The on-site Café Hôtel Les Armures is Geneva's oldest coffee house, a city landmark popular among locals.

Balanced stay.

friendly staff warm greeting simple process check-in process great meal hotel restaurant high price overall price excluded breakfast breakfast inclusion breakfast price high breakfast price
The staff greeted me warmly. Check-in was a very simple process. The hotel restaurant provided a great meal. It was one of the best on my trip.
The price seemed high. Breakfast was not included. The breakfast price itself was also high, I thought.
