The hotel is in a great location - right by the old town and the main shopping strip in Geneva. About a 20 minute walk from the main train station. It was realtively easy to find, check in was very simple and easy. We were given a map of Geneva also. However we were not given the Geneva travel cards... More

Situated in a perfect location, quiet and clean. Very friendly and helpful staff. Definitely a perfect value for money. Breakfast simple but nice - all you need in the morning! Also they kindly stored our luggage on the last day. Recommended! More

I had to come to Geneva from Australia to sort out some personal administrative matters and needed a suitably located hotel. Having researched the this one online (website, reviews, location in Geneva) I had a pretty good idea of what to expect. The fact that it was a family-run hotel was reassuring, plus having already had experience of two-star hotels... More

I can honestly say I do not understand the many positive reviews given to this hotel. After traveling and staying at many hotels throughout Europe, this hotel was the most expensive and my worst stay during my trip. I understand Geneva is expensive, but this hotel is WAY overpriced. Many people had a hard time finding this hotel, but my... More

Dear JustAnotherTraveler2 We were very disappointed to read your comments as they are quite rare. .The breakfast is a simple breakfast continental style as requested by most of our travellers and offered free of charge. There is a very good café next to the hotel where you could enjoy a full breakfast at around Sfr. 10.- per person. Thank you... More

We stayed at Hotel Geneva for one night after a few days in Switzerland. We chose the hotel as it was the only hotel we could find in the city centre that was a reasonable price. The hotel was well located in the city centre and there were lots of excellent cafes, restaurants and shops walking distance. The room was... More

Dear hlst Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. I am sorry that we were not able to pack your breakfast as the bread only arrives just after 06.30.

One of the more affordable hotels in Geneva. It's a simple hotel which included a light breakfast of tea or coffee, juice and croissants AND it was delivered to the room. It did the job for us when we stayed for 2 nights. The room was clean and the bathroom too. Size of room was ok for us as we... More

Very friendly due to the warmth of a family owned business. Ideally situated- surrounded by restaurants, bars and shops, with easy access to the tram and therefore the airport too. The wireless internet was accessible and fast which is important to me and the hot-chocolate served in the morning was the perfect wake up! Would happily return! More
