Classic hotel stay by Lake Geneva, easy walk from the train station. Very nice staff. Our room (a “suite” room #17) overlooked a town plaza and the lake. One thing to be aware of: the downstairs is a bar/restaurant, with music until midnight. And the town plaza is noisy with people, both at night and in the morning. Our room was on the 2nd floor, directly above the bar. I could hear the thump-thump of dance music as I lay in bed. On our 2nd night, at 11pm, I went downstairs and asked the manager to turn the music down (he was very nice about it and agreed to lower the volume; although he was surprised that I could hear the music. He said: “on the weekends, we have a DJ!” Overall, this hotel is a very nice experience and I would recommend it. Just be aware that you’re in a public area.

no problems but the manager was really kind friendly and apologetic but the room and the condition of the room and the hotel was not what one would expect for a hotel in a place like Switzerland let alone VEVey. it is tired, it needs painting and an overhaul and the room that I got was tiny, almost no light , dark. dingy and unappealing. I heard the rooms on the front of the house might be better but to be charging them rice for this room is daylight robbery

I like that it is within walking distance to the shops and the train station. However it can be quite noisy on the market day. The double bed seems like a single bed. No view at all except the adjacent building. Generally an old building.

Stay was pleasant , the staff where accommodating and the mattress was good, The one down point was the amount of noise that travels in from the street. I was in room 24 which faced on to a small , but relatively busy alley way. That being said the entire town is quiet after 11 so it was not much of a problem.

Die Sauberkeit im Zimmer war sehr positiv, DasZimmer selber war klein, aber für ab eine Person ausreichend. Leider fehlte eine Sitzgelegenheit in so dassan auf dem Bett sitzen musste. Positiv war ,dass es Central gelegen war und man schnell am Bahnhof oder zum Schiffsanleger war.

The room was small - but cosy in a funny way. The hotel is also a restaurant, but there are plenty of restaurants in the area. The location was the best part of my stay for one night. The surroundings is just amazing - with breathtaking views if the Geneva Lake and the mountains. There is a nice long boardwalk along the lake. There is a huge public parking area just in front of the hotel, BUT NITICE that you have to pay for your parking, and it last for 3 hours each time. If you don't follow the rules - your car will be towed. You can only pay by an app - but this does'nt work when you are frem Denmark ... One of friendly staff members of the hotel was so kind to recommend that I parked in a nearby parking space (underground) which had a fair price of 20 euro for an overnight stay. The place is called "Parking Vieille Ville (ex-panorama)"
