The gentleman at reception is gruff and needs to be more friendly and understanding with his weary guests as he seemed more interested in his phone. The hotel itself is simple and the decor deliberately so, with ex army cupboards etc in our room while the restaurant is dismally decorated. Breakfast is basic.

I really liked the hotel, especially because of the kindness and elegance of the staff. The breakfast is good and served in a cozy atmosphere. The room is spacious and has everything a guest needs: a comfortable bed, plenty of storage, and a good bathroom. The location is excellent! Right in front of the hotel, there is a tram stop that connects you to several parts of the city. And the neighborhood is charming. I’ve been to Geneva a few times and never liked the hotels, but this one truly won me over.

A cute little hotel with tons of historical value! This place has been a place to stay over at since the early 1800´s, and it´s still a lovely place. Great coffee and breakfast, impeccable bathroom, but maybe too hard a bed... the latter doesn´t matter, I´ll definitely stay here again!

The room wasn't clean and the breakfast didn't meet our expectations.There were very few things to choose Besides, it was supposed to be served till 10 a.m. but the guy picked up everything earlier. The two guys who run this hotel are not , precisely, very nice. I would not recommend this place. Too expensive for the service offered.

The hotel was very authentic and rustic in a traditional but quaint way. The staff were friendly and helpful although some didn’t have the best English. It was clean but the some of the fittings could do with an upgrade, one of my power points didn’t work at all. The transport links are great with a tram stop literally outside the hotel. I was emailed a free transport pass from the hotel but the website was glitchy so it didn’t work - I’m sure they could issue in the hotel but I was too late to ask. Nice area but a lot was closed while I was there (Sunday - Tuesday I suspect are the quietest days anyway).

Extremely Disappointing Experience

I recently had the misfortune of booking a stay at Auberge Communale de Carouge through Hotels.com, and I can't stress enough how disappointing the experience was. Upon arrival, I was informed that the hotel was overbooked, despite having a confirmed, prepaid reservation. The reception staff were unhelpful, displaying a complete lack of customer service skills; they could not offer any assistance in finding me another place to stay for the night. I was left with no choice but to find alternative accommodation on my own and bear the cost again. Given that I had already paid for a room at Auberge Communale de Carouge, this was extremely frustrating and financially burdensome. What further adds to the disappointment is that there has been no effort from the hotel to make amends or offer any form of compensation. I strongly discourage anyone from booking at this establishment. It's crucial for a hotel to have dependable reservations and competent staff, and this hotel, unfortunately, fails at both.

Charming hotel in a lovely area close to Geneva

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. I was visiting family nearby and never stayed in a hotel before. The isn't able to host guests anymore, so I'd always seen this hotel from the tram & been attracted to it. Its historic character is appealing. The interiors are beautifully updated, so don't be put off by the age of the exterior. There is an elevator we were happy about, after staying on the 4th floor of a hotel in Paris without. The room was very clean but small. We were on the top level so we also had the roofline, but we enjoyed the loft-like coziness. There are more spacious rooms, but likely more costly. Free continental breakfast was decent. The bread and croissants were delicious. If you request coffee, it's made behind the bar from a real espresso machine just like from a coffee shop. The hotel has a bar/restaurant, but we didn't have time to dine there. The negative for light sleepers is it is literally next to the tram stop (lines 12 and 18), but that is also very convenient for easy access to the main train station (Gare Cornavin) and Geneva city center. The area itself (Carouge) is quaint and lovely to walk around. There is a grocery (Migros) within two blocks where you can pickup ready-to-eat food, however there is no fridge in the room. It seems to be owned by two men, so it supports local small business. We did not find the staff friendly, but that could be caused by language barriers, as well as Swiss culture. Service was good. Would stay again.
