Categories

Cleanliness
7.5
Generally reported as very clean in many reviews, though a few guests mentioned a cleaning lapse and a comment that rooms could have been a bit cleaner.
Service
8.4
Staff repeatedly described as friendly, helpful and bilingual; accommodating (early check-in, responsive to issues) which supports a strong service score.
Location
9
Consistently praised as excellent — very close to the train station, central and convenient for restaurants and transport; location is the hotel's strongest point.
Room Quality
6.7
Rooms noted as modern, quiet and with comfortable beds, but several mentions of small bathrooms, tired furniture and at least one poor view/room-cleaning timing issue lower this score.
Amenities
8.2
Positive mentions of free coffee, free water, soda on tap in the foyer, air-conditioning and complimentary transport cards; limited parking and small elevator are minor drawbacks.
Value for Money
7.7
Mixed signals: some guests explicitly called it good value, others found it a bit expensive; overall slightly above average for value.
Food and Beverage
7.6
Breakfast described as good and varied (notably smoked salmon), although sometimes served in a nearby hotel — generally positive but not outstanding.
Overall Experience
8.1
Most guests report a positive stay (would return, romantic views, convenient for travel) with minor issues (noise, small facilities) that do not outweigh the positives.

Ubytování kousek od nádraží
Pros:

Hotel ihned u vlakového nádraží, k jezeru krátká procházka hlavní ulicí. Na hotelu v lobby fungoval automat na vodu a kávovar. Dali jsme si kávu i poté, co jsme již byli odhlášení a vrátili se pro batohy do baggage room - to bylo velmi příjemné. Karta k cestování zdarma po Ženevě v rámci ubytování je také super.

Cons:

Šílený výhled do špinavého vnitrobloku...

Pros:

Die Lage zwischen Bahnhof und See war für uns ganz praktisch

Cons:

Leider waren die Zimmer und vor allem Badezimmer ziemlich schmutzig und überhaupt nicht einladend.
Das ganze Check-in Prozedere als Gruppe war zudem äusserst kompliziert; erst mussten wir alle IDs/Reisepässe Nummern, Namen und Wohnort aller Teilnehmer per Email zuschicken (was bei 18 Personen ein erheblicher Aufwand war!) – angeblich damit das Check-in schneller verläuft. Bei Ankunft mussten wir trotzdem alle nochmals unsere Reisedokumente abgeben.....

Supernettes Personal und beste Lage in Genf
Pros:

Das Personal war superfreundlich und man fühlte sich sofort willkommen. Die Lage ist hervorragend, ganz nah am Bahnhof und konnte so ohne Probleme meinen sehr frühen Zug erwischen. In der Lobby gibt es kostenlosen Kaffee und Wasser. Die Zimmer allgemein sind sauber und ganz ok

Cons:

Das Design der Zimmer könnten mal ein Upgrade gebrauchen ;)

Correct pour 1 nuit mais pas plus ...
Pros:

L'hôtel est bien placé, proche de la gare, même si c'est loin d'être le meilleur quartier de Genève.
Le personnel a été très agréable lors du check in / check out

Pour le stationnement, il y a le parking Cornavin à proximité (Environ 25 Francs pour 24h)

Cons:

La chambre manquait vraiment de propreté (Odeur désagréable, poils dans la salle de bain, mur et plafond vétuste ...)
La chambre que nous avions donné à l'arrière sur une genre de cours qui s'apparentait plus à une décharge qu'autre chose

Petite Déception
Pros:

La proximité avec la gare et le lac. L’amabilité et la serviabilité du personnel.

Cons:

La chambre n’était pas parfaitement propre (sel sur la table de nuit, cheveux dans la salle de bain, joins de douche et lavabo noirs de moisissure par endroits), absence de rideaux, petit déjeuner servi dans un autre hôtel en face dans la rue. Ayant mon train tôt, je n’ai pas pu profiter du deuxième petit déjeuner que j’ai payé, aucune proposition de remboursement de celui-ci. Le personnel de l’hôtel était cependant adorable et aux petits soins mais pour moi j’ai trouvé le séjour bien trop cher par rapport à ce que j’ai vécu.
