Very comfortable hotel in an outstanding location. The small detraction is train and rider noise all night long, making it a little harder to keep the windows open. With warm weather, the AC can't maintain a good temperature, so you're left with a choice. Breakfast is nice, but no variation. Very helpful staff and clean rooms. I would stay here again.
Hotel antigo, quarto velho, sem tomadas perto das camas. Sistema ultrapassado de chaves, ar condicionado péssimo em todas as áreas do hotel (quarto, recepção e área do café da manhã). Café da manhã bom. Localização boa.
A funcionária Noemi é simplesmente uma doçura de pessoa e profissional maravilhosa e exemplar.

The only reason I gave this property two stars is because the staff was lovely.
This property is right next to the train station- incredibly loud. The mattress may be the thinnest mattress I’ve ever seen. The keys are huge - many people leave them at the front desk when they leave which is a bit creepy and seems like a great threat to privacy. Shower was difficult to work. About as bare bones as a hotel can get. Do not expect anything actually nice (except as I noted the lovely and helpful staff)

The breakfast was very good and restaurant was clean with a great view. Hotel Location is good for connections but it’s literally on top of the train station. Some minor noise heard from our room. No view. Room is roomy and bathroom was fine but tv screen is dinky. Felt like a dorm room.
The pros: The staff was very helpful and professional. For example, they quickly got us into our room after a very long day of travel. That gave us a chance to take a quick nap before going out into Geneva.
The cons: While the room was functional, it lacked a lot of little luxuries. Some examples: Multiple pillows on the bed. Body lotion for hand washing/showers. A 17” (?) TV screen that is across the room. Additionally, the random low bass sound of the trains passing by (which bothered my wife).
All things considered, the room was functional and allowed us to get some much needed sleep; however, a lot of tiny comforts were missing.
The hotel is very close to Genevas main train station. If you’re a light sleeper, request a room on the street side. The other side is close to the railway
Malgré mes fréquents séjours dans ce hôtel, cette fois, ma chambre n’était ni la plus agréable ni la plus spacieuse. Le lendemain, sans que j’en fasse la demande, l’un des responsables m’a proposé d’en changer pour une meilleure.. C’est ce genre d’attention qui fait que je reviendrai avec plaisir dans cet hôtel

Customer service was excellent and the breakfast had a great selection
Hotel is very convenient to public transportation. Just steps from main train station and several bus and tram stops. The hotel is older but clean and comfortable. We also had a fantastic view of the city.
