This hotel was fantastic. Set on a hill overlooking lake Geneva gives fantastic views of the lake and is especially nice at night. The gentleman that welcomed us was very nice and very helpful with our travel plans the next day. I highly recommend staying here.

Beautiful and at the same time convenient location, very friendly staff, confortable room: very good!
The staff was very professional. We were greeted by Jerôme at the reception, and he was very nice; very helpful. We were impressed by the hotel. And the VIEW over Lake Geneva is unreal.
I really impressed lake Leman. Its so beautiful and historical hotel also they got free parking lot and near the Geneva Airport. That’s why I picked this hotel. Cozy room and enough amenities.
Great location in between towns. Nothing near by we had our own car

The bedrooms are aged and in need of refurbishment. The location and views are lovely and dining hall clean but for the cost of the room I would have expected better quality. The pillow was non existent. We arrived late and reception closes at 11pm and no one appears to be available after this time to allow check in or on site to deal with any issues should they arise.

Great staff. Property is old and dated. Rooms need more colour in them. No hangers in closet and tv is small for the room. Remote did not work.
We had a good stay here. We used it as a base for the surrounding areas. Staff was friendly and helpful, room was clean. Free parking was super helpful. No complaints!
This hotel was a hidden gem! We expected a cute place in wine country but this far exceeded our expectations! It was the perfect location with a gorgeous view. Highly recommend staying here!

Nice location. Parking handy and a kettle in the room. Good views of the lake from the terrace.
However, no bar or restaurant open in the evening, so had to walk into town. It’s very hilly which may affect some.
