Hotel N'vY

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel, room fully outfitted with refrigerator and coffee marker, staff provided a kettle upon request, pretty well maintained (some stuff like the cabinet doors could have been maintained better). Staff super friendly and everyone spoke perfect English*. Hotel in a nice part of town and easy to walk to the bus station where all the tours left from (1km) *Note, it is not a requirement for staff to speak my language, but it is functionally easier for me since I do not speak French. Just a nice to have feature ;)"

Hotel Royal

8/10 Good

"Hotel Royal staff is fantastic, both helpful and friendly and is frankly the best part of the establishment. There are other good amenities: on-site valet parking, free public transport ticket provided by the front desk staff, ability to wash up after a day in the city if you are returning after your check out. The hotel bar was going through some sort of renovation this august, so that does not help the overall ambiance but is understandable. What I was not thrilled about: tiny rooms cooped up as they face the train lines, not the best part of town, a bit seedy for my taste, the neighborhood has lots of ethnic restaurants and such and as I came to see Geneva, I wanted to see Swiss Geneva. For those that are looking to be near a train station and walking distance to most things even the old town, a quick 10 min tram ride saves you time, and I consider it a convenient option."
