“Very comfortable and centrally located true 4* hotel in Geneva!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

We were very pleased with the location, modern, spacious and clean rooms. Reasonably good value for Geneva!
Our only issue was with noisy housekeeping activity starting early mornings! Windows were very well sound proofed.

“Elegant Hotel with Exceptional Service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 19, 2012

Most hotels in Geneva offer excellent service but even so the Bristol stands out.

I have always favored the Warwick Hotel due to its great location but after not being able to get rooms there on my last trip it may be time to rethink.
Our handler recommended The Bristol and even though I was a bit skeptical at first, this quickly changed once I arrived at the hotel.

Location wise, the Bristol sits across from the Four Seasons Hotel and convenient to both the station and the old town.

While a bit smaller than the Warwick, the rooms are more elegant and the views a lot nicer - the rear part of the hotel has the view of the courtyard while the front faces the Rue du Mont Blanc. Additionally given that there is maid service twice a day, they are much cleaner and better appointed.
The breakfast room and the bar areas are also nicer both are more elegant and cozy at the same time.
The spa offers a sauna, steam room, a whirlpool and a work out room, all items that are lacking at the Warwick.

No doubt I have found a new favorite abode when in Geneva.

“Adequate hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 12, 2012

The Bristol is not in the top rank of Geneva hotels, where the best are some of the best (and the priciest) in the world, but it's perfectly OK. I was there on business. It's not a particularly large hotel a bit set back from the lake. The lobby was quiet when I checked in. Room rather small with no view at all, but very clean and well fitted out. Having lived and travelled a lot in East Asia, I was pleased to note that there was a Japanese style bidet WC in the bathroom - not a very high tech one admittedly, but a nice touch and not something you see that often in Europe. Wifi included in the room price which is good. I ordered a simple room service meal which was very nice but extremely expensive for what is was. But that's Geneva for you I suppose.

“Centrally located”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

The hotel is centrally located; journey from the airport to the city centre took only ten minutes, and then another ten minutes to walk from the train station to the hotel. The old town is just a bridge away from the hotel, and offers a great walk.

Just five minutes away is the famous Jet and lake, with views "to-die for". Only issue was that we got a room with a courtyard view, but service was very good. The amenities were also thoughtful, with even an umbrella in the room for those of us who travel without one.

Overall, value for money, and definitely a place I would stay again in Geneva.
