Our room was for 3 persons and it had 2 bathrooms which was nice. The sofa bed was not very comfortable. The hotel has a few steps to go up and the hotel lobby is on the 6th floor, accessible by a lift. The steps are inconvenient when carrying luggage.

We stayed in a bunk bed room without a toilet. It was perfectly nice and comfortable. Beware the bunk bed was quite squeaky with any movement, so just be aware of that. Otherwise, our stay and room were great.

This hotel was in a shopping complex, & I did have a few problems trying to find the entrance. I also had a few issues trying to connect my laptop with the WIFI. But in the end I managed to get access to the WIFI The staff were really helpful with the room being cleaned in the morning, but without the pressure to get out early

Location couldn't be better.

Generally pretty good! Location couldn't be better, and though the room was small, it was fine as a solo traveller, and the bed was very comfortable. It was also good value for central Geneva.- All big positives, and I'd be happy to return. It was helpful to receive the tourist travel card before getting there, so could be used to travel to the hotel from the airport. Thank you. A few minor details were not quite so positive: I arrived just after 18.00 when the main entrance is locked, so couldn't get in at first! Fortunately people came out shortly after I arrived, so let me in. I didn't like being woken up the first morning by insistant knocking on the door by staff wanting to service the room. (Reception gave me a 'do not disturb' sign for the other 2 nights, but I had to ask for that.) Anyone with mobility limitations should note that the shower is very tightly squeezed into the bathroom with a steep step into and out of it, and stepping out could be a slip hazard. These are minor details, and the positives definitely outweighed the negatives!

Great location and close to transport and centre with shopping. Supermarket 2min walk. Room very clean and bright but the shower and toilet very very small. Noise coming from street but to be expected as in centre (ear plugs in room) however ok when doors shut. Friendly staff.

The room was compact and basic with no frills. It was in a quiet area and in a great location to get about. The staff were lovely. Good value for Geneva.
