The room was nice and clean, breakfast was good, staff was always super nice and helpful. The main issue was how hot the room was! Without air conditioning and only a standing fan, every evening was extremely uncomfortable and difficult to get any rest and sleep. Yes there was a long heat wave the entire week I was there. But why was the room often hotter than outside, it did not make sense. Otherwise it was a nice place to stay.

In the middle of summer, no AC. I was provided a fan, which provided a little relief, but it was simply so hot that it was like staying in a hot box. I'm sure when it's not summer, it's a good place. Centrally located, easy parking, great staff.

Great hotel at decent price for swiss

Bed was very comfortable, small kitchen was great, and shower pressure was strong. Only downside is the coffee for the provided coffee machine are not refilled daily. Was a little out of the way so I’ve you not up for walking 12-15 mins to the old town but it is a very nice walk alongside the lakeside and stop for a coffee at a local stop. Number 15 tram drop off one street away from the hotel.

It’s great having the kitchenette as we don’t have to spend money dining out. It would be even better if we were given some tea and coffee for the room.

Exterior of the hotel was being refurbished, therefore, the windows were obscured by the scaffolding. I expected better value for the price.
However, it is conveniently located near the central train station and the metro. Also, many restaurant options within five minute walk.
The room was quite small compared to all of the hotels we stayed at during our month long European vacation.

The kitchenette was thoughtfully appointed.Travel pass provided by the hotel ensured seamless sightseeing and convenient food shopping at nearby coop and lidl ( good prices, fresh produce).

Very upset after staying here. I could get over the dirty bathroom and very tired decor and facilities if the staff were kind and friendly but unfortunately that was not the case. I don’t think I have ever experienced such a lack of respect. On check-in there was a misunderstanding (caused in part by me and in part by the hotel). I apologised for my mistake but was treated harshly and not listened to. Since that point the hotel made mistakes and I was understandably frustrated. The last quote of my stay was that that they didn’t care that they were rude to me.

The hotel room had one available plug point for the fan or charging the phone or laptop. Upon complaining to the reception that amenities were inadequate for the price, I was told to go someplace else if I did not like it there. Very rudely cut the phone on me. Overall the night staff are not necessarily solution providers - they don't have skills to deal with irate customers or provide solutions for guests. The morning staff however was helpful on other requests and were responsive.

I imagine that many online-daters often feel the way I did when I arrived at the hotel: whose photos were those? The hotel's neighbourhood is rather untidy looking (the hipster area known as the Paquîs) when you come from Rue de Lausanne. It improves a bit when you continue towards the lake. Overall I was disappointed, and certainly don't think it was a good deal for the money. The lobby looks dated and needs a renovation, the room was ok (also dated) but did not have air-conditioning, which was a big problem that night. The breakfast room is quite nice, but the breakfast itself rather frugal. As said, the neighbourhood is trendy, with plenty of restaurants, and might be safe, though certainly does not look so at night, due to the proliferation of loitering groups of young males. Bed was good.

Nice room, great value, minii kitchen, but no AC

The hotel was a nice mid-range hotel. The room was good, and included a kitchenette, which I liked a lot. The staff were nice, and the included breakfast was quite a passable spread, not just coffee and a muffin as many hotels provide. This is a nice bonus in a city where eating can be pricey. However, the lack of AC was a killer. It broke 30 degrees celcius that weekend, and there is only a single small window in the kitchen. The balcony doors were sealed shut. I would have happily given a 4 star rating, but the combination of jet lag and hot room meant I wasn't sleeping very much. At least there was a little fan.

But overall, a nice place, nice staff, good value. Out of the summer months, highly recommended.

Staff was terrific, and the room was clean and comfortable. I paid a bit extra for the \"executive room\" with a king size bed, and the upgrade was worth the small additional cost. The room was a bit edgy in design and decor, which made for a fun experience. The hotel is two blocks from the tram line, and like many Swiss cities all hotels in Geneva give a free metro pass to guests so getting around the city is very easy. I would recommend the Drake and will plan to stay there again.

Well located hotel

Drake long champ is a friendly hotel in a great location, just 2 minutes walk from the lake. There are plenty of local restaurants and bars.

The staff were very friendly and all speak perfect English (which is helpful because my French is embarrassingly bad)

The public areas are modern and warm. The rooms are very clean but quite tired, it did look like some renovation is happening so hopefully this will include a fresh coat of paint and a new bathroom door in the bedrooms. I would have expected coffee making facilities in the room which would have been nice.

The bar area was a little disappointing, it consists of a wine machine which you buy vouchers from reception for. If there would have been draught beer and a bar tender I would have been quite happy to drink there instead of going out

All in all, a friendly little hotel that could do with more facilities. I would be happy to stay there again on my next trip to Geneva.

This hotel is mid-range, central and reasonably priced for Geneva which is expensive.

I am comparing this hotel with the Steingenberger Herrenhof Hotel, Vienna, which I would give 4.9.
This hotel is basic but adequate and very convenient to walk to the lake and to the centre of Geneva. Trams and buses ran within a few yards and the station was within easy access.
I would give it an overall rating of 2.5 as the beds were very firm/hard and the pillows very thin. The breadfast were quite adequate but basic. There was nowhere to enjoy coffee or tea during the day other than on ones bedroom. The sitting area was in a corridor. The hotel was quiet .

A konyha használhatatlan, a hotel kiválasztásakor egyik fő szempont volt. A szobakártya minden nap elromlott és vissza kellett menni a recepcióra, hogy újra aktiválják.A szobában egy használható konnektor van, a konyhában töltöttük a telefont.
