is super loud. Room 86, when I stay in bed, I smell something bad like urine. I believe the bed sheets are clean, but the smell makes me wonder did the previous guest peed on the bed frame....Maybe the owner could look into it.

Great place, with direct access to trams that take you in a few minutes to the city center.
The breakfast was ok, some grater selection of meat cuts (chicken, turkey, fish) and more vegetables would be nice.
