I had a decent stay at Novotel Geneve Centre, with a great location near restaurants and local attractions. The staff were friendly and welcoming, adding a nice touch to the experience. However, the room was quite basic and smaller than I'd hoped, and the kids’ sofa bed was really uncomfortable.

I enjoyed my stay at the Novotel Genève 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. The breakfast buffet had a decent variety, though I did experience a few service hiccups during my time there.

While the room was clean and comfortable, I felt the size was a bit smaller than expected for the price. I appreciated having complimentary items from the minibar upon arrival, but I encountered inconsistency with room cleanliness during my visit.

The overall service had its highs and lows. Although I found most of the staff friendly, one incident at the reception was particularly disappointing. The staff's communication could have been clearer, which led to confusion during my check-in.
Location

The hotel's location is unbeatable, just a short walk from restaurants, tram stops, and the famous lake. However, the area backing onto the red light district could feel a bit uneasy, though I didn’t have any issues while exploring.

Breakfast was a highlight with a good spread, though I found some items were occasionally unavailable. It’s nice that they were willing to accommodate our requests, even beyond normal hours.

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.

I enjoyed breakfast, particularly the sweet pastries, but found the hot options less appealing, especially the chicken sausages. It would be great if they offered more diverse choices for allergies.
