Hotel was quite good. Had upper level room to start that was quite hot. They were quick to bring a fan but it didn’t help enough. They then found us another room on lower floor which was great. Appreciate the responsiveness! We would stay here again

Best hotel in proximity of downtown Geneva

Hotel Royale was an amazing experience. They were so warm and welcoming and the room was so quaint and cute. It was romantic attire and it was really nice. They have a beautiful bar and lounge and the best part is that you can walk right out your front door and be right there in downtown Geneva!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars – Pleasantly Surprised! I was honestly blown away by how incredible this hotel was—especially for the price! The room was absolutely gorgeous: spacious, tastefully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. The bathroom was spotless, with fantastic water pressure in the shower that made it feel like a luxury spa. The bath towels were impressively large and plush—such a nice touch you don’t always get, even at more expensive places. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, and their warm, accommodating attitude really stood out. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised at how much value we got for such an affordable rate. I’d absolutely stay here again and recommend it without hesitation!

So so neighborhood, run down, good bed

Staff was friendly and responsive. Room was not ready when we arrived. The hotel is conveniently located next to the train station however the neighborhood is “sketchy”. The facade of the hotel is in poor condition but the inside is clean. It states that the hotel is a 4 star but believe it is more off a 3 star experience in general. Breakfast was ok. The room was spacious and the bed comfortable
