Novotel Geneve Centre
"Clean and tidy but not as modern and fresh as other Novotels like York UK, Berlin Germany or Vienna Austria. (Balconies are a little tired and bathrooms not as modern) Pillows are uncomfortable as one square and one rectangular. Great location and easy access to Lake and public transport."

"Three night stay for family of four in connecting rooms. Gift and note from the hotel on birthday during stay was a nice and thoughtful touch. Great location for local transport links into the centre and old town. Short walk to lake, swimming area and water bus stops."
