                                Nice lounge/bar area for relaxing, the concierge was very kind and helpful to buy the train ticket on my behalf, the entire hotel had gorgeous fresh flowers placed throughout. Staff were exceptionally good, the room was excellent and the breakfast was absolutely amazing. The gym was perfectly adequate.

                                I loved the location, there's better and nicer in town, the hotel is very nice directly located on the shores of lake Geneva close to downtown. The new decoration is very modern and stylish, staff are professional. The rooms are very cosy and big breakfast buffet in lounge in the am is convenient and plentiful.

                                The price i had to pay wasreally bad and the mattress feels like is 30 years old. Most undignified and the concierge typically look on helpless.

                                Very nice location and modern hotel. Great meeting venue and wonderful natural flowers decoration everywhere. Very helpful and friendly staff, very comfy bed. Gorgeous terrace, elegant restaurants and a very good choice for business travelers in Geneva.

                                Not worth the money and re new the toilets.

                                Just the location, great hotel and the fresh flowers in the lobby are a feast for the eyes. The staff is very friendly, the concierge is very helpful and the Aqua di Parma products in the bathroom are quite nice.

                                View of the room is nice too, the hotel Staff are friendly and efficient, overall service is quite disappointing. The suites are definitely spacious.

                                Eco friendly location and excellent hotel. Very nice lobby area and good service. The room was fine.

                                Bar was poor, most of the young staff were unprofesional, breakfast was expensive and all a bit over the top for my personal taste.
