Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Cristal Design enjoys a fantastic location, just a short walk from the main train station and Lake Geneva, making it easy to explore the city. The modern design and well-maintained rooms, some offering mountain views and even balconies, appeal to many guests. The inclusion of a transport pass is appreciated; though some guests have found the breakfast options limited, the hotel's convenient access to transportation, shopping, and restaurants is a definite highlight, with supermarkets nearby for affordable shopping.

Superb Location and Efficient Service!

convenient location helpful staff comfortable bed strong shower

I found the location convenient. It's a short walk from the train station. The staff were cute and provided useful information about the city travel pass upon my arrival. My room was clean, with a comfortable bed and a strong, refreshing shower. Early check-in was a plus, allowing me to settle in immediately.

I noticed that the hallways had many mirrors. I nearly bumped into them a few times.

The breakfast room is bright , and airy. The buffet offered a good variety of European options , along with cereal and toast. Soy milk was available , which I appreciated, because it's rare.

Mediocre Stay near the Station

basic room meager breakfast

The location is quite convenient as it sits close to the central train station.

The room felt quite basic. The whitewashed walls gave it a somewhat unfinished appearance. The pictures online definitely misled me. the breakfast was meager for its cost.

flimsy hose temperature fluctuation

The location was convenient near the train station.

The noise outside was excessive at night. Homeless people were yelling. The shower was also frustrating. The hose was flimsy, and the temperature kept fluctuating. I expected better soundproofing and a functional shower.

reasonable stay near the station

central location easy access odd design room layout

the location proved very convenient. the proximity to the railway station was a definite advantage (it made arrivals and departures so much easier). i also appreciated the easy access to public transport.

the hotel design was somewhat peculiar. i encountered mirrors throughout the hallway, which caused some disorientation. the room layout also presented a minor privacy issue between the bathroom and bed area.
