Lovely Stay with Really good Location

great location lake view charming room

The location was great. I walked to the train station in about fifteen minutes. My balcony provided a lake view, which I really appreciated. The room had character, perhaps due to the building's age. I found it charming.

the carpets seemed worn.

The location worked great! because it was a short walk from the train station. My room included a balcony. It provided views of Lake Geneva. This was a lovely extra. The room itself was big, i found the bathroom to be clean and quite modern. Due to the building's age. The room had a lot of nice character.

mixed feelings about my stay

outdated room small bathroom

the location was acceptable, providing easy access to the city center.

the room felt quite outdated (i guess it was obvious). the bathroom was tiny with the sink outside in the room. also, parking required prior arrangement and a deposit for the garage key, something i wasn't prepared for.
