Good touring base for Geneva area (inc Chamonix)
Stayed here 4 nights as a good base (by car) for touring Geneva, Lausanne, and into France as far as Annecy & Chamonix..Beautiful grounds and view of Alps across Lake Geneva. Pretty convenient 20 mins or so drive from downtown Geneva and airport. CERN also easily reachable. Whilst Lausanne and Montreux are an hour or so in the other direction. Room was clean/modern (in a somewhat spartan continental style) - which is well represented in the hotel room photos. Continental breakfast was fine/convenient - particularly liked the fresh croissants! A good base for touring the area (if you have a car) - and so much cheaper than any equivalent room in Geneva!

Very clean, in a bit of a rural setting. So no walkable shopping place closeby. Staff at the front desk was really nice and helpful - I requested a late checkout and it was not an issue. Tons of parking as it is a chateau. Getting to is a bit of a fun drive through country roads. Bathrooms are shared, there’s a sink in the room with hairdryer. Beautiful views of the lake and mountains once you step outside or maybe from some other rooms, so if you are looking for a serene, quiet, place and want to experience staying at a chateau, it’s really nice and well managed with all the modern amenities. About 20-25 min from geneva. Breakfast was quite basic, so if you have picky eaters make sure you ask what else they can serve.

Simple rooms, not fancy if that’s what you’re looking for. Great Swiss countryside vibe and so close to the Geneva airport. We stayed on our first and last night during our trip and it worked great.

The property is beautiful, peaceful, excellent breakfast. The bedrooms are simple, but comfortable. It's in the middle of fields, so not walkable to any other places. We didn't have a car so a bit limiting, but lovely even so.

I would not recommend this property. I thought they would give me a bedroom in the main building, but they gave me a room in a remote building called the Grange. It was me, my wife and my son. We were given a bedroom in the Atico, with no side windows, just a window in the roof. It was clean but there were spiders. The worst was the feeling of claustrophobia, even more so without AC. It was the worst lodging I have taken in my life. I do not recommend them be careful. When I made the reservation through Expedia they showed me photos with windows, it is bad advertising. Yo no recomendaria esta propiedad. Pense me iban a dar un dormitorio en el edificio principal, pero me asignaron un cuarto en un edificio alejado llamado la Granja. Fuimos yo, mi esposa y mi hijo. Nos dieron un dormitorio en el Atico, sin ventanas laterales, solo una ventana en el techo. Si estaba limpio pero habian arañas. Lo peor fue la sensacion de claustrofobia, mas aun sin AC. Fue el peor hospedaje que halla tomado en mi vida. No se los recomiendo tengan cuidado. Cuando hice la reserva por Expedia me mostraron fotos con ventanas, es un mal advertising.

Happy stay
The main building is beautiful. The area is peaceful, green and well maintained. Getting there is a bit tricky, but in the end we managed. We arrived at about 21:30 and there was nobody at the Reception desk, but they've left the key with information how to get to our building. The breakfast was really nice and the receptionist when we checked out was very polite. It was a nice stay and it is a pity we didn't have more time to walk in the gardens.

Not worth it
I don’t know where to begin. If you’re going by car you’ll be alright. There is almost nothing in the area but I went for the nature. If you are going to take the bus and walk then you’re in for an adventure. They don’t tell you this and there are no signs but you are supposed to literally walk through a field to get to the property. Which would be nice and beautiful if you knew for sure you were going the right way. The beginning of the path just past he cemetery is there past that it’s grass that’s knee high. The gps doesn’t work well past that point and it shows you have to cross a river. Which again knowing this before hand would be great because there is a bridge to cross apparently. I thought for sure the gps must be tripping so I turned around and took the “car” route. It took 30 minutes in all of walking and once you get to the property you have to walk to another property where you actually stay. It’s basically a hostel with your own room. It’s loud, the walls are paper thin, shared bathroom, no ac, front desk or anything around. Switzerland is beautiful but for what you pay here just stay at a hostel in town or spend the extra money for a hotel because if not you’ll have to rely on a bus and a train each way with a cost.

More business, less romance
It is a beautiful location, but not really set up for a romantic getaway, which is what we were looking for. Paper thin walls, babies, conferences (lots of noise and talking) and a picture of Mary and Jesus over the bed... which are all ok, if it's not to be a romantic weekend 😅

Dreamy view!
A lovely place to stay! Rooms have everything you would need and the staff was very accomodating. I didn’t enjoy the restaurant at all. It was like a lunch cafeteria ... not a buffet. So try and avoid staying at this hotel in Sunday’s when everything else is closed - or you’ll have to eat there.

Hotel condition and the location
Hmm, the hotel location is excellent, the hospitality and staff attitudes towards clients are very good and friendly however the bathroom and toilets sharing was a very disappointing to me. The hotel management response to eventuality are super. The warmth welcoming remarks are very pleasing and I felt home and even it was my first encounter. Keep up with good work.. Augustine Namibia
