I stayed here for work and enjoyed it so much that I made a reservation here when my family joined me. The staff was very helpful including with assistance buying online soccer tickets in Zurich. This is an older property but we were very comfortable and enjoyed Le Bistro restaurant. Most importantly the location truly couldn’t be beat! The free 15 tram made getting around so easy. The hotel is an easy walk to Lake Geneva and the old city.

Disappointing stay. Room was not ready an hour after the check in time and the hotel did not offer anything as simple as a tea or coffee while we waited. The air conditioning did not work in the room which made it very uncomfortable given it was a hot weekend

I stayed here for business and found it very convenient. The property is older but the rooms are large and overall it’s a good price to quality ratio. Food shopping nearby meant not every meal had to be eaten in a restaurant. The staff were really outstanding and helpful.

We loved it here! The sauna is amazing- dry, cold shower, steam, cold shower, relax on the lounger! The fitness center has a good supply of free weights (dumbells) so you can get a good workout. Room service was quick and efficient, and we loved the room!

Great value
Close to the train station and public transportation. I was hesitant about the neighborhood but it is safe. I took detour on my last night in Geneva and ended up on the red light district. It is located about 5 blocks away from the hotel. Needless to say, i quickly went to the main road where the hotel is located.

Renovation works / very noisy
I’ve stayed in the Royal on many occasions. It is one of my usual places to stay in Geneva. There are ongoing renovation works taking place in the hotel. It is therefore very noisy. This was not mentioned on the hotel.com page. Furthermore the AC in the room did not work, which made it an uncomfortable sleep during the summer heat.
