I have stayed in this hotel many many times since 2008 and have seen the remarkable improvement in the facilities. The owners and staff are wonderful - friendly, polite and helpful. It has wifi connection for the last few years and the speed is good. The rooms are neat and clean. The breakfast is basic. The hotel is in a... More

Polite staff; good central location near the university and the old city. A 20-minute walk to the principal museums and the cathedral of the city, this hotel may suit the budget conscious. Breakfast is fine, but rooms cramped and antiseptic. In-room toilet more resembles a porta-potty than a real bathroom. No charm, but not pretentious. It is what it is!

A colleague and I stayed here while attending a conference at the University. We were warned that it was very cheap by Geneva standards (118SF a night) and so would probably be a flea pit, but have been wonderfully surprised! It's clean and neat, the staff are welcoming and friendly, and breakfast is fresh and plentiful. We arrived after long... More
