All in all a good stay
Pros:

Hotel is very well located for the train station and all local transportation. Many and varied restaurants in the area. Rooms are just fine, although a little dark, with a desk that is fine for a computer. Hotel staff is very good --- friendly, helpful and cooperative. Room window opens for fresh air. Very price competitive.

Don't forget to take Swiss adapters for the electric outlets.

All in all a good stay at a very handy hotel with all the expected services.

Fantastic Hotel
Pros:

Hotel Royal is very centrally located with easy access to all public transport routes, which made getting around Geneva incredibly straightforward. It’s only a short 5–10 minute walk from the main train station, which was ideal when arriving from the airport. The rooms are modern, clean and comfortable, making it a great base for both business and leisure stays. I’d happily stay here again.

Royal Hotel Experience
Pros:

I would like to thank the hotel team for their excellent assistance and professionalism. Although my original room was rebooked with a partner hotel, everything was handled smoothly and with great care. The alternative accommodation was very comfortable and had a beautiful view of Lake Geneva, which made the stay even more enjoyable.
I truly appreciated the helpful communication, the efficient arrangements, and the attention to making sure my stay was pleasant. Thank you for turning the situation into a very positive experience.

Not worth it.

Absolutely terrible room service. Called me an hour and a half after I ordered to tell me they were out of everything I ordered. . It was 6pm.

Great for a short stay
Pros:

Great location. The staff were incredible. Facilities were great. Minor drawbacks include the small room (but overly large bathroom, which wasn’t an issue!), renting an adapter will set you back a 50CHF deposit & the room didn’t have a main light, just a collection of lamps

Swiss & Swish
Pros:

Plus points:
Location is perfect for the train station, particularly if you want to explore further afield and have quick easy transport to the airport which is about 10 minutes away. It's also a short walk away from the lake, shopping areas and there is a bus / tram stop outside the hotel that will get you half way to old town if you don't fancy walking, but to be honest we liked using the lake ferry to get to old town.
There is a Lidl next door too should you need anything.
The hotel is very well presented; everything is clean and tidy and the staff are very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The atmosphere is relaxed and fairly sophisticated.
We had room 607. It is well decorated, the beds were very comfortable, lots of storage. Nice to have a few good sized mirrors. My husband liked the coffee machine. I liked the black out curtains.
This room does have the railway line right behind it, the latest I heard a train was 10.30pm but to be honest, I didn't mind the sound, but it's something to consider when booking if you want a quieter room.

Neutral points:
Hair dryer is one that you have to hold down button to use - this annoys me wherever I go but it is hotel choice and I could carry my own to avoid this.
The shower head is in a weird place, it's on the wall facing the bathroom door rather than on the end wall looking down the length of the bath. I had to half stand on the curve of the bath and face the shower screen to ensure I didn't flood the bathroom!
I am not a coffee drinker so would have liked more tea options in the room.
No USB sockets. With most gadgets nowadays you can charge by USB, would be nice to see more hotels in general have USB sockets, particularly next to the beds.

If we come to Geneva again we would 100% stay here again.

Perfect Location and Exceptional Hospitality
Pros:

Couldn't ask for a better location! Easy 3 minute walk from train station with luggage! Plenty of dining and shopping options within walking distance including Old Town, trams and buses. Our room was very clean as well as the lobby and lovely bar. What made our stay exceptional was the staff! Everyone was very pleasant and helpful - a 5+ Stars to Penelope and Inna who worked the front desk. From the moment we arrived these ladies were EXTREMELY helpful in ensuring all our needs were met including assisting us with planning our days. I can't say enough about their suggestions and knowledge when helping us plan our day trips! From where to go - best transportation to use (bus vs train) - to where to SHOP! We would 100% stay here again on our next trip to Geneva!

Over all fine.
Pros:

The location was wonderful, the hotel was too hot and you could not adjust the heat. The food was good the first night and not great the second. Breakfast was not great.
Close to the train station so it was easy to get to the airport.

Great Hotel and convenient.
Pros:

I am a loyal costumer for Hotel Royal for the last 18 years, every time I am in Geneva, if they have available occupancy, I stay with them. Great breakfast options, restaurant for dining and comfortable rooms. Not to mention super friendly staff. Above all, the most important to me, it is 5 minutes walk from the train station which is also 5 minutes train ride to the airport.

Pros:

Perfect location, easy to get about. Hotel was spotlessly clean and comfortable, staff very knowledgeable and helpful. Particularly Dimitris on reception area, nothing too much trouble. Also, the young person who looked after the bar and bistro area was very helpful

Great central hotel, with lots to offer
Pros:

Fab location c. 5 minutes from the train station and close to the bus station too. Shops and restaurants within short walking distance, along with some bars.
The hotel had a nice vibe, the staff were couteous and helpful, and the foyer was clean, tidy and welcoming.
The room was spacious, but the bathroom could have done with some tile grout cleaning. Decent toiletry amenities provided, with a hairdryer and safe. The pillows were not great for me and too bulky. I made do without. We didnt the the spa/sauna. Breakfast provided a good offering and takeaway coffee cups if needed. I would stay there again due to pleasant and helpful staff and the location. I didnt realise about the city tax but otherwise good value.
