Firstly the positives - the location is fabulous, the hotel is clean, we had a massive TV and the staff are friendly and helpful and it is cheap for Geneva. But, this is the kind of place you book if you don't want to spend much time in the hotel. We booked a room for 2 and we got a... More

My husband and I were very satisfied with this hotel. It was very cheap comparing to other hotels in the city and location is great. Small kitchen in the room allows you to cook and it's fully equipped. There are 2 supermarkets just round the corner,turn left from the hotel and then second left again.

I never write reviews but i have to on this place... it was so bad. Location was good and the receptionist was pleasant but it's really out of date, noise all night - I think our neighbors were Nigerian rappers. Iraqi flag hanging from the window along with other residence's laundry. I think I heard the police in the hallway... More

Being a stop-off for 2 nights of our little tour in Switzerland we choose the St James Residence after several days of internet research. Perfect location and very easy to find, no problem for us to find the residence, thru Geneve’s not so simple street network. Very convenient if you go there by car, but we saw that a train... More

Reading these reviews I am wondering if I am truely at the same place. Perhaps it's my time backpacking or maybe I'm just not as fussy as the other reviewers. That said I have stayed at my fair share of 4 and 5 star places so Im not totally naive to luxury either. People really what do you expect -... More

I did not mind the fact that the room was very old. This was shown on the pictures on the website. What I did mind was the fact that the shower was broken (and not fixed after I had contacted / complained the reception) the heather was on a non-movable 30 degrees, there were hairs in the bathroom, the bed...

The hotel has a good location, the staff is helpful, but is a bit dangerous. You can find hooker in the elevator or listen screaming during the night. I will not come back to this hotel.

Probably the most expensive city in the world. Hotel was ok kinda old, right next to Lake Geneva it's more like an apartment where you have ur own kitchen, so not bad if u don't want to eat out all the time. If you're staying here i'd suggest going to a supermarket like Megros and buying food from there and... More

The hotel is very well located for getting around Geneva with easy access to all forms of transport. Our studio (Room 47) was very spacious with beds for up to 5 people to sleep, though as I was only with my wife, we did not maximize our use! Main beds were comfortable though the ones in the second room (which... More

As surprising as it is to some, Swiss hotels are not great, nor are they very comfortable. This hotel in the center of Geneva (rue Basses, NOT the train station side of the city) is very cheap in comparison. I needed a room for one night because of a very early business appointment in Rive. No one to stay with... More
