Geneva, Switzerland






Hey Guys,

I just wanted to take the time to give a short review of hotel Des Tourelles. It is probably considered a 2 or 3 star hotel, but don't let that scare you. The hotel was spectacular in every way. It is a small and cozy hotel and the staff there are great. Geneva is a small city so getting around is very easy and if you stay at this hotel you will get a free bus pass for the duration of your stay. Although you can use the bus to get around, it is also possible to get around on foot since everything is so close. We stayed in room 34, which comprised of two double beds and a single. We had three people in the room and we were able to stay there very comfortably. The bathroom is a bit on the small side but keep in mind that this is Europe's style in general, they usually have small rooms, bathrooms or kitchens. There was no kitchen or microwave in the room but the staff were kind enough to let us use their kitchen when we wanted to cook our own food. We wood go to the local grocery store (COOP)and by pasta or microwavable dinners and prepare them in the hotel's kitchen. We had no problems while we stayed there and the staff spoke enough English to help us with our inquiry's. You can buy calling cards at the local convenience store and use the many public phones to call home (if you like). We were on a very low budget, which is why this hotel was perfect for us. We also found it more beneficial to eat from fast food restaurants such as Burger King or McDonald's, since the other restaurants were a lot more expensive. Also keep in mind that Europe has a very relaxed lifestyle, which means that their clubs are not like American or Canadian clubs. They mainly like to lounge and talk in a club setting which means that you will mostly be exposed to trance music at low volumes when in Geneva. If you guys have any other question about the city or anything else fell free to contact me or just comment on the article. Enjoy!
