Palais Lumieres

Very nice room with a large bathroom. The shower and the bed were great. This building is not “allowed” central A/C by Swiss authorities so it was quite hot.

The hotel was great. The check in staff was very friendly. The room was amazing! We got a superior family suite. It’s 2 rooms, kids room has 2 twins and the other room has 2 twins pushed together to make a king. The king room had a large soaking tub and separate toilet area away from the shower and tub. The kids room has its own bathroom that was large. Each room had a couch and table and sitting area. Both rooms share a front door but also have their own doors-imagine connecting rooms but with a shared “lobby” in between. Very unique and very well priced!! The neighborhood was quiet and safe and a few blocks from the action. Very close to the lake and the swimming beach. Very close to the train station and there are trams and buses right nearby. We walked to old town which took about 30 min or 15 min walk to the boat taxis then took the boat taxi across the lake. Overall I highly recommend this place!! Very rare to find family style rooms where the kids can stay with us but have their own space without breaking the bank on a suite! We didn’t eat at the restaurant or bistro but the menu looked good.

We stayed here just for one night to attend a football match at the nearby Stade de Genève. The hotel is really well located for that. Even though the hotel was fully booked and it was busy when we arrived for check-in, the lady on reception gave us such a warm welcome. She was the consummate professional! As mentioned by others, the rooms are very snug. We only had rucksacks so managed fine but it would be a struggle with even one suitcase. That said, we booked an entry-level room so there may be bigger rooms available. The bed was comfortable, the air con worked well and the shower was decent. Couldn’t have asked for more.
