I enjoyed my stay at the Novotel Geneve Centre, especially the fantastic location near Lake Geneva and other attractions. The staff were generally friendly and helpful, although my encounter with reception was frustrating at times.

I really appreciated the Novotel's excellent location near the lake and train station, making my stay convenient for exploring Geneva. The room was comfortable and clean, although I did have a couple of minor issues with the bathroom setup. The breakfast had a good variety, but I think it could improve by offering more options for those with dietary restrictions.
