Great spot for an over-nighter in Geneva!
I stayed here with 2 others just for the night, and found it to be the best of the 3 hotels I've used in Geneva so far. Very ultra-modern (felt a bit like Star- Trek :) ), but I liked the uniqueness of it. All needs met, and the continental breakfast on the 8th floor was SUPERB! It was close to the Cornavin train station, but on a quiet street, unlike the last one I stayed at, close by. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone.

Great value for money
Great location and price. Rooms are especially clean and modern, maybe too modern for some people but it worked for me. Room is small and laid out Efficiently like a on a cruise ship. No breakfast, but lots of patisseries nearby to choose from. Especially fast Internet and it is free!

small but the right price
Clean, modern, and high tech, this hotel meets the basic needs of a traveller. The room and bathroom are tiny but creatively designed, reminiscent of a cruise ship layout. If the price is right this a reliable hotel.

Centrally located neat hotel
Designer rooms are small yet well arranged. TV panels could have been bigger. The only set back is no breakfast service.

Pretty Nice!!
It was very close to the train station - I bascially walked through the "metro shopping" area and it was there on the left corner as soon as I reached sunlight. EXCELLENT! Only about 15min walk down to Lake Geneva, where you can see Jet d'Eau in front of you. There are street signs everywhere that point you in the right direction of this hotel, which was great! The staff weren't as attentive as I had hoped and security in the main lobby was a little questionable - I left my suitcase in the "large baggage room" (which actually only had enough space for about 10 suitcases) but it didn't even lock and anyone could walk right in off the street, go in the room, and take it without the staff noticing. Other than that, the room was quaint and great for one student.
