...Sincere and heartfelt hospitality, uncompromisingly high product and service quality as well as excellent levels of staff training and team motivation crowned with that special Swiss touch make the difference. ***Our Experience*** I was incredibly excited to be staying in a five star hotel but was initially disappointed when we pulled into the underground carpark which is very bland, narrow and shared by all the other buildings on the same site ...

Review of Mövenpick Hotel & Casino Geneva, Geneva

Not a five star hotel

Advantages: Close to the airport and convention centre
Disadvantages: Room is basic, about a 10 minute trip to the centre of Geneva

My husband and I spent three nights at this hotel recently. We selected it as it was advertised as a five star hotel on the last minute website at a cost of £90 per night (the advertised rack rate is CHF650 or approx £263). This was room only, breakfast was available at an additional 34F. Location The hotel is located very close to the Geneva airport. Nearby is the convention centre, as well as an automotive museum. The hotel is located off a busy ...
...the airport, however, the hotel runs a regular shuttle bus service (approx every twenty minutes). The shuttle bus-stop is clearly marked, outside the ground floor of the hotel. First impressions Part of the hotel has recently been upgraded. As you enter the lobby, you can see a pond and garden outside. The new wing of the hotel is to the left, the old wing to the right. Booking in This took some time, as there were several people on our flight ...

Review of Crowne Plaza Geneva

Un Comedie d'erreurs

Advantages: Location is fairly central, staff are attentive to requests
Disadvantages: No restaurant, basic room facilities, housekeeping could be improved

Hotel Comedie is a three star property in Geneve's City Centre, on the busy Rue de Carouge. It was business, rather than pleasure that took me there for my recent one month stay. The actual purpose of my trip was also hotel related, in that I was working with a project team on a system roll out for one of the most luxurious brands in the world. Unfortunately, at the time of my arrival they did not have a hotel in Geneve City..and they always book ...
...ok. Arriving at the hotel by taxi is actually a challenge in itself. The two-way tram runs directly in front of the hotel, meaning the cars can only park on the opposite side of the road. So on my own, I had to lug a large suit carrier, sports bag, and laptop bag several metres down and across the road, dodging trams as I went. That enough would put me off a return visit! The Reception of the hotel is very small, and is nothing special to look ...

Review of Hotel Comedie, Geneva

Functional but could be anywhere.

Advantages: city centre
Disadvantages: impersonal

We've just got home from a week travelling across Switzerland by train. Our first night was in Geneva at this hotel. It was quite easy to find from the railway station - we used the map from the website, and also noticed one or two signposts along the way. I think the walk took about five minutes. The hotel is in a slightly run down area of the city. There was a cafe across the road, and a chinese restaurant next door. Next door but one was a karaoke ...
...Breakfast was not included in the price we paid, CHF 134 for a double room, as we felt that an extra CHF 14 (about £6.50) each for a cold buffet was expensive. The room was alright, nothing special. It had two single beds pushed together, and a small ensuite shower room. It was all clean. As we only stayed one night I couldn't say how often towels and bedding are changed. We were able to borrow a hairdryer from reception, and shower gels, soaps ...

Review of Ibis Geneve Centre Gare, Geneve

Do not believe everything you read...

Advantages: In Geneva - quite good location - clean
Disadvantages: Expensive

...the time to book a hotel and we got this one cheaper than most-although it was pretty basic for the price but you must consider the price of everything in Switzerland as it is soooooooo expensive. We stayed from Friday until Monday and it was about £250 for the hotel bed and breakfast basis, which in my opinion is too much. Our first impression was 'oh my goodness, we paid £250 to stay here!' Our room was okay and had a bathroom with bath and toilet ...
...we could eat in the hotel we were told to go to the end of the street - it was this crappy looking cafe and we actually surprised ourselves when we had a lovely meal there for about £30 with wine and drinks and two courses each! '...bars and pubs all lie within 100m from the hotel...' - yea right! one irish bar within that distance and rest were alot further and did not look too appealing - a mcdonalds milkshake looked far better! '...500m away ...
