I had a mixed experience at the Novotel Geneve Centre. The location is convenient for accessing the train station and local restaurants, and I found the staff to be friendly and helpful. However, the room was quite hot and the breakfast atmosphere was chaotic due to a visiting conference, which diminished my enjoyment. Overall, it had its pros and cons, making it a decent choice but not without issues.

I had a mixed experience at Novotel Geneve Centre. The hotel is located conveniently close to the train station and Lake Geneva, but I found the surrounding neighborhood a bit unsettling, especially at night. My room was spacious and well-maintained, although I encountered some issues with room service and the overall dining experience which left room for improvement.

Rooms

The staff were super friendly and tried to be helpful, but the location felt sketchy, and the facilities didn’t quite live up to expectations. While my room was spacious and mostly clean, I struggled with noise and some outdated features. Overall, it wasn't the four-star experience I hoped for.
