I stayed at this hotel in May 2013 for a trade show. The hotel is in a fantastic location very close to the lake. The staff are very helpful and there is a good quality breakfast. The unusual bits are I had a room with 3 single beds I dont know who this would appeal to. Also the TV was... More

Within walking distance of the main Station, the welcome here was warm and efficient and the room reasonably spacious. An Ibis-style shower / toilet module had landed in the corner, with a warning not to open the door too fast after a shower to avoid setting off the smoke alarm. There was commendably little noise from other rooms. The breakfast... More

Although this hotel is in a great location, it's more of a youth hostel than a hotel. Tiny little rooms with beds my mother threw out 45 years ago. The bathroom is about the size of an airplane washroom and you can't even turn sideways in the shower. If it were a cheap price hotel, it would meet expectations but... More

We stayed for three nights recently in this small hotel. We booked a triple room which was small, but comfortable. The bathrooms do remind you of cruise ships, but we found that to be true throughout Europe on our budget. There is no AC which could be a problem if it's hot because the street outside was very busy and... More

Hotel de Geneve is a short walk away from the main train station. It is a small boutique hotel and the rooms are a bit small. But I found it to be adequate and enjoyed the view from my window overlooking the street. The staff are friendly and helpful. A continental breakfast is included with the room rate and so... More

The hotel is placed quite conveniently, a short walk from the train station and very near the lake and the main bridge. The staff were friendly and helpful and breakfast was good and plentiful.The decor needs an updated or at least some 'freshening' of the many home made decorations. a bit dusty and faded. The bed was fine for a... More

I stayed there for business purposes. It is well located, close to a tram which will take you to the UN headquaters. It is not far from the train station - you can easily walk. The hotel has a lovely breakfast area. No internet is available in the room and there is only one computer to share in the small... More

This hotel was just a couple of minutes walk away from the main train station as well as the old town, so it is a great location! We stayed in room 104, and the room was a bit tight by American standards, but was perfectly adequate. The bed was acceptable, but not great. The pillows were awful. The bathroom was... More
