Top Downtown Geneva Hotel Reviews

Le Square

10/10 Excellent

"Très propre, chambre bien décorée et spacieuse."

Hotel N'vY

10/10 Excellent

"I recently stayed at the Hotel N’vY in Geneva during a business trip and had a truly enjoyable experience. The hotel offers excellent services, comfortable facilities, and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff was professional and attentive, which made my stay very pleasant. I’d especially like to highlight Katalina from the front desk team, whose exceptional customer service truly stood out. She was incredibly kind, friendly, professional, and always willing to help with a genuine smile. Her warm welcome and attentive demeanor made a huge difference in my experience. It’s always a pleasure to meet people who take such pride in providing excellent hospitality. A huge thank you to Katalina and the entire team at Hotel N’vY for their exceptional service. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Geneva, whether for business or pleasure. I’ve already made my next reservation for December!"

Hotel Kipling

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is a gentle 5-10mins walk from the station. Close enough that you do not need a taxi, but far enough that you do not get 'station crowds' or 'station noise'. The Reception staff are all multilingual, and very happy to help. There is a laundromat about 3mins walk from the hotel. Public transport is nearby, and the hotel participates in a programme whereby public transport is free for your time in Geneva. The breakfast was well priced, and abundant. The room I had was a good size, and well appointed. It was so very easy to get to the major tourist sights from the hotel. I would very happily stay there again."

Hôtel International & Terminus

10/10 Excellent

"Location is excellent, 5min walk from main train station. Staff, Maggie and Roger at reception were very friendly and helpful. Made us feel very welcome. Room was cosy and had a great view from the balcony. Plenty of space to move. Breakfast was ample and good variety of items Could walk to most attractions within the old town and general shopping areas. Would stay again if visiting Geneva."
