Great location, Great service. Would return!
We stayed here for a 2 night break to Geneva for the Christmas markets. It was a fantastic location on the edge of the old town, and a street back from the main shopping thoroughfair so quiet most of the time. Excellent location for both the old town and the Christmas markets at the other side of the river (approx 15 min walk). Room itself was spacious and comfortable if in need of a little tlc (e.g. few patches of peeling paintwork on ceiling - but nothing affecting our stay) We were unlucky on the second night to be kept awake by guests in the room above who seemed to be moving furniture around at 1am, 3am and 5am (wooden flooring very noisy). Staff were all very helpful and welcoming and I would definitely stay here again.

Horrible place
Open door to see a toilet. Shower is at least a 12 inch step up-very dangerous. Tap in sink and shower not installed properly. Shower has mold. Tiny little bugs everywhere. Asked for quiet room and told there were earplugs in the room. Only good thing was location.

Nice location and staff, small place
The staff is very friendly and helpful, the location is very convenient, the place is clean.
The only problem is comfort: very small place, the WC is in a separate room by itself (no hand wash), one needs to keep the door open to use it and close a separate hallway door to the main room for privacy.

An excellent location at a good price. The rooms were smaller and the walls thin for noise. But was perfect for what we needed which was a spot to sleep in centre city.

It was good, better than expected (from the reviews).
It wasn't very quiet all the time as walls are not sound proof but could sleep without any problem.
Staff was great and kind.

A very nice basic hotel. The staff is super helpful and you are right at old town and major shopping. A little loud with construction starting at 8 a.m. but pleasant otherwise. The bathroom is a bit tight but the value makes it ok.

A very unique compact double walking straight into the bathroom before the bedroom to maximise space
Disappointing no tea or coffee in room
Understand no air con as old building so had doors to Juliet balcony open but was very noisy as works happening right outside
Reception friendly, helpful with city pass and map and spoke English we appreciated
Found I had a lot of messages prior to and on the day to ask about arrival time after replying each time I found this a lot as was a busy work trip and this was a stopover to experience Geneva before coming home
Great central location I would stay again but hope the points can be taken

Highly recommend.
This place was great. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The room was clean and tidy. Keep in mind, that it is a very old building in a historic area. Some modern comforts/conveniences, like central air conditioning and a large bathroom, are, rightly, not present.

The customer service here was the best. It’s a little bit of a walk to anything but especially to any good food options. No view to speak of from our room but just a couple blocks to the lake. Beds were clean, comfortable and the air conditioning worked!
