very stylish hotel, not bad location only about 5 min. to the lake by tram

We visited Geneva for a short break in March 2008 and chose our hotel on the recommendations of previous user's reviews here on Tripadvisor.

I booked the hotel using the Swiss Tourist Board website and had no problems at all with the arrangements.
We were delighted with our stay at La Cour Des Augustins, it is a 20 minute walk from the city centre, but the no.12 and no.13 trams run past the end of the road so it is not difficult to get to!
The hotel upgraded our room from an Open Space room to a Junior Suite on arrival without our asking and at no extra cost and it was superb!
Very modern, white walls, white linen, wooden floor, Siemens equipped kitchenette with microwave, hob, dishwasher and tea & coffee making facilities and all exceptionally clean!

We paid £167.50 per night room only, Geneva is an expensive City but this hotel was one of the more reasonable one's I could find and we highly recommend based on our experience.
One of the reviews I read said something like phone call charges were added to the credit card bill after they had left, we had no such problems, but then we did'nt use the room phone!
Breakfast is charged as an extra, but with a kitchen in the room and a supermarket over the way selling fresh croissant's there's no need to pay extra!

Getting from the airport to the City is easy, just a short train journey, getting around the City is easy too, trams, buses, waterferry's, you just by a travel pass and use all the above and unlike public transport here in the UK, everything runs like clockwork! If the Swiss can do it, why can't we???

There's plenty to see and do, we got our information from geneva.info/sights
Geneva, well worth a visit! :-) Enjoy!

We stayed at La Cour des Augustins in December 2007 / January 2008 in a room facing the backyard (no. 205, a "junior suite" upgrade from "open space" room). The room was spacious, stylish, well equipped, clean, new and had a comfortable bed. Reception staff was very nice and extremely helpful (found us a rental car although all the bigger firms were completely booked out). The breakfast (buffet) wasn't spectacular but ok and the atmosphere was nice. The neighbourhood is probably not the best part of the city, but it is safe, quiet, close to the inner city and close to Carouge, a (nowadays fashionable) old quarter very nice for dinner (try L'Olivier de Provence) and going out at night. Altogether, La Cour des Augustin clearly is not the Hotel des Bergues but a recommendable less pricy alternative.

I stayed at the hotel during the time of the ISTH conference in Geneva. The reception staff were very charming.

The room itself was a suite and housed a plasma screen, and kitchen area. The whole room was cutting edge and the visually the best place that I have stayed in.

Howevere after checking out the experience was a bit soured by the hotel charging me for phone bills that I did not take, after I left the hotel. The amount, however was only approx £30.
