I stayed at this hotel during my recent visit to geneva with my family. Being a novotel, i expected a good quality and accommodating hotel for our stay. Well, for the price i paid, the rooms were certainly large, much more so than what i've seen in usual european hotels. The bathrooms were also reasonably roomy. However, that is the... More

Novotel Geneve is not your typical business hotel, it actually has some personality and it is quite welcoming. I liked the design of the room and of the bathroom, it just had a good feel to it. I especially liked that the bed sheets had a little bit of color in them and made them more home-like than hotel-impersonal (don't... More

Can have absolutely no complaints about the hotel itself. Good, friendly and helpful staff, nice clean room, good breakfast. As other reviewers have commented though, it is situated in the red-light district. A bit intimidating I must admit. I'm not sure how commonplace it is but we saw some 'pimps' having a heated argument a few yards away from the... More

The hotel facilities are top notch, and it is only a few blocks from the main train station and the lake. There are many dining options within the surrounding blocks, and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The room was typical Novotel (same decor pretty much anywhere) - neat, clean and modern. The only complaint - and no fault... More

Have stayed here many times now and think that this is one of the better hotel's in Geneva. Rooms are very clean and tidy also large. Free wifi too which is a great extra. It is near the red light district but don't be put off by that.
