Hotel dengan Bar di Vernier

I frequently visit Geneva, and usually stay around the Cornavin Station. This time I booked a room in the Novotel Suites as I found a good online deal, and was more than pleasantly surprised. - Location: a bit outside the city center, between the airport and the center, but easy to be reached by bus. Coming from the airport, you take Bus 10, and get off at the Balexert stop. The hotel is at 50m. Similarly, bus 10 brings you to the city center (10min). Across the street is a shopping center (Balexert) with shops, restaurants, cinemas. - The Hotel: It is a 4 star property (It shares the building with Ibis), but it is not ”overly luxurious”. But everything works well, and is solid swiss quality. There is a restaurant (Swiss cuisine) in the building, and a parking. There is a nice terrace in the back to have a drink when the weather is good. Staff are very friendly. Free copy of the New York Times and the China Daily. (I did not have breakfast). As with all hotels in Geneva, you get a free card to ride public transport. - The Room: very comfy bed, good WIFI, all clean and well organized. But the most impressive is the size of the room: it is at least double the size of a standard room in Geneva. My room had besides a double bed, another single bed (hence 3 people could easily fit), a large table with two chairs, a microwave, mini fridge, water heater. Of course en suite bathroom. And AC, which is rare in Europe. Curtains kept the light out very well. Only drawback: you could not open the windows. - In summary: an excellent choice, especially if you want a larger-than-usual room, want airconditioning, need a parking and/or are travelling with several people who want to share a room.

Lovely hotel with amazing service. Helped microwave our food and gave us info on what to do in Geneva and how to access the city. Cleaned and very good location. 4 mins walk to the tram which you can connect the rest of the city from. And the views of my hotel room. Oh my God. Really lovely place. The WiFi was good but could do better.

We stayed as a family in a top floor corner suite. We had excellent views of the snow falling on Avanchet and across to the airport. The hotel is very well equipped for an extended stay with the suite having a dishwasher, washing machine, refrigerator and coffee maker. The suites are well designed with good lighting and heating control and effective black out curtains. Downstairs there is a well equipped gym with Technogym gym machines and free weights. We didn’t try the sauna, but it looked well set up. The hotel provides breakfast and has supplies of provisions like pasta sauces and wines to make in your own room, should you choose. The hotel provides a voucher for free and easy travel on the tram which can take you into the city and with connections, anywhere in Europe. The best feature by far was the helpful staff, all with a friendly and helpful service attitude. Especially helpful was Maria in housekeeping and Christeen (from Tahiti) on the front desk.

Struttura situata a circa sette minuti di taxi dall’aeroporto e fuori dal centro comunque facilmente raggiungibile con i tram 14 e 18 che si prendono entrambi a 50 metri dall’hotel e con solo 15 minuti ti portano in pieno centro fermata Bel Air da dove si è già ai piedi del centro storico e sul lago. La struttura si presenta rinnovata da ristrutturazione ma ritengo molto disorganizzata e certamente da migliorare su tanti aspetti. Le camere sono più che comode con letto matrimoniale king size purtroppo non sistemato all’italiana ma con i piumini a sacco. Bagno comodo con ampia doccia dove ovviamente è assente il bidet, mancano inoltre le ciabatte che per un 4 stelle è grossa pecca e nel frigo non ci sono bevande se non una bottiglia d’acqua che fanno trovare sul tavolo all’arrivo. Purtroppo lascia a desiderare la pulizia ed ancor peggio il secondo giorno non avevano neppure fatto la stanza per poi pulirla (in 10 minuti!!!) su ns richiesta intorno alle 18,00 e lascio spazio all’immaginazione sul livello della pulizia effettuata. Colazione sia di dolce che salato accettabile e con svariate proposte. Personale più che disponibile sia alla reception dove all’arrivo abbiamo trovato un ragazzo che parlava pure italiano molto propenso a dare info, simpatici e disponibili anche in sala colazione. Check In e Check out troppo lenti e seppur con poche persone in attesa questo dovuto dalla presenza di un solo operatore, situazione che abbiamo notato anche nei gironi del ns soggiorno. Ritengo comunque sia una buona soluzione per chi vuole spendere parecchio in meno rispetto alle strutture in pieno centro anche per il semplice e veloce collegamento con il tram quest’ultimo come i bus si possono utilizzare totalmente gratuiti facendosi consegnare i biglietti alla reception che valgono per tutto il Vs soggiorno.
