“Great stop over for Geneva”

A good stop over hotel for access to Geneva. We had been on holiday to Lake Annecy and Chamonix.

A good stop over hotel for access to Geneva. We had been on holiday to Lake Annecy and Chamonix. On the way home I wanted to stop over near Geneva as it got us over an hour closer to Calais from Chamonix and would allow us to spend the day in Geneva then head up to stop over in Reims. This hotel was a good, budget friendly family option. Not perfect but for the cost it was great. We had 2 x 3 person rooms as there were 6 of us. Each room had a private shower room which was nice and clean with a hair dryer. There was also a kettle and basic drink making sachets (no milk). The rooms were pretty clean and functional. They even had air conditioning units which was great (at first) as it was 30+ degrees. However we found that the air conditioner turned off about midnight. By 2am it was very warm and it completely refused to turn back on. Same in both rooms so I assume they are programmed in some way that can't be over ridden. We couldn't really open the windows as the kids were in the 3rd beds and the window was directly over their heads and opened in so not ideal (and they were scared of bugs 🙄) Staff were helpful and friendly even when I licked myself out of the room 10 minutes after arriving. We booked breakfast at just under 12 euros each. It was OK - croissants and pain au chocolate were great. There was fresh bread and cheese /ham/hard boiled eggs. There were some luke warm sausages and fritata too but didn't look very appetising and some small cold crepes. Importantly for my children at least there was no Nutella/Nutella substitute - the disappointment! 🙄. There was jam. Cereals and yogurts and fruit too. There is a lovely communal lounge with fussball and the reception/dining room and terrace are all really nice too. Also a Buffalo Grill, super marche and McD's with a 1 minute walk. Was an easy 15-20 minute drive into Geneva which we did on the staff advice instead of taking train/tram. No need for vignette - just set Google maps to no tolls. Remember - not all mobile providers Inc Switzerland in Europe roaming. Also we did have a significant issue with parking in Geneva as our roof box took our car above 2m and no car parks allowed above that - pretty much all under ground. We were saved by a 1 hour parking at Cornavin (sp?) train station that had a 2.2m restriction and the Tourist Info in the train station as staff there were fantastic - advised us to buy a pass online to allow us to use street parking with particular blue signs - we did this and found a space pretty easily. Recommended for stop over near Geneva.

“Nice, clean and convenient location”

This hotel suited us as we where only staying for two nights on our way to st Tropez, The hotel is basic but is clean. Convenient Location for the supermarket, McDonald’s etc, Now the bad bits….

This hotel suited us as we where only staying for two nights on our way to st Tropez, The hotel is basic but is clean. Convenient Location for the supermarket, McDonald’s etc, Now the bad bits…. The restaurant is closed at the weekend which was a shame as we would have preferred to stay onsite, I feel they loose revenue with this decision. The breakfast was included in our rate, it’s extremely basic but was good enough for our needs. Would stay again

“Warm welcome, Easy access from Geneva”

We arrived by bike, had a warm welcome and had the possibility to shelter our bikes in a secured room for the night. Good dinner and breakfast. Easy access from Geneva by bike. We were happy to find this place!
