Tram stop right outside and they organised a free city tourist transport card without me even asking which made travelling around Geneva very easy.

Nice stay
Comfortable and easy to reach by public transportation, which links you easily with any part of the city Kitchennette well equipped and clean Nice room
The noise from the corridor comes into the room easily. However, no major issues as there were not many people.

Everything was great, I like the place. 30 min by foot to the city center, located near the tram station.
There was an electric kettle with some chemicals inside. I suppose they just forgot to rinse it after cleaning. It's one more reminder that you need to rinse cutlery and other stuff before usage

Great location, friendly staff, very clean.
Great location, friendly staff, very clean.
The room was a little warm ,and although there was air con , when it was on it was very noisy. The welcome email says that free tickets are available in the arrivals area for travel from the airport - this is no longer the case, so I think the wording needs updating. I did receive an email about the travel pass on the day I arrived but didn’t see it until after leaving the airport.

Great value for money.
The kitchen was very handy for us with a baby. The room is spacious enough to handle the luggage and a baby stroller. The location was nice, we walked downtown once and it was pleasant, but indeed I’d recommend getting the tram (which is free for tourists). The staff prepared us a baby crib free of charge and it was amazing! It was those portable ones but very comfortable and with clean linens :).
There is nothing I disliked.

Breakfast didn’t start early enough on the weekend

Pleasant.
the location was quite good because it is just located in front of a tram station. room was good but not worth the money, and booking on Booking would charge me 15 pounds more. Cleanness was excellent.
the quality of the breakfast was good but not worth the price for so limited choices.

It was a correct place to stay in the city of Geneve. Clean and comfortable, simple breakfast, but nothing spectacular.
Would not be comfortable for longer stays.

The hotel is clean, tidy and in a good location - about a 15-20 walk into the city centre or one of a number of buses
We were able to check in earlier than expected to a clean and suitably sized room. The hotel has a tram stop right outside which you’re able to use with your complimentary travel pass to all of the necessary locations.
We weren’t aware that Geneva used slightly different EU plugs to most places we’ve visited in Europe but this isn’t a fault of the hotel.

Great value for money
Good location (walking distance to old town and restaurants and coffee shops nearby) and tram stop just in front. Nice to have a little kitchenette to make meals. Staff were friendly. Great value for money!

Room was spacious & comfortable. Tram stop right outside the front door.
Aircon unit is portable & needs to be connected outside - a bit cumbersome. Room was not serviced during our 3 night stay.
