Jill Friends - 23/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Stayed 2 nights. Lockdown in France had just started and the hotel was very under utilsed. The hotel was close to the train station. I felt uncomfortable walking to the hotel in the evening past cafes where people were sitting and staring at us.

Dear Jill, We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Novotel Genève Centre. It is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback. I will share your comments with our team. Do not hesitate to go on the right from the hotel exit to enjoy a quiet walk. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope your next visit will be as pleasant as the previous one. Sincerely, Gregory Viandaz Room Division Manager

Well located but noisy

Helene Couples - 08/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Stayed two nights, heard noise late outside every day.

Dear Helene, Thank you for your comment. We are delighted to know that you overall enjoyed your stay with us. Regarding the noise, it is true that the street side is noisier, next time to avoid it, do not hesitate to request a room on the courtyard side - you can do this in advance by writing a note on your reservation. We will do our best to accommodate your request! We appreciate your feedback, and we hope to see you again soon! Sincerely, Flavie (Front Office) P.O. Nicolas Goureau, General Manager

Okay

Carlina Business - 06/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

The stay was okay, but it was only for one night and I had no breakfast and no dinner in the hotel. Room was stuffy and smelled severely of men's parfum. Bed was good, as was shower and toilet. The gym is not equipped very well, no kettlebells, just one gym mat. But doable for one time.

Dear Carlina, We are glad to read, that despite some issues you've had a nice stay at Novotel Geneva Center. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We hope to welcome you back very soon. Kind regards, Luba (Front Office) P.O. Nicolas Goureau, General Manager

Disappointed

Anonymous Business - 27/02/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Twice I reported that the room was too hot, that the thermostat did not seem to be working but nothing was done. The refrigerator was not working. Also, when i called for Room Service, I was told that the kitchen was only open at 7pm but the Room Service menu in the room said otherwise.

Dear Madam, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your stay at the Novotel Genève Centre. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies for all the issues you met during your stay. The mini-bar in the room does not work as a refrigerator, it keeps just slightly cool temperature for drinks. If you want to put some food in a real fridge, we’ve got one at the reception, next time do not hesitate to ask for it. We do have 24/24 hours of room-service, but when the kitchen is closed not all the dishes are available, so, we propose a reduced menu only, that is written on the room-service the room-service pamphlet (I've just checked it myself). Anyway I'm so sorry that it impacted your perception. Once again we appreciate your sharing your concerns, and it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future. Sincerely, Luba (Front Office) P.O. Nicolas Goureau, General Manager

Dear Karine, We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Novotel Genève Centre. It is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback. However, we really apologize for the cigarettes smell: that’s really exceptional, because all our rooms are non-smoking and the clients who don’t respect this rule are penalized with additional charge. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope your next visit will be as pleasant as the previous one. Best regards, Luba (Front Office) P.O. Nicolas Goureau, General Manager

Rachel, M. Families - 24/02/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

It was our first time in Geneva and the staff at the Novotel Centre were very informative and helpful. We had two rooms since we were a family of five and they were able to accommodate our request of connecting rooms which made it easy. Breakfast in the AM was never crowded and they only charged for adults. The hotel is only a few blocks from the lake, making it an easy walk for sightseeing. Great family hotel.

Dear Madam, Thank you very much for your beautiful review! It is a real pleasure to know that you and your family have enjoyed your stay with us, and also our friendly staff! We work harder every day to make everyone feel home and comfortable. We hope to see you again very soon. Kind regards, Luba (Front Office) P.O. Nicolas Goureau, General Manager

Wonderful Holiday Experience

izemosa 20/02/2020 TripAdvisor review

I can say the five days stay in this hotel with my family remains a memorable experience that will never go away quickly. The staffs were wonderful and so was the food, the double family rooms we stayed and the neatness of the hotel. The only concern I have not just for Accor Hotels only but for other hotels, is to create single rooms for a family of five, vis, father, mother and their three kids at anytime. Otherwise, our experience was wonderful.

Dear izemosa, Thank you for sharing your experience. We are really happy to see your experience has been wonderful. We hope to welcome you soon. Kind regards, Gregory V

NIce hotel terrible location

Luke Business - 19/02/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Comfortable bed, charming staff, location is pretty poor (in the middle of the red light district) although convenient for station

Dear Luke, Thank you very much for your feedback and for your remarks. It is a real pleasure to know that you found our beds comfortable and our staff charming. It is true that our hotel is situated in the center of Geneva not far from to the area of "red light" district - the same as you can find in the majority of big cities all over the world (Paris, Amsterdam, etc.) There is no problem with security, but it is a particular atmosphere of the night life, that some clients like very much and others don't. However, if you want to avoid this street, it is easy just turn right after the hotel exit and you will be in a way more quiet and calm area. Sincerely, Flavie (Front Office) P.O. Nicolas Goureau, General Manager
