Quick overnight

Quick overnight before a flight back to the US. We came after check in but our room wasn’t ready which was frustrating. Came back after dinner and got in. The bathroom knobs on the shower were backwards and a little tough to shower without getting water on the floor. Otherwise comfortable beds - they made up a bed for my son and we slept well. Nice fan with cold steam. Breakfast was pretty good and did the job. Available at 7 am for our early departure. Fast walk to the train.

John, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great price, location a bit seedy.

Very well priced stay for Geneva. Lots of extras from Expedia thrown in: Free parking, travel pass etc, so made it a bargain. Lovely staff very helpful with reservations and advice. Underground parking available. The area the hotel is situated however, is a somewhat seedy. We felt perfectly safe, even coming back after midnight on a Saturday, however we did have to walk through the red light district, with multiple girls on the street and and very "ethnic" community. If ever visiting Geneva again, i would probably still stay here, just as its price is good and its all you need.
steve, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent location near the train station. Less than one block from a bus stop. Free Geneva transport card was included and made it easy to use the public transportation system. Grab and go breakfast was six euros which included a croissant and a coffee.

Great location, close to the train station. Very comfortable beds, crisp fresh sheets and fluffy pillows!
