Old and small.
Pros:

This place was a shocker! Just old and dirty and the single bed was horrendous. Staff were busy and didn’t seem to care. Very small room and very basic for the cost. Wouldn’t stay again.

Localisation attrayante, mais hôtel un peu bricolé
Pros:

Hotel dangereux par certains aspects : plusieurs bâtiments, possibilité d'être enfermé entre 2 portes. les portes des chambres tiennent mal. Climatisation très insuffisante. La salle de bain est prévue sans porte

Pros:

Amazing location and beautiful views. Super close to lakewalk trails and great atmosphere. I love that there is a restaurant on the ground floor and the room had an awesome theme of Switzerland farmlands that was comfortable and clean. Customer Service was outstanding and everyone was beyond helpful and nice.

Pros:

Die Sauberkeit im Zimmer war sehr positiv, DasZimmer selber war klein, aber für ab eine Person ausreichend. Leider fehlte eine Sitzgelegenheit in so dassan auf dem Bett sitzen musste. Positiv war ,dass es Central gelegen war und man schnell am Bahnhof oder zum Schiffsanleger war.

Pros:

Classic hotel stay by Lake Geneva, easy walk from the train station. Very nice staff. Our room (a “suite” room #17) overlooked a town plaza and the lake. One thing to be aware of: the downstairs is a bar/restaurant, with music until midnight. And the town plaza is noisy with people, both at night and in the morning. Our room was on the 2nd floor, directly above the bar. I could hear the thump-thump of dance music as I lay in bed. On our 2nd night, at 11pm, I went downstairs and asked the manager to turn the music down (he was very nice about it and agreed to lower the volume; although he was surprised that I could hear the music. He said: “on the weekends, we have a DJ!” Overall, this hotel is a very nice experience and I would recommend it. Just be aware that you’re in a public area.

Pros:

The room was small - but cosy in a funny way. The hotel is also a restaurant, but there are plenty of restaurants in the area.

The location was the best part of my stay for one night.
The surroundings is just amazing - with breathtaking views if the Geneva Lake and the mountains.
There is a nice long boardwalk along the lake.

There is a huge public parking area just in front of the hotel, BUT NITICE that you have to pay for your parking, and it last for 3 hours each time. If you don't follow the rules - your car will be towed.
You can only pay by an app - but this does'nt work when you are frem Denmark ...

One of friendly staff members of the hotel was so kind to recommend that I parked in a nearby parking space (underground) which had a fair price of 20 euro for an overnight stay.
The place is called "Parking Vieille Ville (ex-panorama)"

Pros:

no problems but the manager was really kind friendly and apologetic but the room and the condition of the room and the hotel was not what one would expect for a hotel in a place like Switzerland let alone VEVey. it is tired, it needs painting and an overhaul and the room that I got was tiny, almost no light , dark. dingy and unappealing. I heard the rooms on the front of the house might be better but to be charging them rice for this room is daylight robbery

Zimmer 19 ist nicht sehr wohnlich
Pros:

Das Zimmer 19, welches als "Single Superieur" deklariert war, ist sehr klein und hat ein Fenster in Richtung einer unattraktiven Gasse. Deshalb lässt man die Fensterläden am besten gleich geschlossen. Im Zimmer hat es ein 1,5-Bett, einen runden halbhohen Tisch und einen Stuhl - that's it. Nicht sehr wohnlich. Lavabo sehr klein, WC und Dusche okay.

Pros:

Wir wurden freundlich empfangen das Frühstück war ausgewogen, das Nachtessen sehr gut.
In der Nacht wurde es auf dem grossen Platz laut und am Morgen war einiges los. Der Fadenvorhang welcher als Abgrenzung zum Zimmer dient ist unvorteilhaft, die Kissen für mich zu hoch und unbequem. Für einen Kurzaufenthalt jederzeit zu empfehlen.
