Pros:

Beds were comfortable and large family room very functional

Cons:

Breakfast was terrible value for money. Selection was pitiful. Coffee was awful. Reception told me they had no parking left and advised the mall lot in front. When I checked out 10 hours later the parking was 47 CHF!!!!! Location is too far for walking anywhere but useless if there is no parking.

If CERN made youth hostels, it would look like this!
Pros:

The hotel is a geekgasm of science-themed, youth-hostel vibe, perfect to get you in the mood of your visiting CERN. My two youngsters loved it!

Geneva is fantastic and, although the hotel is a bit out of the centre, the free travel card and exceptional transport system made getting around a breeze!

Cons:

Let’s be honest, this is function over form: the youth hostel vibe extends to hard floors, functional decor, university dorm-style rooms, communal kitchen etc. If that’s your thing, crack on!

Ein Tag in Genf
Pros:

Die Räume sind für 4 Personen zu groß und tief, wenig ausstattet und deswegen wirken die leer. Die Deckenhöhe ist über 4m. Lage ist zentral. In der Nähe liegen viele Läden, Bäcker und Restaurant. Im Hotel haben wir 24h kostenlose ÖPNV für Stadt bekommen. Damit sind wir schnell und bequem bis zu Innenstadt gefahren und teure Parkplätze gespart.

Cons:

Die Tiefgarage super gross und unübersichtlich. Erstmal muss man sich im Hotel einchecken und erst dann bekommen man ein Parkplatz zugewiesen. Unser Parkplatz war bereits besetzt so dass uns das Personal einen anderen zugeteilt hat. Am frühen Morgen kam Abschleppdienst da dieser nicht zum Hotel gehörte. Die verlangten von uns 350 CHF. Erstmal wollte das Hotel das wir bezahlen. Nur ein Zettel wo das Personal die Parkplatznummer händisch korrigiert hat, war einziger Beweis dass das Hotelpersonal Fehler gemacht hat. Wiir hatten knapp Glück gehabt die Staffe nicht zu bezahlen. Diese musste dann das Hotel übernehmen. Wäre interessant zu wissen wer den Abschleppdienst angerufen hat. Am Ende wurde alles gelöst
