We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Rousseau. Our thanks to the staff, who were exceptionally pleasant, welcoming and helpful. Our rooms were comfortable, and the area was safe and convenient (close to train, tram, Lac Leman, dining, and shopping). We would stay here again!

8.4/10 Very Good! (64 reviews)

Hotel is within walking distance to the high end shopping street. Our room was small and decorated with nice colorful furnitures and wall art. It was however, too warm and our AC did not work. (outside mid 60's). We called the receptionist to have it fixed but the maintenance person couldn't troubleshoot it. They gave us a fan instead. I hope they'll fix this before the summer heat. Another thing I didn't like was our shower. While the water pressure was good, the water does not drain out as quickly as we liked, which means stepping on wet puddles for a while. Maybe that's why we're placed on the older part of the building. Our stay came with breakfast which I thought was good but not much selections. Overall, it was a nice small boutique hotel near the shopping district but definitely need some update.
