To put it simply, it’s a terrific place, and one which is right in the heart of the city. Another review on here says this: “The staff are extremely well trained and genuinely care about their guests. I've never seen this level of sincerity at a regular hotel.” It’s true, absolutely. The level of service is comparable only to the... More

This is a hotel that has everything going for it except the hotel itself. The staff is excellent, with some of the best service I have seen, Nice complimentary room service breakfast, and a great location just off of the Rive Gauche, close to the historic old center of Geneva, shopping, transit, restaurants. It's quiet and clean. The hotel itself... More

I had to be in Geneva for work and booked this hotel because it was one of the first - and few - with availability. I paid £600+ for what was billed as a standard room (ouch!) but had little choice. On arrival, I was surprised to see how small the lobby was. This really felt like a sub-urban hotel,... More

The hotel was booked for me by my company. It was my first trip to Geneva so I did not know much about the local hotels and did not have an opinion in the matter. The room was spacious, clean and tastefully done up but a bit stuffy. I looked around for the AC vent but could not find it... More

Thank goodness I was invited by a friend. I am Swiss and British and speak fluent French but I would no way recommend this hotel only for business. I have travelled world-wide in five star hotels and this is the worst so far. Very old fashioned and dowdy, reception - a couple of receptionists quite pleasant but the rest and... More

This is a great little hotel. The staff are extremely well trained and genuinely care about their guests. I've never seen this level of sincerity at a regular hotel. The location is quite convenient, between the old city and the lake. In addition, guests can take advantage of a well-equipped fitness center just a three minute walk away. The only... More

If you like a hotel with character, nice people, great service and hidden treasures, you'll love La Cigogne. It's quirky, old school luxury in a way that Europe does really well. Rooms are all a bit different, but each with it's own charm. Several have working wood fireplaces. Just ring the front desk and they'll be up right away to... More

The service in this hotel is outstanding. The staff really goes the extra mile to make you feel at home (they don't forget to charge you though). I enjoyed my stay. I don't have anything to complain about. I was slightly disapointed with the size of my room.... This is a good hotel for business stay but if you are... More

With a daily rate of more than four hundred dollars we were given a very small room with a toilet sink that was broken such that we could not even brush our teeth. Breakfast was included in the rate, but we had to pay extra to have cold cereal or eggs in the morning. The only service received from the... More
