Geneva was amazing the hotel was not value for money and very underwhelming.
Pros:

The location of the hotel was ok but there was no hotel frontage/ lobby. Guests have to go into a multi use lobby housing other businesses and use only one lift along with other users. Hotel is on one floor. Unfortunately there is a lot of homeless people hanging around outside the main entrance which we had to walk past several times a day.

Cons:

The breakfast was pitiful and can hardly be called breakfast, when we checked in we were advised that breakfast the following morning was not going to be served as there were going to be less than 10 guests staying there. Our room was dated, the bathroom dated and not particularly clean looking. We were given towels with a hole in it and another one was fraying all around the edges. The heating in our room was insufficient to keep the room warm. One small radiator located next to the window behind curtains. We asked for help at reception and were told that the heating was not working properly. There was no tea/coffee making facilities in the room. We did ask and were given a kettle.

Bien situé et personnel accueillant, mais propreté insuffisante, rapport qualité-prix décevant
Pros:

L'emplacement de l'hôtel est excellent, juste à côté de la gare de Genève, avec transports accessibles à pied. Le personnel est également très accueillant, serviable.

Cons:

La propreté de la chambre était malheureusement insuffisante : la literie, les rideaux et plusieurs équipements étaient sales, avec de la poussière et des taches visibles. Les lits étaient très inconfortables. De plus, l'isolation est inexistante, nous avons subi du bruit continu de la chambre voisine de 22h à 7h du matin, ce qui nous a empêchés de dormir. Une odeur de cigarette est également entrée dans la chambre toute la nuit. Au vu de ces problèmes, le rapport qualité-prix ne nous a pas semblé satisfaisant.

Perfecto para una escapada!
Pros:

El trato del personal, la comodidad de las habitaciones, la limpieza,el desayuno, la ubicación.

Cons:

Las ventanas no son herméticas, son antiguas, de madera, y si había ruido en la calle, por la noche, era molesto.

Pros:

It's perfect. Exactly in front of the Gare, with family and luggage, it is comfortable to reach the hotel. The room was perfect, and we as a family are satisfied.

Werde ich weiter empfehlen...
Pros:

Die Bahnhofnähe war perfekt, für 1-3 Nächte, sonst zu laut (im Sommer zBsp). Das Zimmer, gross genug für die Zeit und sauber...

Cons:

Die Unaufmerksamkeit einer Mitarbeiterin, als mir das Glas zwischen den Finger auf den Tisch fiel und Sie nichts unternahm. Die Scherben und OSaft wischte ich, irgendwie zusammen, damit ich weiter Frühstücken konnte...Naja...

A convenient, welcoming hotel with helpful staff and an excellent location near the railway station.
Pros:

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is in an excellent location, only about 100 metres from the railway station. We also appreciated receiving the Geneva Transport Card free of charge, which was a thoughtful extra.

Cons:

Nothing significant to mention. We had a pleasant stay.
