Spent two nights aboard Floatinn, largest boat Catamaran on Lake Geneva — a truly unique and peaceful stay. Waking up to the gentle sway of the boat and a fresh, beautifully prepared breakfast by Captain Jean-Luc, was unforgettable. The private four-course dinner hosted onboard was warm, personal, and delicious, making us feel more like cherished guests than travelers. A one-of-a-kind experience blending comfort, hospitality, and the charm of life on Lake Geneva. Highly recommended

Not as expected

Not as expected at all ☹️ We found the owner rather dour and only interested in selling us over priced wine and an extortionate breakfast. No atmosphere at all and wouldn't repeat the experience

parfait… sauf le bruit du compresseur d'eau.

Une belle nuit sur l'eau, sur ce bateau luxueux dont la terrasse est idéalement orientée face au jet d'eau. Accueil adorable, superbe petit déjeuner et tout était parfait, à l'exception du bruit intermittent qui - dans la chambre dans laquelle j'étais - a nuit à la qualité de mon sommeil. Renseignement pris, il s'avère que c'est le compresseur d'eau et que c'est la seule des 3 ou 4 chambres du bateau à avoir ce problème.

B&B an der besten Lage in Genf

Beautiful, Unique Experience

Jean-Luc is incredibly friendly and accommodating. I has the "luck" to somehow book my stay during the coldest weather in Geneva since 2012. Even so, I'll remember my stay at the FloatInn, which kept warm amidst the crazy wind. Very fair and gracious host, comfy bed, and we'll provisioned.

Great location ON the Lake

Was in Geneva on a business trip in the area of the hotel. Wanted to stay in a place in the neighborhood which wasn't too much of a walk to the office. This place was right on the lake (literally) and close to the fountain. It was a great place to stay with fantastic views. Being slightly away from the road and having no traffic it was very peaceful as well. I spent my first night chilling out on the top deck chatting with another guest. The 'hotel' itself is compact but very comfortable and is in very good condition and clean. Given it's location I would avoid if you have small children (i.e. pushchair).

Truly special hotel

Wonderful place to stay! Beautiful catamaran with spacious rooms (for a boat) and nice common area. However the biggest perk with this bed and breakfast is the owner, Jean-Luc. He caters for you in every way without being intrusive. The breakfast is plentiful with a lot of details that are home-made by the owner. The view over the bay is spectacular and the location is convenient for access to the town. Would definitely stay again!

Hôtel flottant au coeur de Genève

J'ai passé deux nuits dans un catamaran sympa tout près du Jet d'eau de Genève. Les chambres sont suffisamment spacieuses pour une ou deux personnes et le personnel est plutôt chalereux. Idéalement situé, pas trop cher étant donné le niveau de prix général à Genève. Et ceux qui veulent nager, rien de plus simple que de plonger dans le lac Léman. Je peux volontiers recommander Floatinn à tout le monde.

Exzellent!

Exzellent place in an exzellent location. The boat is impressive, the owner is incredibly nice and helpful, and the breakfast buffet beats many 4-star hotels (great selection of bread, swiss cheese, huge variety of home-made jams,...) Brilliant place to stay if you enjoy staying on a boat rather than in a standard hotel room.

Unique 'Bo(a)tel' Experience with Charming Hosts

We stayed recently at this hotel/B&B which is a catamaran boat docked on Lake Geneva. We were a little uncertain as to what to expect as we are business executives who were attending the Palexpo Conference Centre. However, we were very pleasantly surprised at the luxurious standard of the accomodation and the fantastic service. We were greeted by Jean-Luc, the boat owner, who was most helpful, carrying our luggage to the boat and showing us around - even offering a little aperatif to make us welcome. The view of Lake Geneva and the Jet D'Eau was just incredible, with a rainbow appearing on our last day! Having breakfast around the communal table overlooking the lake was just like being part of the family, and Jean-Luc grafted to bake his own fresh bread and jam (and even chocolate brownies) daily. There were plenty of local restaurants and buses to all parts of Geneva. A tiny word of caution is that the boat does not have all the amenities of a big hotel and, as is the case with most boats, there are certain compromises such as boat noises, care needed to board and particular attention to noise that may disturb other passengers. However, these small issues are much outweighed by the unique experience of being afloat on a peaceful location on Lake Geneva on such a beautiful luxury boat with extremely charming hosts. We will be definitely return to this Beautiful Boat & Breakfast/Bo(a)tel - a hidden gem!!! Esther, Deborah and Michael, CPL Business Consultants, UK
