Very old hotel Staff need proper training, this is not hospitality. Very Expensive for the quality of service provided and the very old room. You can’t charge your electrical stuff like phones tablets etc unless you have Swiss type of plug when asked for adapter, given one that did not work, when taken to reception, they advised it is working no issue with it!!! When asked later for another one, i’ve been told all given to other customers! Receptionist then suggested i leave anything needs charging in reception if i want!! Not sure i’ve seen that even in the poorest of countries i visited. There is clear explanation by receptionist about anything, most question asked, answered vaguely. Staff feel this is a job to do get paid and go home. No proper training or proper customer service provided. Stayed twice in Geneva before in different hotels, much better service all around.

Excellent location, very friendly staff. Breakfast stay was good. Everthing is walkable from this hotel and the tram stop is right at the hotel too. The romms were a little small though and have to be careful with the bathtub a little too high. Toough to get in and out.

Good hotel close to railroad station and downtown.

We like this hotel. We were here last year and it is convenient to both the train station and the lake downtown area. The hotel is nice but could use a little updating. Otherwise, breakfast good, service very good. Nice folks.
