Geneva Saint-Jean-Charmilles Hotels

酒店位置好，步行十分鐘到老城，樓下有很多餐館，就是房間有點小，在日內瓦短途旅行二三天還是不錯的選擇.

During the watch exhibition...hotel prices skyrocketed...and it was hard to book... The hotel is within walking distance to the Patek Philippe Museum...

The best boutique five-star hotel I have ever stayed in Europe. The house has been around for three or four hundred years, but the interior is very modern and the details are very good, even more particular than some of the domestic head five stars.

The breakfast was great and the location was in the city centre. The service staff are also very good, and they are joking. The elevator is small and reminiscent of Paris. The location is not so bad to find it.

The room is large and clean, the decoration is warm and appropriate, the location is extremely advantageous, and the hotel management is also very considerate. I will stay here again next time I go to Geneva. The chocolate shop across the street is so delicious!

Upon arriving at the hotel, we did not find a receptionist, then he left one of the rooms and was apparently eating. At midnight around 12:30 am the man or woman who is staying above the room was knocking hard on the floor and then someone who we believe was the same man came down to knock on the door violently, the television was with a regular volume, which means that the rooms do not have sufficient noise insulation. The colors of the walls are super dark. The experience was not good.

Overall very warm, booked a double room with a kitchen. If you are not used to eating Western food, you can go to the supermarket to buy some food and come back to yourself. The disadvantage is that the front desk is not 24h service. We can't check out at the front desk because of the morning flight. The converter plug we borrowed is ready to be returned to the front desk, but no one. So I put it in the room. Later, the mail received the bill and directly charged us the cost of the conversion plug... Everyone returned to China, and it was no good to contact the hotel again. Can only be planted, but his morning croissant is very fresh and delicious!

The Ruby Claire Hotel is situated in central Geneva, very convenient to getting around especially for first time visitors. Staff at the hotel were super friendly and helpful. Rafael, the staff who checked us in, recommended us a number of places of interest worth visiting, showed us the best way (transportation) to get around the city, and public transportation was free as offered by the hotel. Knowing that we’d be staying for three nights, he recommended us to take the “daily make up room service”, rather than the welcome drinks. Good advice! Self service coffee and teas were available for free from the “library” situated on each floor, 24/7. Highly recommended!
