Location left a lot to be desired, right next to the train line in a questionable part of town. Shower with mildew spots, vanity with peeling paint. Windows are close enough to the building next door that we felt like we couldn’t open them. I was surprised with the condition of the rooms despite a cute front door and relatively good reviews online. Close to the train station but I wouldn’t recommend walking it.

A nice and safe bed and breakfast type hotel in the middle of the Paquis district in Geneva with easy access to public transportation, particularly the train/tram stations within a short walk. Breakfast is good. The bathroom though is small and the shower stall barely fits a person. Make sure you bring travel adapters if you are coming in from the US for EU/Swiss receptacles.

We had to switch hotels, this was not as pictured

The phrase “roughing it” comes to mind. The location is close to the train station, but the actual rooms and furnishings are pretty worn, don’t expect it to look like the pictures. For the price, it definitely isn’t up to standard. The staff was nice, but the hotel is really dated. Cleanliness was not up to standard and furniture/bedding/linens was worn and in some instances stained and the floor didn’t seem clean either. It’s also in a slightly run-down area, and then the door lock was loose/falling off. We ended up only staying one night and moved to a different hotel because we were super uncomfortable and the room didn’t look like the pictures. They refused to refund the unused nights on our reservation, but even so it was worth changing hotels to have a nice clean and safe place to come back to. I’d recommend to stay somewhere else.

The hotel was very clean and comfortable. It was very quiet - I hardly heard anything from within or outside the hotel. The room was a good size with plenty of wardrobe space. The bathroom was an OK size with good shelf space. The staff were fairly friendly and professional. Breakfast was very nice with a good continental selection. There were good eating options nearby. Also there were supermarkets, souvenier and other shops on the main road. The property is about a 5-10 minute walk from the train station and a 10 minute walk to the lake. There is a tram station nearby which goes to the UN headquarters or into the centre of town.

The room was good. However, receptionist staff are not very friendly and quite rude. Not the hospitality that I was expecting. This an area that they need to work on based their attitude and how they treat guests. I guess you shouldn't expect anything more considering that this is not a high-end hotel. I have high expectation as an American tourist.

Good location, comfortable rooms, few minor issue

I stayed here for 5 nights.

It's a 3 star hotel, as advertised. Not a large chain hotel with lots of staff, so there's one person on reception during extended business hours but not a team of reception staff 24/7 or anything like that. It's comfortable; a little on the basic side (eg. tiny desk, small-ish room, no conditioner in the shower) but this is to be expected when booking an economical 3 star option in Geneva.

The room and bed were comfortable. The air conditioner in the room I was in for my first night was clearly faulty as it made a strange noise all night; they happily moved me to another room without any fuss. The air con in the 2nd room was much better but still made the occasional 'gurgling' sound (probably need to top-up the refrigerant gas) that woke me up from time to time. I'm a light sleeper so this annoyed me, but if you're used to a few low-level background noises when you're sleeping, it may not affect you. I'm sure 90% of people wouldn't be worried by it.

The location is excellent. 5-10 minute walk from the train station, lots of restaurants nearby, and a 10-15 minute walk to the lake and the Old Town. There's a tram line very close by. One of the good things about the location is it's set back from the main street by half a block, so I heard zero road noise.

All up, for the price it's exactly what you'd expect, in a positive way. If they fix their air con system to be quieter, I'd have nothing to complain about, so would stay again.

We stayed at design hotel expecting some relevance to design. Some odd things like shower showed red for cold and blue for hot.. Maybe a joke? Beds comfy but duvets roasting for summer. Reception and breakfast bar staff charming and helpful, breakfast, not included, good but was astonished to hear gluten free roll, excellent, was meant to cost 8 SF extra! Considering all other hotels, 5, in Geneva and Italy provided, it seemed excessive.

It is a very neat property with comfortable beds and is located close to the main rail station, making transportation convenient for guests. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the friendly staff, in particular the senior citizen/ “pensioner” who checked me in despite the fact that it was not yet check-in time. He was a fabulous man! Additionally, guests have access to a minibar in their rooms where they can select drinks of their choice and pay at check-out. It is simply the best hotel I have ever stayed in. I nearly forgot to mention the giant flatscreen TV in the rooms as well as the fitness centre. I highly recommend Design Hotel F6 to anyone visiting Geneva

Poor service and amenities

This “hotel” doesn’t have 24 hr functioning reception and also they turn off their lift after they leave at 11pm. So if you stay upper floors , you need to take quite long stairs after that.

Also room had a very loud and disturbing sounding Air conditioning which had to be turned off to get some sleep.

Receptionist were not welcoming as it is supposed yo be in a hospitality establishment . You dont know if you are checking in and out to a hospital or a hotel.

Although advertised as having A/C available, it is barely noticeable once the heat hits Geneva. The shower cabin is extremely tight and is growing mould in some areas. The doors to the shower permit water to run through, posing a safety hazard when you exit for newcomers, which explains why most of the towels provided were used to dry the floor and to prevent accidents instead of keeping them clean for us. The existing mini fridge doesn't keep anything cold. Additionally, there is no iron or ironing board, which is necessary for tourists. Although the hotel itself was underwhelming for the price, the staff (receptionist) was excellent and very helpful in regards to making our stay as comfortable as it could have been.

A Nightmare On Crack

Was charged 4x the rate for what they insist was “pre-authorization” even though they deny even charging me in the first place. This locked my bank account. When I arrived I was told I never paid at all and needed to pay again so I was forced to pay by cash. The next day I book one night again with no other choice and they tried to charge me $300 for minibar food from the night before that I didn’t even consume. Mind you... there’s not even $300 worth of food in the minibar. They would not let me check in at all without payment for that. So I left. This was well beyond a nightmare. These people are completely incompetent and inconsiderate.

The breakfast was really good compared to other hotels that I’ve stayed at. The bed was heavenly and I had the most amazing sleep. There was no outside noise to be heard, although a little bit of inside noise like water in the pipes, but nothing dramatic. If you’re looking for a spacious room then this is not the place, but I just wanted a really comfortable bed in a clean accommodation close to all amenities, and it was perfect for that.
