Guest scores & sentiment

From 80 guest reviews · multi-source · as of 2026-07-20

Guests consistently praise the convenient tram-side location, clean rooms, friendly and efficient staff, and reasonable value for Geneva. The main drawbacks are the lack of air conditioning causing stuffy rooms in summer, poor soundproofing from streets and neighboring rooms, shared or awkwardly designed communal bathrooms, and occasional odors in hallways. Overall, it suits short stays prioritizing location and budget over premium comfort.

It quickly becomes clear that this friendly, buzzy venue is light years from your average Thai eatery. Everything is made from scratch with fresh, first-class ingredients and the flavours are both refined and rugged. Examples include fried rice balls with pork (Laab Nem Tod) and fried rice with crab and spring onions (Khao Pad Pool), without forgetting the starters that are ideal to share. The friendly, casual front-of-house team sets the tone and in summer, a few tables are laid on the pavement. A word to the wise: booking is essential, even at lunchtime!
