The location is great, 5 min walk from Lac Leman/ 10 min from Le Jet d’Eau or Pont Mont Blanc with easy access to Gare Cornavin. Close to BelAir and other fashionable areas. Tram 2 to Jonction (about 20 min trip) is only 2 min away. Bus 10 to the airport too. The decor of the hotel is somewhat dated but the rooms are spacious and there is a grand lobby for a proper holiday experience. The air conditioning worked but only down to 25 degrees (which was satisfactory in 35 degrees weather outside). Reception staff were extremely helpful and cordial (they assisted with WiFi, luggage, mains adapter, local area information etc). The A/C white noise blocked out the traffic noise to a great extent but there is some external noise if you are sensitive to this. I did not hear noise from other rooms. No coffee/tea facilities in the room but there are cafes, restaurants and bars nearby. Good shower pressure. Proper hairdryer in the wardrobe. No USB ports, and only Swiss mains, one must bring Swiss mains adapter when travelling from abroad.
