“Excellent centrally located Gem with exceptional service”
The check in experience was warm, personal and efficient. I don't usually like being shown to my room, but the receptionist simply took me to my room and wished me good night - nothing over the top like explaining how to turn the taps on. The room itself was spotless, had a great coffee machine, lashings of free bottled water (4 half litre bottles is a first for me) and featured a good iPod dock, LCD TV, etc. The bed was comfortable and welcoming with crisp, white sheets, embellished with a sweet orange flavoured, heart-shaped, iced biscuit.
I was checked out efficiently and directed to the University Hospital of Geneva, not with the usual sketch on a tourist map, but with the receptionist walking me half way down the street until he could point me towards the road I needed - excellent. I left my luggage there for the day and on returning found it had received a gift, a small bar of Toblerone - a nice present for the kids.
Finally on needing further advice to reach the train station to Zurich, I was presented with a free public transport pass and step by step instructions to the station, via the excellent tram system. They even offered to check the train times for me.
If you are after a weekend in a city with no idea where to go or what to do, the staff at this hotel would probably give you a personal tour. The service was simply exceptional. The fact that he hotel was clean, modern and comfortable was just the icing on the cake. Stay here and you won't be disappointed.
