This hotel is a "typical" Novotel that you find everywhere with decent space in the room and clean. The restaurant is limited and breakfast is average; the gym is rather small but fits the purpose. However just in front of this location there are guys selling drugs; do not seem dangerous however feels uncomfortable (at least to me). Avoiding this... More

This hotel is very convenient for the centre of Geneva being a short walk from the station, with easy access to the airport, and the lakeside. Hotel staff were helpful and the room was comfortable and spotlessly clean. Free wifi and city trael are definite bonuses. Don't bother with the breakfast though as it's expensive and not good. In all... More

The Novotel Geneva is well located for shops and lake in Geneva. Only a few minutes walk to the lake. Yes it is in the red light district but that is not a problem and should not put anyone off this hotel. The breakfasts are excellent with a good selection and the staff are very helpful. Good sized rooms. Would... More

Different choices of rooms, we had a double and a triple room. Good security; need a room key to work the lift for instance. The breakfast was good, many choices (scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, potatoes, selection of cereals and breads, excellent cheese-plate, fruits and salad-bar, yoghurts etc etc etc.) The free bus-pass was excellent, worked on busses, the tram, the...

I admit upfront that I have not travelled in Switzerland to date. I guess there was a little sticker shock for this medium quality brand, but for $300+ (US) I was still surprised. Overall, I have to say this hotel was a disappointment. Got in on a Tuesday to Geneva airport and had to make it to the hotel and... More

The hotel itself is fine. No character, as you would expect a chain hotel, clean, quite, functional. Worth the money. (Very) early check in was possible without any problem despite the fact that the hotel had full booking the day before. the only downside is the neighborhood, which is everything but Swiss. Lots of street prostitutes all around, which may... More

Enjoyed our stay at Novotel. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful and you get a free local transport pass on check in. The rooms were very nice. Bed was comfortable, room was a good size and bathroom was immaculate. There was a seperate toilet which was a bit strange, but not an issue. Free wifi also. Quite a... More

We have stayed in many Novotels while traveling across Europe. This was a nice one. The family room that we were given had two beds instead of a bed and a sleepersofa which was nice for our children. The location was great with just a 10 minute walk to the waterfront and about 15-20 minutes into the Old Town. There... More
