My stay at Hotel De Geneve was quite enjoyable overall. The charming, chalet-style decor created a cozy atmosphere, and the location near the train station made it incredibly convenient for exploring. However, the noise from traffic did occasionally disrupt my sleep, and I noticed the towels could use an update. Despite these minor drawbacks, it was a good value for money and I appreciated the friendly staff.
