Résidence Studio Genève Centre Hotel

Good hotel in the center of Geneva. The beds are comfortable and it's definitely the most affordable in the area. However, this street is known for prostitution… Something to keep in mind if you are traveling with kids.

It has the essential minimum as a hotel and is insufficient as an apartment, because there is not a kitchen cloth, a scouring pad or detergent. In my case is not a problem, but I do not serve as a hotel: no hairdryer or safe and an unadvisable street.

Excellent price with express breakfast included and near everything. Best cost benefit relationship.

Cheap and cheerful. Area was a bit intense, but really close to the train station and the centre. Even got free tickets to go on the boat-bus.

Very well placed residence, a 5 minute walk from the central station.
The entrance is a bit ' dated ' or even uninviting.
Comfort Question, the apartment/room is well equipped and very clean.
Plan the quies balls for those who have light sleep because the doors slammed and the front door is far from having good soundproofing.

Only if you really need to save Money. The room us clean and functional. Could not sleep very well due to the dealer outside the window as the hotel is in the heart of Paquia.

Good location. Kitchen comfort.

Small rooms, no frills, but more than enough to visit Geneva at an affordable price. The Wi-Fi works perfect, the bed is spacious and you get a card for free public transportation throughout your stay. The check-in is done at the Novotel, the apartment does not have reception as such.

The room (studio), which we stayed in for 3 nights, was quite clean, but the floor was a bit worn out and it looked as if it hadn't been washed. The bed was very comfy and the kitchenette had everything one might need — plates, cups, cutlery, a microwave oven and a small fridge. The location is very good as you can reach the train/ bus/ tram station in a matter of minutes and go everywhere in the city limits. The only downside is that the neighborhood is a bit shady as there are some strange people on every corner, but overall no one will talk to you unless you want that.

Negative stars. Do not book. Room 56 is particularly disgusting. I felt nauseous from the damp smell in the room. Had to go back to Novotel and stay with them instead.

Good for 1 we. Noisy area during the day and night. Prostitutes and street dealers. Functional housing but piping slamming.
Close to the city centre and transportation.

Noisy piping and street, prostitution under your Windows and at any time, minimum facilities not even coffee maker for a Studio to avoid.

The experience was not great. Accidentally booked a studio (my mistake) but the lift was not big enough for strollers and the service was awful.

Location is a few blocks too far away from the water to get the sense you're in with everyone else. Rooms are simple, kitchenette has only a microwave for cooking, a mini fridge and sink, which means no decent cooking. Major annoyance and possible safety issue is that access to the rooms is not from the lobby, but instead around the corner of building from the lobby, close to the end of the block. This area has tons of people loitering all day, so coming in and out of that entrance is alone or in the evening is probably not a good idea… staff were pleasent and helpful, but by no means usefull for tourism related questions.

Although managed by Novotel they dont belong to them. Small rooms and even smaller lift. Odd smell in the room which we stayed. I will look for some other place when I visit geneve again!

The location was close to town, A kitchenette attached. Easy to access from airport and central station. Close to everything, Staff friendly and helpfull room was quite basic (no waterboiler nor hairdryer in room) relatively to the value of money, Soooooooo Noisy (room doors, lift door all were so noisy, poor entrance: lack of security. Building worn out (front doors, paint, elevator & stairs) ). The Area was good BUT the street itsself wasnot good and right in the middle of the red light district of Geneva which is not everyone's cup of coffee thing (some people maynot feel comfortable, but its safe).

Room was basic but adequate. 20 metres from red light area but close enough to train station and the stunning lake.

The lift floor causes a lot of noise, like an explosion each time someone enters. So you might interrupt someones rest, or someone might interrupt yours. Never stay in apartments ending in numbers 3 or 4, they have no curtain in kitchen corner. So in addition of having no privacy you will get up like a roster with the first sun rays. Ideal if you sleep early or if you ere a voyer. You get either a stove or microwave no standard. Room was not clean: spider, smashed insects in the wall… terrible experience. Street full of drug dealers, prostitutes and sex clubs by night. It is a shame for Novotel manage a place with these characteristics.

If you don't mind a colorful neighborhood this is a nice place.

To noise the elevator make a lot noise and it is just next to the bed I can't sleep in the night or in the day very cool there no a real kitchen no to much space too expensive for the quality.

Expensive and not comfortable. Right in the middle of the ladies of the night area.

I have travelled the world over and stayed in my fair share of dumps — I thought as long as I have a shower and a bed, I don't care about comfort. I arrive late and leave early, what more do I want? Another thing I have never done in my life is to write a review — this is my first! But I feel I must warn fellow travellers — do not go there! My room was stinky, dirty, filthy and the bathroom almost unusable — stains, bad, bad smell and yes, the neighbourhood is colourful, to say the least (but that did not bother me, I don't care). I checked out the next morning (yes, at the posh novotel just around the corner) and when I handed in my room key, said out loud "giving you back the key to dump n° 21". I was expecting a lengthy conversation but the guy knew and just shut up. Wise move as I was in no mood.
