Good for business travelers

Needed a point on Lake Geneva fairly central- easy to get to Geneva, Annecy, Mont Blanc, Montreaux and Lausanne. Easy access to autobahn- within 5 minute drive. No road noise. Heavy residential area. 2 good restaurants down by the lake. Ask for a room on the Lake view side. A/C in room - yes- not very cold. Hanging rod and open shelf is it for the closet- no drawers. Would recommend for business travelers. Good staff and hotel restaurant provides a nice breakfast and varied dinner menu weeknights.

Die Junior-Suite hatte für unseren Aufenthalt eine perfekte Grösse und war sehe schön eingerichtet. Schade, dass es auf dem Sitzplatz nur 1 Stuhl hatte. Wir konnten ohne Aufpreis den Checkout auf 15Uhr verschieben. Dank dem integrierten ÖV-Ticket haben wir die ÖV genutzt - Haltestellen direkt beim Hotel. Ich hatte angefragt für ein früheres Frühstück (da Wettkampf) und da kam man uns gar nicht entgegen. Das fand ich etwas schade. Alles andere hat mich begeistert.

Room without view

The checkin is like every year a fight. I pay extra to have a room overseeing the lake.. but always for 8 years long I initially get a room with a Terrace in the basement of the hotel. If you put your window open you get the smoke from others (not nice when you have astma) in your room and with 8 degrees Celsius you don’t even need a Terrace facing a bush. This time the checkin was even more unpleasant. The woman was quite rude and made sure by her way of answering my questions, my good mood disappeared.. I paid unnecessarily more for a superior room. As I last year got a a chicken Caesar salad with raw chicken, so eat outside the hotel already together with the checking experience this year, I guess it’s better to change hotel for the next years.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
A nice hotel option, upscale, architecturally a bit severe but with a very nice view of the mountains (not so much the lake). Overall, the neighborhood is very safe but unattractive: EPFL is not a campus notable for its grade, and the hotel has some sort of muddy field behind it (but with a path you can follow to walk on the side of the lake, which I recommend). Restaurant is good but has a limited choice; bar is fine but mostly has fairly cheap liqueur at relatively steep pricing. But the staff is incredibly warm and helpful, and we valued that. If you plan to use the sofa or sleep on it, ask for a room with a sofa that isn’t ancient and lumpy. Only some rooms even have a sofa, but among those that do, many should have been replaced around 1975!
