The hotel is in a calm street very close to the train station, the lake, and eateries in Rue de Berne, making it wonderful for first-time visitors to Geneva. The rooms are clean and tidy, facing the square in the backside of the hotel, although the price can be quite high during peak season. The service is especially helpful and attentive, with occasional hiccups in assistance to guests. The dining experience meets usual 3-star expectations but could improve with a wider range of products. Overall, a convenient location but with pricey peak season rates.

I checked into this hotel for a short stay, and despite the lingering smell of smoke, I found the rooms functional and clean. The breakfast room on the top floor offers a lofty space with picturesque views of the surrounding buildings, even though it was a bit overwhelming with deodorizer.

I had a great stay at Hotel Cristal. The rooms, though small, are well designed and optimize every inch of space. The location is superb, especially for exploring Geneva and reaching the airport quickly with frequent train connections. The service was helpful, offering tips on nearby attractions, even though there were some issues with uncooperative ironing facilities. The dining was satisfactory but could have been richer, considering the prices in Geneva. Overall, a convenient choice for a short stay in Geneva.

My stay at Hotel Cristal was a mixed experience. The rooms, although well designed, felt a bit impractical and small for a couple and appeared somewhat tired. On the bright side, they were clean and efficiently organized. The service was mostly pleasant and helpful, but there was an incident where assistance was lacking for another guest. The location was very convenient, close to the train station and within walking distance of the lake, perfect for exploring Geneva. However, there were some minor drawbacks that affected the overall value. The dining options were decent, with some limitations, and the facilities offered were satisfactory.
