Incredibly Overpriced
This is a small, BUDGET hotel in an anonymous suburb of Geneva. It isn't a "business" or "leisure" hotel in any sense of the normal descriptives of the terms. Please don't think that the expensive room rate guarantees any kind of quality. This is not a charming little "boutique hotel". I could touch both walls at the same time in my tiny single room. The "wardrobe" was a few hooks on the wall. There were not enough electrical sockets to have the TV, cable and fan (no air conditioning here) on at the same time. I'm a tall guy, but my feet overhung the tiny bed by at least 12 inches. The skylight immediately above the bed had no curtain, so you wake with the dawn. The reception desk is never manned. No one ever answers calls to "Reception". If I were a backpacker paying $50 a night, I think that would be about right. But at the price they actually charge, it's a scandal. The only good things (I'm trying to be fair) are the very close location to the Palexpo expo centre and the nice, basic Italian restaurant that's owned by the same people. If you happen to need to be very close to the Palexpo and are willing to be hugely over-charged for the privilege and stay in a clean backpacker style hotel, this is for you. If you really are a backpacker, forget it as it's priced way above your budget.

Dining tip:
Short walk from hotel
Restaurant attached serves good, basic and reasonably priced Italian food. But it's certainly not worth staying here to get it.

Hôtel à éviter absolument
réception mal indiquée, accueil mon professionnel, le patron vous fais signe du doigt pour vous approchez, et vous prend de haut, réservation faite par mail aucune trace de celui-ci !!!!!! le personnel ne parle pas le français ou très très mal, la chambre pour une personne coûte 170.- et fait à peine 10 à 12M2, avec un lit de 90 cm de large, internet coûte 10.- par jour, la bouteille d'eau 8.- le petit déjeuner est lamentable pain sec, pas de croissants, 3 morceaux de fromage 2 tranches de jambon qui se courent après, il faut apeller 3 fois le serveur pour avoir du jus d'orange, le service n'est pas à la hauteur d'un 3 étoiles, après réception de la facture j'ai dû faire au 4 téléphone pour atteindre un responsable pour lui faire part de mon insatisfaction de mon séjour dans son hôtel, il m'as simplement répondu que si je n'étais pas comptant je n'avais qu'à aller voire ailleur..... je trouve que c'est une attitude intolérable de la part d'un hôtelier digne de se nom. pour vous en convaincre aller lire les différents commentaires de clients sur d'autres site c'est pas terrible non plus. Donc en résumer un hôtel à éviter ABSOLUMENT
