My stay at the hotel was filled with ups and downs. The location was exceptional, right on the side of the lake with stunning views, but the dining options were a bit limited. The service was superb with multilingual staff, yet the rooms were quite chilly and needed better exercise equipment. Overall, it was a mixed experience.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with minimalist but quality furnishings and a lovely view of Geneva. The service was friendly and helpful, although I had a small issue with the baggage ticket. The location is fantastic, just beside the Cornavin train station and within easy reach of Geneva's main attractions. The dining experience had a great panoramic view but lacked variety. Overall, a good value for the price.

I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious and relatively affordable rooms in Geneva. However, there was a noticeable strong man-made cosmetic odor in the room until early morning, and my view faced across the railway tracks.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and had good views, though there was a slight smell of smoke in the non-smoking room. The service was mixed with helpful receptionists but not the friendliest overall. The location was convenient, right across from the train station but may feel a bit unsafe. The dining experience was basic with a nice view. Overall, a decent value for the money.

The hotel is ideally located just across the street from the main train station, making it convenient for travelers coming or going from the airport and exploring the city center. The rooms offer a panorama view but seem a bit overpriced considering the decor and quality. The breakfast on the 8th floor is exceptional with a wide variety of options lasting until late morning.

The hotel offers clean and spacious rooms with lovely floor-to-ceiling windows at an affordable price compared to other options online. While the rooms are furnished with quality materials, they have a minimalist and somewhat spartan design, lacking in decor elements like pictures on the walls, plus minimal pillows, cushions, and an outdated TV from about 15 years ago.

The hotel has a prime location, conveniently accessible to public transport and close to Geneva's main attractions. The rooms are simple and clean with quality materials but lack some homely touches. The service is friendly but falls slightly short of 4-star standards. The dining options are average for the price, and the location is both excellent and noisy due to thin walls. However, the overall value for money is great.
