Gostei de tudo. Só é importante prestar atenção que a porta de entrada é só empurrar no horário comercial.

Good value if you don’t mind the restrictions
Pros:

This hotel is in a great position , walking distance to everything we wanted to see as well as close to the station Although it looks tired on the outside , our room was charming and comfortable, with a balcony and views over the Rhone
This was our second stay - and this time the reception was open till 10 pm , allowing access to the shared kitchen , and luggage storage possibilities which we valued greatly

Cons:

The value of the stay here is very much influenced by the opening hours of reception
These have been recently cut back severely , so that past reviews do not reflect these new curtailments of amenities
Now , after 4 pm there is no possibility to use the kitchen , leave luggage , or ask for a hairdryer, or ask questions of reception

Great location, historic feel, and value!
Pros:

We loved the historic feel, the location, & the value. The free transportation card provided electronically in advance, allowed us to take the train from the airport to Cornavin. We are senior citizens, yet we walked from the train station with 4 bags. The views from our balcony of the Rhône were lovely and romantic. Wonderful staff, especially Alexander! We had an evening arrival, so the good communication and codes provided made for an easy check-in. We were able to easily walk to all of the historic sites.

Cons:

If it is warm, be prepared to deal without air conditioning. There was a nice fan in the room which was adequate for our needs, and the room cooled off at night. Reception hours are limited to daytime, so plan accordingly if you have need of them.

Ich werde sicher wieder mal nach Genf kommen und behalte die Adresse im Kopf.
Pros:

Wunderschön die Aussicht.

Cons:

Nicht gefallen würde ich es nicht betiteln. Aber der bestellte Haartrockner hab ich nicht gefunden. Und der einzige angeklebte Haken, wo ein Handtuch hängen kann nebem Lavabo ist kaputt/abgebrochen🤷🏻‍♀️
Sonst alles I. O.

Çift kişilik oda nehre bakıyordu ama gece gürültülüymüş. İstasyona yakın olması üstün yanı.
Pros:

Tek kişilik oda rahatsızdı. Hava almıyordu. Tuvalet dışardaydı. Ama otel yine de güzeldi. Hemen önündeki nehirde yüzdüm. Su çok temiz ve berraktı.

Cons:

Odam nehiri baksın ve havası daha temiz olsun isterdim.
