Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
No air conditioning in the room. The front desk person promised to fix the A/C or move us to another room, then nothing. We were able to get 2 fans to try and mitigate the heat. If not for security concerns I would have left the door open as the rest of the hotel was nice and cool. Open almost $1K for 2 nights for this!! Do yourself favor and stay elsewhere in GVA.

Great price, location a bit seedy.

Very well priced stay for Geneva. Lots of extras from Expedia thrown in: Free parking, travel pass etc, so made it a bargain. Lovely staff very helpful with reservations and advice. Underground parking available. The area the hotel is situated however, is a somewhat seedy. We felt perfectly safe, even coming back after midnight on a Saturday, however we did have to walk through the red light district, with multiple girls on the street and and very "ethnic" community. If ever visiting Geneva again, i would probably still stay here, just as its price is good and its all you need.

Excellent location near the train station. Less than one block from a bus stop. Free Geneva transport card was included and made it easy to use the public transportation system. Grab and go breakfast was six euros which included a croissant and a coffee.
