What guests think

At Hotel de Geneve, travellers highlight a central, walkable location near Cornavin station and Old Town, welcoming and helpful staff, and good value in an older, no‑frills property with small rooms and very compact bathrooms.

Guests frequently describe the hotel and rooms as clean. Common drawbacks include no air conditioning (fans are provided), traffic or nightlife noise, thin walls, and very small showers; a few reviews cite minor maintenance issues. Expect a simple, well-located base rather than full-service comforts.

Well-located base from which to explore Geneva. Aurelius at reception (hope I spelled his name right) was extremely helpful, laundering a shirt free of charge & offering lots of helpful advice about sightseeing. Breakfast basic, but good value. Would stay here again.

Super friendly staff which could communicate in various languages, the room was ready ahead of time, room was spacious, the bathroom reminded me of one inside of an RV - but it was private, clean and functional, no A/C in the room, but there was a fan provided, close to train station and buses and trams to airport, walking distance to old town and all the must-see tourist spots. Just 5 Euros for coffee and croissant for breakfast and they were able to store our luggage the last day after checkout so we could explore the city more while we waited for our train.

Fantastic stay for the Geneva Marathon. Hotel was conveniently placed for station and all other areas we needed to get to. Staff very welcoming and helpful, nothing was too much trouble from getting extra pillows to borrowing scissors. Nice touch being able to have tea/coffee, juice and croissant for breakfast at only 5CHF. Would definitely recommend.

Cute little hotel near the train station. Desk clerk almost always on duty making access very safe. Lobby and rooms are small and bathroom is compact, but it is a good value. No frills. Their 5 euro continental breakfast is also a good deal, as is the free Geneva card which allows free transportation on public transit all around the city. Front desk staff fluent in English and very helpful.

This place was great for our 2-night stay in Geneva. It’s close to the train station and also where we needed to catch a bus for a day trip. The room was clean, comfortable and affordable. This is not a flashy hotel – very down-to-earth and homey, and they serve a nice light breakfast of coffee, OJ and a croissant. Pavel was especially helpful with our questions and made breakfast a fun way to get our day off to a good start! Very relaxed stay here – a good vibe!

Affordable accommodation in a great location. Quaint vibe and decor in reception. Lift wasn’t working so had to carry bags to second floor. Basic facilities but probably the best you’ll get at that price point in Geneva.

I interacted with multiple people at the front desk and they were all great. One helped me print free transit passes, something I should have done on my end prior to arriving. Another helped me print luggage tags from the office computer. Hotel is centrally located. The only downside: the water/snack vending machines on the second floor can be finicky, especially toward 1 euro coins.

A small but pleasant hotel with friendly staff. When we first arrived and wanted to use the toilet on the second floor, it was unfortunately very dirty. Luckily, our room was thoroughly cleaned every day and always felt fresh, as did the bathroom. The hotel itself is not the newest, but it is well maintained. Overall, we had a very nice stay.

The hotel is ok for a budget hotel. VERY noisy if room faces street. But also very few room amenities. No clock. Difficult to reach (and fee)?power outlets. No USB plugs. Very dated infrastructure. Even low cost upgrades would make a difference. It’s an easy walk to the train and to old town. And the front desk staff is friendly. Note that the desk is not staffed 25 hr, so best to get there between 7:00 am and 20 pm. We came later but the front desk called us to let us know how to get in and find our rooms, and he was very nice.

This is a no frills boutique hotel in a much older building and traditional Suisse style. It’s in an excellent location. If you like large rooms and bathrooms, this is not the hotel for you. Bathroom is a cruise ship for squeezed into the space to offer a private bath for your room. The rooms are also very small. No AC. I was okay with that and opened the windows and enjoyed listening to the sounds of the city, my partner, not so much. Only there to have a place to put our things and sleep, rest of the time we were out and about. The hotel staff is very friendly and accommodating. Has a cozy, family feel in the middle of the city!

Gamalt rom. Knirkete golv men grei seng. Veldig få stikkontaktar på rommet, me måtte dra fram nattbord for å komme til. Badet er veldig trangt og det føles som man er om bord på ein båt når man skal inn på badet. Hadde balkongdør som kan opnast, men det er mykje trafikkstøy fra vegen. I tillegg var det frykteleg varmt når me var der, selvsagt ingen air condition, men det positive var at det var ein vifte på rommet som kunne stå på.

Hotel simples, limpo, antigo e estiloso, muito bem localizado próximo a parada de trens e de ônibus. O banheiro privativo do quarto é bem pequeno, estilo banheiro pronto. O quarto também é pequeno mas confortável, tendo inclusive uma poltrona, um armário e uma mesa de trabalho (tudo bem próximo). Há apenas 1 travesseiro, então se precisa de mais precisará solicitar logo (não solicitei pois dormi apenas 1 noite). O atendimento é bom, é há opção de um desjejum de 1 bom café grande, 1 croissant e 1 suco ao custo de CHF 5. Definitivamente vale o custo benefício, considerando os altos preços de Genebra.
