The location is great and the hotel is super clean. We didn't feel that it warrants 5 stars though nor with the exorbitant cost. The only usable outlets were not near the bed stands, the bar is in another building and the restaurant lighting is so bright it makes you sweat. There are no other amenities at all. The staff was great, but we had an odd issue with a staff member trying to enter our room when we were there after it was cleaned and before turndown service. When I asked about it the manager said he was going to vacuum which didn't make any sense. The next morning they offered us a complimentary breakfast but the cab they ordered for us to the airport was arriving in 5 minutes so it was an empty gesture. It would have been 5 star service if they offered us breakfast the night before when they tried to explain why some tried to enter our room.

We enjoyed a week long trip thru Switzerland with Geneva being the last leg so we booked two nights there thru Hilton. The location is superb if you don't want noise and cars - this hotel is located in the middle of old town. It's a little uphill coming from the river but honestly not bad and a very scenic walk anyways. First off - we found the staff amazing. Very helpful, polite and attentive. The room was astounding - a mixture of elegance, age and simplicity it any of that makes any sense. The breakfast in the morning was housed in a smaller room but we found it rather charming. While we're vegan (managed to get some decent food in) the eggs were individual servings in cast iron pots and the fresh fruit was similarly put in glass containers. This might have been for space saving/portion control but either way probably reduces waste. I would have given 5 stars aside from the that that the walk-in shower leaked from the bottom. It wasn't like a flood but the shower drain clearly wasn't working well enough and by the end of an average shower most of the bathroom floor would have standing water. We did notify the staff and they immediately brought us extra towels for cleanup. We were also given extra towels for the remaining next day's showers - very quick help with the issue so really want to shout out the staff's help. I have to imagine this issue with the shower didn't suddenly happen and really didn't expect it with such a boutqiue hotel I'd definitely recommend staying here just keep an eye out with the shower in room 101.

Amazing staff, hotel and location. If you want to experience the heart of Old Town in Geneve, staying at Les Armures is the right place to be. It's clean and comfortable. We had lots of questions and needs. The staff could not have been more joyful and accomodating. Their attached restaurant was delicous seeming to be the go to spot for folks. With both inside and outside dining, fondue and wine was great for lunch. Dinner was awesome. You might have a short wait with no reservation. The hotel is a 10-15 minute walk to the lake. Last and important for us, we were in Geneve during the heat wave. The air conditioning was working magnificantly during our stay. Everything was right about our selection of Les Armures. I would highly recommend.

perfect location in the Old Town! a modern renovation of an old building with the original ornate beams still in the library and our room. every amenity needed in the room with plush robes. one block from the Cathedral. the restaurant behind the hotel (same name) was excellent - on a Sunday it seemed like everyone in town was there! Great food. Truly a gem.

Outstanding! I have been visiting Geneva for over 40 years staying at the all the "chain" hotels. By far, this property is the best: location, amazing service, super comfortable bedding and extremely quiet. The restaurant was very flexible with my dietary restrictions which is not always the case in Europe.

Service wasn’t great and my room was on the small side despite an "upgrade". AC don't work well. Soundproofing was minimal. Front desk seemed nonchalant and indifferent most of the times especially a tall man. In room dinner and breakfast was mediocre. Location was fine. The lobby was small but cozy. Value for money however is low as it is quite pricey. They also responded negatively after I left my google review which was shocking

We stayed at Hotel Les Armures for 3 nights and had a superb experience from start to finish. The rooms were spacious, extremely clean, and beautifully designed with a lovely blend of historic charm and modern luxury. The hotel has the feel of a true small luxury property, with exceptional attention to detail throughout. The staff were warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful during our stay. The breakfast was outstanding — genuinely one of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve had at a hotel. The location is perfect, right in the heart of Geneva’s Old Town beside the cathedral, making it an ideal base for exploring the city. I would highly recommend staying here and already look forward to returning!
