Negative Reviews
negative:
The Street Outside is Loud
One of the biggest complaints guests have about this hotel
is that it is located on one of Geneva's busiest streets and the noise from the
street can be quite loud at all hours of the day and night. Guests reported
hearing loud music, sirens, and large trucks, as well as other noises
throughout the night, even when the supposedly soundproof windows were closed.
negative:
There is No Air Conditioning
This hotel has no air conditioning. Many guests said that they were too hot to sleep comfortably. Several guests added that the windows could not be opened to cool the rooms down because of the loud street noises outside.
negative:
There is No On-Site Parking
Many guests said that having no on-site parking made staying at this hotel with luggage difficult because luggage has to be carried along the busy street from a parking area nearby.
