My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were amazing, overlooking the river with a balcony, but lacking air conditioning. The service was kind and helpful, with a few minor hiccups. The location was excellent for exploring Geneva, though the road was hard to find at first. The dining experience left much to be desired, but the freshly caught fish was a redeeming factor.

The hotel was quite comfortable, bright & sunny with a view over the river & to the distant mountains. However, needed renovation of cupboard and storage space and was noisy due to being over a main road. Breakfast offerings included croissants, bread rolls, jams, sliced meat and cheese, cereals, juice, tea, and coffee.

The location is excellent, overlooking the Rhone River and the city, ideal for those seeking beautiful views. The dining experience, although basic and somewhat repetitive after an extended stay, was complete. Overall, a comfortable stay with minor dining limitations.

Wow, I had such a mixed experience at this hotel! The rooms are nice, modern, and clean with a balcony where you can sit and enjoy a lovely river view, but they also feel a bit old and outdated. The service, on the other hand, was extremely friendly and helpful, making my stay very pleasant. The location is very convenient, close to both the train station and the old town, but there's only one direction to walk, so it's a bit limited. The dining options were simple and good value for what was offered, though it ended a bit early for late arrivals. Overall, it's a bit of a toss-up between the positives and negatives of this place.

I had a cozy stay with a great view of the river. The room was small and a bit outdated, but given the price, I couldn't complain. It was strange being located at the back of reception, yet spacious with a lovely bay window area overlooking the river.
