This little residence was one of our great finds for budget travelers. The rooms were extremely clean and included a little kitchenette with refrigerator, microwave, gas top, coffee & tea making facilities as well as a quite large room with comfortable bed and good heating. Switzerland is on the whole not a budget destination in Europe and eating out is very expensive so having access to somewhere to cook is fantastic. The hotel is located one street back from the lake and a short walking distance from the old city. From Geneva airport you can get free tickets for public transport in Geneva. You can catch a train to the main station then a no 8, 5 or 10 tram to very close to the hotel. There are plenty of cafes and restaurants close by if you need to go out to eat. Staff here are also very helpful with information and ready to assist with all you ask of them.

Tip 1: book well in advance if visiting in high season
Tip: 2 don't forget pick up your free public transfer ticket before leaving the baggage pick up area at the airport.
Tip 3: ask your hotel to provide you with your free public transport ticket which is valid for the whole of your stay and means you can travel anywhere in the city and back to the airport for nothing.
Tip 4: if staying here save money by cooking yourself.

Was this information helpful. If so please let me know.

The staff at the reception desk hardly speak French or English. The room is cleaned only each three days. And the lift was broken when we left the hotel. The housekeeper helped us with our heavy laguagge, but only because she was very kind with our impossibility to take them down, from the 7th floor.

4 of us stayed here for 1 night, 2 twin bedrroms, situated on same floor. Some of the Staff dont seem to speak French, that was not a problem for us, but just an observation for any francofiles. Beds were comfy and can be folded up which would make for a large room, also twin beds are seperated with a small partition for those couples where 1 snores, this is a big bonus as it works !
Excellent value, especially as each room has an equipped kitchen with 4 ring gas cooker & microwave.
The location was excellent, close to the Lake and fountain and near the old town (both very short walks away). Staff were helpfull and allowed us to check out late in one of the 2 rooms, as we had a late flight, they looked after our luggage too in reception after we did check out at 3pm. Staff provided us free public transport tickets for 2 days, but note this is standard practice by all hotels in Geneva. Only downside (and this I stress did not bother us for the one night), was the decor was decrepid, such as cupboard doors falling off and lights not working. There are NO lake view rooms.

It was a nice hotel/residence with kitchen attached, cleanliness was ok, location wise manageable with a free travel pass to catch a bus or boat to city center. Most of the things near by such as an Indian restaurant, church, park, Geneva lake. Over all nice security system with excellent free WiFi. Staffs are cooperative but not sufficient in numbers.
