Excellent stay in Geneva – highly recommend! We stayed here for two nights and couldn’t be happier with our choice. Great value for money, especially considering how expensive hotels in Switzerland tend to be (we’ve stayed in pricier hotels here that offered far less.) The location was excellent, and the room and bathroom were spotlessly clean throughout our stay. What really stood out was the check-in experience. The staff member who welcomed us was outstanding — genuinely one of the best receptions we’ve had at any hotel. They took the time to explain everything we needed to know about transport, internet, and local spots in the city, and gave us a map along with a thorough, helpful orientation. One small note: if you’re coming from a quieter area and aren’t used to city traffic noise, you might find it a bit noisy during the day, since the hotel is close to the street. It didn’t bother us, but it’s worth mentioning. Overall, this was one of the best decisions we made on our trip. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Geneva.

The hotel is conveniently located close to public transport and just a short distance from Cornavin, Geneva’s main transportation hub. It is surrounded by a variety of excellent restaurants, making it an ideal base for visitors. The hotel staff were exceptionally friendly and provided valuable local insights and authentic recommendations for exploring Switzerland. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-located place to stay.

This hotel is centrally located at the edge of the old town and in walking distance of the main station. There is, however, no way to arrive by car and unload your luggage. The room is basic and you can hear every step and word from above, below and next to you. The windows are good so that there is not much noise coming in from traffic. Unfortunately, the price is about 100% higher than what would be reasonable, which is why I had to remove two stars. Staff is friendly and helpful

Very friendly receptionist, clean and sweet rooms. We really liked the environment, great breakfast. We arrived at the last moment (because our check in failed at another hotel) and the booking worked in 2 minutes, the check in perfectly smooth. 💜💜💜 Best hotel in Genève is the Hotel Genève! Oh and our little dog was warmly welcomed as well! 💕

Superb reception staff - especially AB and Vladimir. Very well looked after and breakfast a steal at 5CHF. Yes the hotel is old and like many such properties does not have air-conditioning but more than compensated by good WIFI and excellent location

It’s a cozy place. Very small room for the price. There wasn’t no kettle in the rooms. It is very central to the key places in Geneva. However, it can be much better. I was disappointed with the room especially with the price. Constatine was really nice though.

Very clean and convenient. Also very quiet, protecting from the loud traffic. They also offer breakfast, costing a very nice 5 for a big cup of coffee or juice, and sometimes hot chocolate, along with a croissant. It is also very close to many attractions, such as the water jet and chocolate shops.

We enjoyed our stay. The room was a little more dated than I expected. However the staff who checked us in was lovely. Breakfast was good value at 5 euro. I do miss having a kettle in the room but there was one available at reception.
