Hilton Noga Geneve, Geneva

Advantages: Good Location
Disadvantages: Outdated Decor

...With a brand name like Hilton,you expect every hotel under their chain in all corners of the world have exactly the same standard? Wrong! In a city like Geneva where UN, Red Cross and practically every single presitigous brand of luxury watches you can name have an office, every five star hotel must be stunning and glitzy? Wrong. Noga Hilton enjoys a good location right opposite to Jet d'eau. Right in front of the lake, very handy for cruises around Lake Geneva. There are 3 different restaurants plus the lobby bar and a Chinese restaurant inside. But the decor is pretty much outdated. Sort of sixties and seventies design. The front desk service are pretty much standard. During my first night I was allocated to a room with a balcony. The good thing is I can see Jet d'eau from my balcony. The bad thing is my room is very green... Read review

Advantages: Near France and Italy. Beautiful scenery.
Disadvantages: Similar prices to UK

...Introduction ~~~~~~~~ Geneva is located in the south-west part of Switzerland is very near to France. In fact part of Geneva airport is in France. If going on holiday to you means "cheap stuff" then Geneva and Switzerland in general for that matter is not your ideal holiday. Switzerland shares rip-off Britain prices and many things are more expensive there. The only thing that is cheaper there is petrol and fags. Scenery ~~~~~~~~~~ The scenery in Geneva is beautiful near the lake. From the lake you can see into the Alps and see the famous Lake Geneva fountain. At night Geneva is stunning, the fountain is lit up and all the posh offices have fancy lights. (Like the ones Harrods has) On top of all that you are only a 20 minute drive to the Alps where there is more breathtaking scenery. About Switzerland in General... Read review

Advantages: Lots to do, nice atmosphere
Disadvantages: Hotels are rather expensive

...My husband & I visited Geneva last month & loved it. It's just such a big city with so much to do. We went to the Reformation museum & Red Cross museum, but there are also art museums, a watch museum and others. Cathedral is worth a visit- we went to a concert in it which was a great experience. Also visited some sights to do with Jean Calvin the Christian reformer - such as the Reformation Wall. Went on a cruise on Lake Geneva which was lovely. Make sure you take a swimming cossie too cos at "Geneve Plage" there are outdoor pools and a section of the lake that you can swim in if you want. The tram is a good way to get around the city. A little further out are the alps which you can visit by coach. Hotels & restaurants can tend to be a bit pricey, but we stayed in "Hotel Central" which is reasonably priced and a nice hotel. Most locals... Read review
