With its convenient location in the city, guests can easily reach banks, commercial establishments not to mention the scenic lake nearby. The hotel also features a large pendulum hanging from the ninth floor and swings right at the ground floor of the property. Guests enjoy a panoramic view of Geneva while enjoying breakfast on site.

Hotel in walking distance from

Hotel in walking distance from main train station in Geneva (called Cornavin) and excellent view from breakfast room on topfloor. Small modern bath and average size bedrooms with modest furniture. Simple but ok. Don't expect luxury. Internet access (WLAN, charged at 20 CHF per week) is slow but cheaper than other hotels. Bus to airport and Conference Centre CICG and CCV stops in front of the hotel. I would stay there again.

Shopping tip: Short walk from hotel

There is a great deal of shopping within a few miles walk. Across the lake is the official "shopping district", which included some neat musicians. It was very cultural.

Very Convenient

The location of this hotel was perfect... Just across from the main rail station in Geneva. The service was good. I did not have an opportunity to check out the spa and exercise room. As hotels can be quite expensive in Switzerland, I found that the rate from Orbitz was excellent for a quality hotel in Geneva.

Sightseeing tip: Short walk from hotel

Take Bus number 8 just in front of the rail station to Veyriers-Douane, walk across the French border from the end of the line and take the cable cars up to the top of the alpine ridge for excellent views of Geneva and the mountains. There are also some beautiful hiking trails up there.

Great location

This hotel was easy to find and a great central location to tour the city. I walked a lot. The corner room was clean( room 207)and had an incredible view of the busy central station area. It was surprisingly quiet too. The breakfast on the 8th floor has the best view of the city. Dont miss it. I am sure you can find a cheaper hotel in the area, but for me, it was worth the money.

Awesome view, located next to everything

Got the best deal for a hotel in geneva and they put me up on the 8th floor. Floor to ceiling windows with awesome 180 views of Geneva. Ok, so the carpet was not the cleanest. The TV was small. But waking up with the snowcapped mountains next to my bed beats everything else I have seen in Geneva.

Comfortable room size but small

Comfortable room size but small cupboards. Basic furniture. Long desk is useful to work in the room. Tea/Coffee in the room. Modern bath room. Internet connection at 20 CHF per week is slow but working. Noteworthy view from breakfast room. Booked with hotelclub.com - no problem. It's not a bargain but much better than many other hotels in Geneva.

Location right next to bus stop

Location right next to bus stop #5 to CICG and Varambe Conference Centre and 2 steps from main train station in Geneva. 100 Euro per night would be a fair price for this hotel. Modern but very small fitness centre. Business centre with free printing and copying facility!

The hotel was ideally situated

The hotel was ideally situated for all forms of public transport. We were each given a ticket for the duration of our stay to use on all trains, buses, boats and trams. This proved very useful as we were able to see much of the city and beyond at no extra expense.

Great Location

This hotel is located on the corner next to the train station and the train ride to the airport is just 7 minutes away. The staff was very friendly and the hotel is clean and comfortable. This was a nice gesture and made communiting very easy. The hotel was not the best I ever stayed in but a good decent hotel. I would recommend it.
