Beware, this hotel does not refund your money when you have to make a cancellation. They charge the FULL amount. I made a booking for two work colleagues who later had to cancel and the full amount was charged even though I cancelled within 24 hours. It was in the small print but I had made the booking on line and assumed (wrongly) that there would just be a normal cancellation fee of a small percentage. What a rip off.

Cosy, clean, excellent breakfast, free wifi Internet, 2-3 blocks from Cornavin train station south to the lake, and 1 min-walk from a simple yet very delicious kebab shop -- one of the best I've tried, and I've been to all continents.

They also have 2 PC desktops running Linux and Firefox web browser: i.e. all legal and perfect!!

The owner, Cédric Noujaim, is a very nice person, and does his best.

I strongly recommend for the ones that don't want to spend too much.

Stayed here for one night with a work colleague. Went down the tripadvisor ranking and chose it as it was the first sensibly priced hotel in Geneva. We tried to book via the internet on the hote's own website but it would only allow us to book one room. Called up and spoke to someone to let them know we needed 2 and she explained that the only way to do is do one at a time and cheked first that 2 rooms were available. We booked one and on attempting to book the second the message came back that it wasn't available! Called back and she informed us that we can the second one as double for single use (at extra cost) and were we sure we didn't just want to share!
The hotel is very centrally located, 5 mins to train station and less than 10 minutes to the lake and good restaurants. The man at reception when we arrived was very friendly and helpful (pointed out the 2 PCs in reception with free internet and gave us 2 free transport passes) but the woman there next day behaved as though she was filling in for someone and wasn't supposed to be dealing with us. The hotel is very small and so are the rooms but clean and quiet. Breakfast was exceptionally good for such a small hotel. It is the red light area and quite cosmopolitan but the restaurants around all seemed to offer cheap and cheerful fare. We walked for about 10-15 mins and had a wonderful dinner at Lipp.

I stayed at this Hotel on either side of a trip to Rome (a total of four nights).It is located very close to the railway station and, as the website says, just a few minutes from Lac Leman / de Geneve
The room wasn't huge but absolutely fine for one (even two) and had modern, tasteful decor. The bed was very comfortable with quality bedding, the bathroom spacious and modern with a hairdryer and a range of toiletries; tea-making facilities were provided. The wireless internet worked perfectly, the TV offered a range of channels and there was an in-room safe, an overhead fan and noise-reducing glazing. An iron and board were available to borrow and there were also computer facilities downstairs for those without their own PC.

The staff at reception were very helpful and pleasant and when I had occasion to seek emergency dental care, even though the young woman at reception wasn't able to suggest a contact, she was happy to phone the office after I had located a dentist.

A major highlight was the superb breakfast (included) - a full buffet in the broadest sense - and delicious!

I would definitely return to the Admiral Hotel.
