Only stayed for one night as I was in Geneva for a conference, but it was ideal for location to the bus stops for the airport, and convenient for the city. My room was very spacious with a very nice quality bathroom. Continental breakfast was good, with very good croissants! Overall very happy. Of course was very pricey but then... More

This hotel was located in a very good position. Just around the corner from buses and trams. A short walk to the lake and the old town. The room was small and plain but clean and had all the things that were needed. The room was at the back of the hotel so quiet but not much of a view.... More

This small hotel is a walkable few blocks from the train station. Near many serviceable restaurants. The rooms are very small, but clean. Noise from the bar next door and the street traffic can be a bother, even on the top floor. And the room I had was overheated, remedied with leaving the window open in winter. But if you... More

The hotel is in a great location, not far from the main train station and close to the centre of town. The single room was quite small and simple but perfectly adequate. The breakfast was your standard continental variety.

The hotel is right in the city center and at walking distance to restaurants and facilities of all kind. Mmajor hotel like Four Seasons and Hotel De La Paix are no further than 500 mt as well as the famous Lipp Restaurant. It is a safe area also for women who travel alone. The room was not big but it...

Given it was the Watch Maker's Convention, my usual hotel in Geneva was fully booked. Managed to get a room here, pricey for sure, but it is Geneva after all!! My 5th floor room was clean and the bed comfy (Single in a Double room). There was no mechanism to control the room temperature which was pretty hot, so resorted... More

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the hotel. I had a 3rd-floor room that's facing a court yard. The room was clean and extremely quiet. The bathroom was small, but it had every amenity I needed. The room was a bit overheated, but that wasn't a real problem. The self-service breakfast was very good, including hot sausage, bean,...

As previous reviews have highlighted, this hotel is in a great location, really handy for the station and for getting to all of Geneva's main attractions. My single room was simply furnished and spotlessly clean (if a little warm). Biggest issue though was the noise! Try and get a room away from the lifts and the front of the hotel,... More

I really enjoyed my stay in this hotel. The location is in a wonderful location and walking distance to the train station, the lake, the Old town and has a mall across the road. Although the rooms weren't big, they were comfortable and clean. I would recommend this.

All that is Hotel Excelsior Geneva..and more. The Manor... More
