Hotels near Place Bourg du Four in Geneva

I booked a single room for one night and a double room for another. The rooms were clean and tidy, and the front desk staff was very friendly. When I told them I'd left my room key inside, they jokingly told me I could sleep at the front desk instead! The hotel's location is excellent; you can get there directly from the train station by taking the underground passage and then an elevator. Breakfast options were a bit limited, but the quality felt good, and the crepes were nicely made. The single room was quite small, with just enough space by the window to open a 28-inch suitcase. The double room, however, was much larger and even had a mini-fridge. The downside was that the beds were too soft, which seems to be a common issue in Europe, and the curtains let in a lot of light, which is tough when it gets bright so early in Geneva during summer. Most importantly, it has air conditioning! Air conditioning! Air conditioning! It was an absolute lifesaver! Seriously, what on earth were those places I stayed in Zurich and Interlaken thinking, having no AC at all?!

Great location by the train station. The rooms are well-appointed and cozy. Cleaning and everything else was excellent. Good breakfast – my only wish would have been a wider selection of bread. The dinner menu was good – delicious food and quite reasonably priced, even for Switzerland. – I would choose the Warwick again for future trips to Geneva.

I booked this as an 'airport hotel,' but you actually still need to take a shuttle bus. You have to wait for it outside the airport, where the taxis park. Geneva Airport's management isn't very convenient; there were no staff to ask, and I couldn't find any hotel parking signs. It took me ages to find the bus stop. All the shuttle buses for the various airport hotels seem to stop randomly, so you really have to search, especially if it's your first time staying at this hotel, as the bus names aren't always easy to recognize. I missed the first bus because it was too crowded, and the second one was also full – I almost missed it too! They run about every 20 minutes. Luckily, Trip.com's service was excellent and helped me with the address.

This is my third stay at this hotel. Its location is fantastic, being just a 1-2 minute walk from the lake. The No. 15 bus stop is also a short stroll away. It's only two stops from the train station, or a pleasant 10-15 minute walk, which is convenient even with luggage. The UN headquarters are also just two stops away. The hotel provides free public transport passes, making getting around exceptionally easy. You'll find Lidl and Coop supermarkets just one stop away. The hotel breakfast features delicious homemade bread and croissants. While the selection isn't vast, everything is truly delicious, and you can smell the wonderfully fresh aroma starting as early as 5 AM each morning. The price was very reasonable for Geneva, and the room also comes with a kitchen, perfect if you prefer to cook your own meals. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied to have found such a great place in a city like Geneva!

I was drawn to this lakeside hotel and stayed here for three days, but I definitely won't be coming back. Here's why: 1. **Lake View:** While the hotel is near the lake, many private residences fence off the shoreline. You have to walk quite a distance to actually get close to the water, otherwise, you're just looking at walls or seeing the lake from a high vantage point. 2. **Breakfast:** It was awful! Awful! Awful! Seriously, don't bother buying it! Especially when they offer a 'discount' at check-in – absolutely do NOT buy it! It's not worth it and you can't get a refund! They make you sign a paper, and it's a very strict policy. Do not buy it, seriously. There's a big supermarket downstairs where you can easily grab some fruit, yogurt, and bread, which is far more than enough. 3. **Service Attitude:** Apart from a decent check-in on the first day, the service was terrible! And get this – when I tried to cancel my breakfast, they automatically checked me out! The next day, someone just opened my room door without knocking! I spoke up from inside, which startled them, and a few minutes later they claimed they were just cleaning. But I hadn't checked out, and I had a 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the door! I strongly suspect they were trying to steal something and then colluded with the hotel to pretend it was a cleaning service. How else could they have 'checked me out' by default when I hadn't returned my room card or gotten my deposit back? There was no official checkout process! And they were completely unreasonable about it! They actually believed that canceling breakfast meant I was checking out! What kind of logic is that?! And they were unwilling to offer any compensation! Even with Trip.com customer service intervening, they remained rigid, sticking to their 'unreasonable' rules. If you have other options, absolutely do not stay here! 4. **Regarding the transport card:** You have to actively ask for it; if you don't, you won't get one. Unlike other hotels I've stayed at, they don't proactively email you or provide it in advance. Don't come! Don't come! Don't come! (That's three times, emphasizing its importance). It's not worth it. Don't come here; it will make you unhappy and severely impact your travel experience.

This hotel is suitable for business trips. It offers great value for money compared to other accommodations. The location is also excellent, making it convenient for both public transport and walking. Most importantly, they were very kind and responsive before I booked, and continued to be attentive throughout my stay. However, there were some minor inconveniences during my stay, such as having repairmen enter my room to fix something that needed attention.

Location: 10-15m away from Munich Central Station, Königsplatz, Glyptothek, Pinakothek by foot. A bit further away from Munich Residence, Marienplatz, Viktualienmarkt, Englischer Garten but has public transport nearby. Room: Clean, size quite comfortable. Although the hallway was dusty and smelled a bit due to renovation work in the room opposite— merely screened off by plastic that kept coming loose. We could also hear tram from outside but was not too bothersome. Breakfast: A deception. Scramble eggs and pastries were so-so, coffee was also not good... We regretted choosing a room with breakfast deal. Not very varied, especially if staying for several nights. Bar: Open 24/7 but had no indication anywhere that cocktails or small bites were no longer available after a certain time. Staff: Staff were friendly Hotel & Service: Standard layout like other Ruby: Galley on each floor with tea, coffee available & ironing board Felt that service was not up to par with some other Ruby.

The hotel located near United Nations, public transportation is free by traveling in GENEVA, the hotel staff will help to register when you check in. The room was clean, but the furniture was a bit old as expected. The breakfast was offered by semi buffet, a variety of food selections, quality of food was nice.

Fab location only a few mins walk from the train station, which was perfect for getting to the airport. Also really walkable to the city centre attractions. Capsule was clean and comfortable, I loved all the storage space provided and the fold out table, came with a fan too which was needed for the heat! Bathroom was sufficient and clean. The customer service was prompt and efficient, I had a couple of issues that I had to message them about and always got a quick reply. Would definitely stay here again in the future.
