Good location near Geneva Lake and from the airport. Train station and public transport very accessible. Room size adequate though bathroom configuration is a little strange. If you are driving, be aware the basement garage access is extremely tight and if you have a big car, good luck not getting it damage, like I did. Breakfast is good too. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, though it was on the high $ side. But all of Switzerland is $$ side.
Response from Property: Dear Christopher, Thank you for taking the time to share your review.We are delighted that you appreciated the convenient location of our hotel, the adequacy of our room sizes, and our breakfast offerings. It is always our aim to provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience for our guests, and we're glad these aspects contributed positively to your stay.However, we regret to hear about the difficulties you encountered with our parking facilities. Our parking is designed to accommodate vehicles up to 1.7m high, and while we ensure the security and accessibility with an elevator connecting the parking to the lobby, we understand that navigating the space can be challenging for larger vehicles. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Regarding the overall value, we acknowledge that Switzerland can be on the higher side in terms of expenses, and we strive to keep our prices competitive while offering a range of amenities and services to enhance our guests' experience.Nonetheless, we are pleased that you found the accessibility to public transport and proximity to the airport beneficial during your stay. With our prime location in the heart of Geneva and near Lake Léman, we hope that our guests can enjoy the best of the city's offerings, including restaurants, bars, and shops, as well as the convenience of being close to major transport hubs.We hope we will have the opportunity to see you again in the future. Best regards,Nicolas GoureauGeneral Manager

Staffs were very rude. Don’t know the meaning of hospitality at all. Location was good, and rooms were average as per the price we paid for.

I had a wonderful stay at Novotel Genève Centre. The location is excellent, just a short walk from Lake Geneva and the city center. The room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped. The staff was friendly and professional, and the breakfast was diverse and delicious. A perfect choice for a comfortable stay in Geneva!

When we checked in we asked whether, after we check out, we could leave our luggage with them since we didn't want to carry many luggage to Paris and the answer from the front lady with her careless eye was "NO, because we didn't have enough space". We were very sorry with the answer and hopelessly thought how we could deal with the problem. Luckily, on the day we checked out we met another front lady who was very kind and agreed to keep our luggage but we need to pay some charge. The room was ok except the toilet which were flooded all the time when we took a bath during our stay. We probably don't want to stay here again unless we have no choice.
Response from Property: Dear Guest, Thanks for your review about our hotel.We regret to hear about the inconveniences you faced during your stay regarding the luggage storage service and the bathroom situation. Our aim is to provide a seamless and comfortable experience for all our guests, and it is evident that we fell short in your case. We understand the importance of storing luggage for our guests' convenience, especially when traveling further, and we usually offer this service free of charge. Furthermore, our maintenance team is on hand to resolve any issues promptly, such as the unfortunate flooding in your bathroom, to ensure our guests can enjoy their stay to the fullest.While we understand that this experience may have affected your view of our hotel, we hope you were able to appreciate our central location, which is within walking distance to many of Geneva's attractions, including the beautiful Lake Geneva, and the convenience of public transport readily available for our guests.We are hoping to welcome you back in the future. All the best.Gregory Viandaz Operations Manager

The hotel is about 10-15 min walk from the train station. There are many eateries in the area but also many bars and a nightclub. The old town and the main shopping street is also within walkable distance. The room is small for my family of 3 adults but fortunately we stayed only for 2 nights. The good thing is the toilet is separated from the bathroom (but there is no washing basin in it to wash your hand), also there are separate shower cubicle and bath - I always prefer a shower cubicle to a bath, for safety reason since I am a senior citizen.

Novotel provides all you need: reasonable cleanliness, good shower, hair dryer and boiler for water, which are not a must in many Swiss hotels. The breakfast is beyond expectation. Check in staff and breakfast staff are friendly. For one reason I may not return to this Novotel is its location on the red light street. First night at 7 pm, there were a few female sex workers who we got passed. Second night at 7pm when we back hotel, there were a few individual males standing at street corners, which did scare us given the neighborhood was already quiet. So if you come in a group to stay in this hotel, safety should not be a big problem and it is good value for money.
