Very simple but well-kept hotel, close to excellent transportation ( tram very close, bus a short block away, takes you directly to the train station and the airport ), with a 15 minute brisk walk to the old city ( cathedral etc. ). The reception people are very attentive and helpful. Breakfast offered in the room price is very simple... More

Hotel Calvy is in a not-too-central part of town, but there is a tram stop almost at the door. There are a few good restaurants in the area. The hotel is extremely clean, but there is not much to get dirty - it is very.........spartan. Spartan is the word. The bed was good, but I was in a smoking room... More

I stayed at the hotel for like a week and i must say my stay had been very pleasant. Staff are friendly and attentive, room is always tidy with super clean bathroom :) surprisingly, even there's no air conditioner in the room it didnt feel hot inside the room during summer with the overhead fan. Also, the room is well... More

When writting reviews I try to be honest & be in line with what you pay - don't expect 5 star service for 2 star money. We stayed here for 5 days & the staff were very helpfull & I know the hotel may need a spruce up but overall it was ok. Everything is on your door step -... More

Only positive thing is location, but you have several better hotels in the area for the same price; all the rest is horrible: the room, service, check-in area, safety, TV set is from the 19th century, lights did not work, no parking, no business ctr, no computer facilities ... and breakfast is a joke !

The Hotel Calvy is VERY conveniently located .. right on the tram track, quite close (less than 15 mins by tram) from the Cornavin Railway Station, quite close (less than 10 min walk) from High Street Fashion shops, the lake is just about 10 to 15 mins by walk, (though possibly NOT 500 metres as the hotel proclaims) .. less...

I was given an enormous room (3 beds) on the top floor and despite the vast hoards of people I saw as I arrived, I was never disturbed in the room at night - though the walls are thin and you will hear nearby doors opening and closing... The man at the desk was very friendly and helpful - and... More

We have booked this hotel last minute because there were no rooms available in Geneva at a reasonable price. Obviously Geneva is very expensive and this was the cheapest hotel we were able to find. We still paid 130 Swis Franks, while this htel was worth no more than 50-60 a night. The location was good and easy to get... More

Stayed in the quadruple room. Clean and spacious. Bathroom was clean as well. Did not feel confined. Great for a budget hotel. Close to the tram line, so easy access to the city centre and the tourist attractions. breakfast was simple but adequate. Certainly a worthwhile hotel. Can't mark them down anywhere More
