The hotel itself is very nice and in a convenient location next to the train station. But there was a lot of noise from the street all night even though I was on the seventh floor. Looked like some homeless beggars gathered opposite and had loud music, dogs barking and people yelling all night.

Central location close to station and centre of town. Easy walk down to old town. Limited facilities and services in hotel. Breakfast not included and very expensive even by Geneva standards.

Good Stay

I had read the reviews about this hotel and was apprehensive about staying here due to the location near the red light district. Got into Geneva by train and saw this hotel straight away. As I was traveling through Europe by train the location was a priority for me so I bit the bullet and gave it a shot - was not disappointed. Ammenites were simple but clean - yes the hotel is near the red light district - but if this is an issue can be easily avoided by which direction you trn out of the hotel. Would stay here again due to location.
