Great Hotel in the Heart of Geneva
Pros:

We had a fantastic stay at Hôtel Les Armures, from our room to the service, staff, and food.
We loved our suite as it was very well designed with wood, well equipped, and very functional. The service and housekeeping were seamless and excellent.
The staff, especially at the reception, were very helpful and knowledgeable, recommending great walks around the city.
The breakfast was good, but the coffee was outstanding—one of the very best we had during our long trip. The lovely lady helping with breakfast was awesome and very welcoming.
The location is perfect, close to everything. Highly recommend!

The Best Hotel in Geneva in a Prime Location!!!
Pros:

How lucky were we???? Instead of booking one of the large grand hotels near or on the lake front, I had an intuition to go with this hotel in the center of the old town of Geneva. No one that I know had ever stayed here. It was a most splendid choice! Never have I been so pleased and pleasantly surprised with Hotel Les Armures. First of all the staff is top drawer! From the front desk, the waiters at the Michelin rated restaurant, the housekeeping staff, to the breakfast room staff are extraordinary! I must begin by saying that a very kind hearted front desk manager, Adama, went above and beyond last night to help my husband locate and find his IPad that he had inadvertently put down while walking last night around midnight. Yes! This was between 12 and 1am! Adama literally saved our trip! Many thanks to him! Many thanks to the cheerful front desk staff for answering all kinds of questions and making suggestions for us. The restaurant was fantastic! We had a lovely dinner there our first night. Reservations ahead are a must..as it is deservedly very popular with locals as well as tourists and hotel guests. We ordered what the waiter suggested and we were each thrilled with our choices. We both had a glass of the local Geneva Rosè and it was perfect! Our room was a delight! We opted for a large king in a corner room on the 3rd floor. It was definitely WOW! Our views were wonderful. Our bed and linens were beautiful and very comfortable. We had a dressing/closet are that had so much space. The bathroom is one that I would love to replicate at home! The colors scheme and materials were elegant and smart yet keeping with the historical atmosphere. While, here in Geneva, they were experiencing a terrible heat wave. Yet, the hotel and especially our room was cool and refreshing after being outside in the hot sun all day! Yay for AirConditioning!!! Be sure and opt for including the delicious and filling breakfast served in their nicely decorated breakfast room or in the comfort of your own room at no extra charge. The location cannot be any better! The magnificent cathedral is at most 1 block away. If I could give 10 stars in every category I would!

Raises the standard for all hotels in Geneva!
Pros:

Absolutely incredible boutique hotel. The rooms had renovated ceilings of antique art which offered them a breathtaking style. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, all spoke very good English. The breakfast was delicious, categorised into small portions in the buffet and à la carte. The Cathedral is right around the corner and the hotel is situated perfectly in the middle of the old town. Truly a magical experience, recommend to anyone looking for a special place in Geneva. We will be coming back!

If you’re in Geneva and you want the charm of the Old City, stay here
Pros:

The hotel was an amazing part of the old city. It was rather difficult to get to, because the directions to go and get through the retractable bollards in the old city are not on the Hilton website. They are on the hotels private website. We did end up having to drive around for about a half an hour and make a couple of calls to the hotel before we got directions that actually got us into the old city.
Once we got there, the accommodations were wonderful, the staff was polite and professional, and helpful, and the restaurant was fantastic. I would absolutely stay there again.

Beautiful Historic Hotel in a Fantastic Old Town Location
Pros:

Hôtel Les Armures was a wonderful place to stay in Geneva. Our room was excellent, with a very cool design that highlighted the age and character of the historic building while still offering modern amenities, comfort, and a high standard of cleanliness.

The location in the heart of the Old Town was also fantastic. It was an easy walk to the lake and convenient for getting around the city, though travelers should be prepared for some hills and stairs in the surrounding area.

The only downside was that on a few occasions, the towels had an odd odor, almost as if they had been handled by someone with a strong cheese smell on their hands. Aside from that, everything about the stay was very enjoyable.

Overall, this is a beautiful, character-filled hotel in an excellent location, and I would gladly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable stay in Geneva’s historic center.

Great location and a comfortable stay.
Pros:

The hotel is very comfortable and has a great location. The staff seem very happy to assist with requests. This is not an over the top style of hotel, but one that provides a quiet retreat from a busy day in Geneva.
