“5 Minutes from Airport - not good if you are 'Dog Tired'!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

On a business trip, we picked this hotel for its proximity to the airport, and it appeared the rooms were very roomy and business friendly.

We had 3 rooms on one reservation, and that seemed to cause a big slowdown in the checking process. The lady was friendly but the system was very slow.

2 of the rooms were adjacent, and we opened the room doors at the same time. BOTH rooms had an unpleasant odor, a little like a 'wet dog' smell. We left the bags in the rooms and went back to the front desk. The same lady offered us keys to two other rooms on the same floor. We checked those rooms and found them no better than the first two rooms. As we went back to return the keys, a lady came out of a room across the hall with a dog on a leash, and the pieces of the puzzle fell into place. We returned the keys to the front desk and there was a different lady there, and she told us that dogs are allowed in the hotel, but they had not had dogs there in a long time.... very curious that she should make that claim, since we had seen the dog 1 minute prior!
Anyway, we decided to stay, rather than trying to change hotels late in the evening.

The rooms were very large, and otherwise clean. there was a large desk/table which was conducive to working. The Toilet and bathroom were in separate rooms, which was nice, but into both rooms was a step up from the main room, and it felt like the floors were plastic and not very strong.
The bathroom was fine, with a nice shower and plenty of space around the sink.
the bed was comfortable, but had a single sheet on the matress and a comforter without a second sheet. That is fine if the comforter is changed daily, but who knows??
The checkout process was smooth and the front desk staff ordered a taxi for a ride to the airport for a early morning flight.

Room Tip: If allergic to dogs, please pick a room in a different hotel.

“Lovely Stay With Great Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013

We stayed at this gorgeous hotel for two nights en route back home. We wanted somewhere close to the airport, and this was perfect. So close, in fact, that the first two taxi drivers refused to take us there. Eventually we convinced one!
Staff were friendly and spoke great English. The breakfast was in a comfy restaurant next door and had a small but good range of food. Our room was spacious and we loved the pull out bed! Sleeps were pleasant and beds were comfortable and the daily free bottle of water was an amazing money saving touch!
Geneva is an expensive city so the Suite Novotel turned out to be great value. They gave us a free transport card which was great. Bus number 10 takes you from the airport to the city and there is a stop right outside the hotel. There's also a large shopping centre right across the road, which was great.
The Suite Novotel is great for travellers who are not staying very long and will need to go to the airport. Also, don't take a taxi from the airport to the hotel. Take the number 10 bus, which is large and can easily fit your baggage. It's also usually quiet. Don't waste your money on taxi drivers who refuse to take you!
All in all, a great stay. Would definitely go back upon return to Geneva.

Room Tip: All rooms are pretty much the same - large, spacious and cosy.

“Great Comfort Great Space”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 9, 2013

What a great room. We have been traveling Europe for almost 2 weeks, and the last 24 hours were spent traveling by a cheap bus!, a train, and then a local bus from Prague. When we arrived here we were exhausted. The staff was wonderful, the room extremely spacious and comfortable.

A very roomy bathroom - the largest we had seen in Europe. Towels were large and soft, bath water hot, nice small fridge, great coffee maker and good internet. Everything we were looking for.

I was here for a 3 day conference. Right across the street was a nice indoor mall where my wife hung out and where we grabbed some meals. Good bus access to get downtown and to the airport.

Again, the staff was wonderful, especially with us only speaking English. Good value.

“Great deal for Switzerland.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 4, 2013

As I write this review we are going on our third of seven nights here at this hotel. We are expat Americans who have been living in the Canton of Geneva for a little over 2 years. Now in process of moving home and thus the reason for our stay. We currently have our teenager and little dog in the suite with us. The room is a decent size, nice shower, fridge, tea kettle an good English movie line up. Also the free wifi works well throughout the hotel. You can easily access the bus into town, #10, or walk thru the mall when open to catch #14 or #18 trams that also go into Geneva. You can also catch trams just down and to the left as you exit hotel. car park is easy to use and there is a sign before you go up the stairs to hotel that you pay at the desk. if you are flying into Geneva before you exit customs use the machine for a FREE 90 minute transportation pass to hotel. Once at hotel you get free city wide ticket for all of zone 10 for ALL public transportation. The Balexert mall right across from the hotel has a Migros and Denner for inexpensive grocery etc...items. Denner is where you can get wine, beer, etc... The mall has restaurants but closes except on Thursday at 7:00pm, restaurants by movie theatre open. Sundays all stores closed and many restaurants except those by train station or airport (Migros grocery open). Plan your Sundays well or go over to France! Annecy great option. The lobby of hotel is relaxing with a desktop computer if needed. EVERYONE is right in previous posts... Don't pay for the breakfast unless included in your rate/deal. Worst I have seen. BUT for free in the lobby they put out free coffee, tea, and excellent croissants and chocolate bread. Go that way. Staff has been excellent. They are Swiss so they are not going to bury you with information. Ask them detailed questions and they are very helpful. I gave 4 stars because of the breakfast. Oh, and you can get more than one room key/elevator key. Just ask. Room temp has been fine, not stuffy.

Room Tip: We like end room we have as no one next to us and great view of Jura as we walk to door.
