We wanted a hotel in Old Town so we booked The Calvy. It looks much better in photos than it actually is. It's older and kind of worn. But the staff was amazing! Let us store our luggage when we arrived then let us check in at noon. The room was large with 5 twin beds which fit our needs. I'd book it again but not in the summer. No AC. We did have two portable fans but the night we stayed it was very warm ... well hot. I can't say enough about the amazing, friendly, helpful staff. When they learned we needed a taxi at 7:00 am they prepared breakfast 30 minutes early so we could eat. Great breakfast. So yes, I'd stay at The Calvy again but not during the summer.

The staff are excellent but this hotel is a bit tired. Our room had no functioning air conditioning and was too hot for comfort, even when it wasn’t that hot outside.

Bad price-to-quality ratio

My primary concern is the cigarette smoke odor in the hotel, and the breakfast provided was inadequate, consisting of only bread, a banana, and coffee. the price-to-quality ratio of the hotel is poor.

Just a place to sleep

It’s not like what’s advertised but it’s alright as we are out the whole day. We were not informed about small details like free transportation and the free breakfast. Hopefully they can improve on their hospitality and customer service.

Nice reception staff but poorly maintained

The staff at the reception was very nice but the hotel in general was poorly maintained. The door of our room was broken, a lot of hair on the linen, strong smell of cigarettes in corridor and hotel room, knocking on the door at 10am before normal check out time, poor breakfast options...

Staff was friendly. Breakfast was ok. NO air conditioning. The sign at the front desk says that we can get a portable AC unit for extra 10 francs per night. We agreed and asked for it to be installed. It was never installed even when we asked for it multiple times. It was extremely hot and very difficult to sleep at night when you are soaked in sweat

We stayed in a room that could sleep 5 people comfortable size wise. However the beds were awful and the air unit was sub par by far. Especially because it was so nice outside but we couldn’t open the windows because of the bugs. The bathroom was quite small and almost didn’t feel clean. The staff was OK but not welcoming. Language was a barrier for sure. Also it was a good location close to many things to see/do.

Location is great - jet d’eau is only about 12 min walk (caution on windy days it will not be functioning!). For UN/Red Cross/broken chair - all about 25 mins by public transport but this is very close to the hotel (they also give you a free travel card for your stay). The room is basic and clean, but the walls are paper thin - I could hear the guy snoring in the next room! And the beds are rock hard - deff not a comfortable nights rest! Also a double room is 2 single beds pushed together which will slowly start to move apart whilst you lie on them!
