It's very near the city center and near the lake as well. Downstairs are shops and restaurants. It's literally few blocks away from the main Genève station where you can take the bus, tram or train. The room itself is very big. If you have big luggages it will be a bit of a problem not unless you don't mind walking til the 4th floor as there are no elevator in the building. You can hear the noises from the other side of the room itself and the footsteps on the top floor. Those are the only issues we experienced, the rest we had a lovely stay.
