Bon emplacement, joli hôtel.
Pros:

L’emplacement est vraiment bien. La salle du petit déjeuner avec la terrasse est super jolie. La déco est stylée et la chambre que nous avons eu été spacieuse. Accueil standard, efficace.

Cons:

C’est très bruyant dès qu’on ouvre la fenêtre. Nous devions avoir une chambre avec climatisation, mais nous avons eu un climatiseur extérieur donc nous avons dû dormir la fenêtre entrouverte, ce qui est laisse passer tout le bruit de la rue.
La chambre est très jolie et très confortable, mais moi qui ai l’habitude de ces journées dans les hôtels de ce standing, j’ai trouvé que ce n’était pas très commode entre parenthèses prise pas au bon endroit, pas assez de lumière dans la chambre…).

A decent one night stay.
Pros:

Helpful stuff, nice design and a good shower.

Cons:

Very small rooms with no luggage space and the mobile air conditioning requires leaving one window open, which lets in some outside noise.

Cons:

Room and bathroom had no shelves, be very careful check your reservation. Front desk staff told me breakfast was included but it was not, so quite pricy for 2 ppl (breakfast was good but not worth the 25 franc cost

Decent place
Pros:

Good location, friendly staff.

Cons:

Quite noisy, tram + relatively noisy street makes it leas comfy, if quiet night is your thing. Fwiw windows are good, cut off a lot of the noise, though was quite hot when visiting and could not keep them closed.

Darling and comfortable hotel with great restaurant/bar walking distance to train!
Pros:

This hotel is a converted house. As such, it is comfy with extra rooms for lounging, reading, sitting on balcony over river. The rooms are up to date and very comfortable. There is a popular restaurant and bar on the corner with a very friendly staff. We would absolutely stay here again!
