Geneva Hotels with Balcony

The hotel service was excellent, and they even had a French receptionist who spoke fluent Chinese, having lived in China for many years. It felt like the front desk was very friendly towards Chinese guests. The hotel also provides an electronic public transportation pass, allowing free use of the metro, buses, boats, and inner-city trains. It's super convenient to explore Geneva with just one ticket, and the bus stop is right outside the hotel, with direct routes to the city center.

Location: 15-20 minutes walk from the train station, about 10 minutes walk from the Palais des Nations. The nearby streets are relatively clean, and although it is on the street, it is generally quiet. Facilities: The hotel as a whole looks old-fashioned, and the room door key is also traditional, and you have to manually lock the door when entering and exiting. The internal facilities of the room should be relatively new and renovated, and the washbasin is a bit small. The windows can be opened for ventilation. There is no kettle in the room, and the mini bar needs to be paid for separately. Breakfast service: The breakfast is relatively simple, with freshly ground coffee. The staff is also quite enthusiastic.

Located conveniently near the airport and at the terminal of 2 bus lines, this hotel is clean, comfortable and spacious. There are grocery stores nearby, and a bar and restaurant at the ground floor. The gym and the laundry room are must-haves for business travelers. The abundance of chairs and sofas on the ground floor are great for hanging out and entertaining visitors.

Pros: 1. The hotel rooms are spacious and clean, and are tidied daily with a complimentary bottle of water provided. 2. My three-night stay was very comfortable; I was barely disturbed by any noise from other rooms. Cons: 1. I booked this hotel because I had to wake up early for the train station for two days, and it's close by. However, I didn't expect the surrounding area to be so chaotic, making early morning trips to the station feel a bit unsafe. It would have been better to stay in the city center and not take the early train. 2. The front desk staff seemed a bit discriminatory. The male staff member who checked me in didn't have me sign anything (whereas other guests were using an iPad to register). I was given a room behind a security door, around a corner, facing a row of machines. Later, I spoke to a female staff member, and after a long discussion, she agreed to move me for the rest of my stay. However, it wasn't the room type I booked and it didn't have a bathtub, which I also reported to the platform. At first, I didn't think much of not having a bathtub, but the shower had no door, so water flooded the bathroom, and there was no drain. It could only air dry, which made me realize why they were so willing to move me. There was a subtle reluctance to accommodate guests, which was quite frustrating.

The hotel's location is truly unbeatable. It's just a 15-minute drive from the airport, directly across from a Coop supermarket, and right next to a light rail station, making getting around incredibly convenient. They even thoughtfully provide a Swiss transport card, which saves a lot on sightseeing around the city. The room was clean and comfortable, and despite facing the main street, the window insulation was excellent, ensuring a great night's sleep. The downsides are that the elevator is a bit narrow, so with large luggage, you can probably only fit two people. Also, to get to the elevators on the first floor from the check-in lobby on the ground floor, you have to go up a few stairs, meaning you have to carry your luggage yourself, which is a peculiar design. Furthermore, with many guests, rooms aren't available until 3 PM, so if you arrive early, you'll have to wait in the lobby. Breakfast is classic European style; there aren't many hot dishes, but the cold cuts selection is abundant, including smoked salmon and air-dried beef. They even offer strawberries and kiwi for fruit, which was a pleasant surprise. Overall, it's a good place.

This hotel, Aparthotel Adagio Genève Mont-Blanc, is about a 10-minute walk from Geneva Central Station and easy to find. It's also just a 10-minute stroll to the lake to see the Jet d'Eau. The Geneva long-distance bus station is right next door, making it super convenient for trips to Chamonix and Annecy. The rooms are quite spacious, featuring a separate kitchen fully equipped with a fridge, microwave, kettle, induction hob, and all the pots and pans you need for cooking your own meals. While the breakfast selection isn't huge, they have a DIY fresh orange juice machine, which is a definite plus!

I was disappointed with my stay at this hotel. They never replied to my emails, which made communication frustrating. Parking was a real problem — their own lot was full, and I had to figure out on my own where the nearest parking was, driving around in circles twice before finding a spot. The room was in poor condition and the pillows were terrible. On the positive side, the location is very convenient and the staff were polite and friendly. Unfortunately, the issues with parking, the room, and lack of communication made the overall experience far from comfortable.

Although the location is very central, the entrance is very unattractive and located inside a sketchy passage. There aren't even clear signs on the street. Unfortunately most of the rooms face a narrow courtyard with with windows on the opposite site, so you have to keep the curtain and window blinds closed all the time or otherwise people will look inside. The interior reminded me of a love hotel with exposed showers and reflective decorations. It didn't feel very cozy. The staff was friendly but not very welcoming. Check-in has to be done yourself and the staff doesn't explain anything on their own volition. For example they didn't even tell me there was free tea and coffee on each floor, nor did they tell me the checkout time.

Not far from the lake promenade and the city center with its railway & bus station, this hostel had great location. Even after having breakfast (which was included in price and really nice) I could go for a quick walk near the lake and enjoy my morning. Room was fine, could use some more place to put my things, otherwise it was okay. No issues with charging ports there, had lots of them near each bed. Lockers just outside the room were very convenient and had a lot of space. Bathrooms were great, loved the benches and everything, toilet doors though could use a bit of repair as it was rather difficult to close them.

This hotel has an excellent location, just steps away from the lake and the Jet de Genève. Rooms are old and small but clean. Staff was friendly.
