Review of the Bristol Hotel in Geneva # Stay We visited the Bristol Hotel in Geneva as a couple during the Whitsun weekend and spent a total of three days there. # Location The hotel is centrally located, just a few seconds from the lake and right by the Jet d'eau. The pier for boat tours is also in the immediate vicinity. There are numerous excellent restaurants around the hotel. The main train station is a 10-minute walk away, 5 minutes by bus; stop right in front of the hotel. # Room and service/staff The room (standard double room, renovated) was a comfortable size with seating and a minibar. The bed was super comfortable with heavy pillows and a mattress that was neither too hard nor too soft, we slept wonderfully. The bathroom is equipped with a large rain shower and Molton Brown products. Bathroom and room very clean. The hotel placed great emphasis on service. The staff were consistently competent, friendly, helpful and prompt. We felt very well looked after. # Fitness and spa area The hotel's spa area has a whirlpool, a hammam (not a steam bath) and a sauna. However, there is no relaxation area, there are no loungers or similar places to relax, which significantly reduces the relaxation value. We found this to be a disadvantage, especially since the hotel is advertised as a wellness/spa hotel. The hotel's fitness area, on the other hand, is all the more spacious. It is surprisingly well equipped with a variety of equipment; I have never seen such equipment in any other hotel. # Breakfast The breakfast was of excellent quality, even if the selection was not very large. The bread selection lacks rolls, but does offer brioche. Egg dishes are prepared individually to order and served at no extra cost. The coffee machine offered delicious coffee in almost every imaginable variation. # Conclusion The Bristol Hotel in Geneva convinced us and enabled us to have a great stay. However, the Bristol Hotel would not be suitable for a wellness/spa weekend due to the lack of places to relax/unwind (e.g. for reading, dozing, etc.). However, if this is not your main priority, I can 100% recommend the Bristol Hotel.

We booked two ordinary apartments for this trip. At first, I hesitated between booking two independent apartments or two-bedroom apartments, but because of the price, I chose two independent rooms. It turned out that this was very cost-effective in the off-season. The hotel upgraded the room type for us and arranged the two ordinary apartments in a separate small unit, and one of them was upgraded to a deluxe room. The unit has its own door, and after locking it, it becomes an independent little world. The layout of the two rooms is the same; the difference is the size of the living room. If there are three or more people staying, it is more comfortable to choose a deluxe one-bedroom apartment. The apartment has a master bathroom next to the master bedroom, with a shower and bathtub, and a small bathroom in the living room, only a toilet and a washbasin. There is a sliding door between the living room and the master bedroom, which does not disturb each other after closing. The apartment has an oven with a microwave function. The apartment is equipped with an induction cooker and a dishwasher, and has basic kitchen utensils and tableware, which is very convenient for cooking by yourself. The apartment is very quiet. The deluxe room is not facing the street, so there is no noise at night. The ordinary apartment is facing the street, but the street is small and quiet, and there are basically no vehicles passing by. The transportation of the apartment is very convenient. Guests can contact the hotel by email before check-in to apply for the Geneva transportation card. With this card, you can take any public transportation in downtown Geneva for free. It takes one train stop and one bus stop from the airport. The apartment is only a few steps away from the bus station and very close to Lake Geneva. There are also many restaurants nearby. The hotel's own parking spaces are very tight, and there are no vacancies on the roadside. We parked in an underground parking space that comes with the hotel. It is very small and difficult to park. If the rental car is too large, it is not recommended to park in the hotel's own underground parking space, because it is not free and inconvenient to enter and exit. According to the hotel staff, it is a 5-minute walk from them. There are many public parking spaces in the fairmont parking lot, which may be easier to park. If I come to Geneva again next time and stay for more than two nights, I will choose this hotel apartment and live very comfortably.

The hotel is a very professional and a great week of empathy. My room at the eighth floor an impressive view of Geneva the water jet the Alps of pure happiness Cerise on the cake the rich and varied breakfast Swiss and high quality products and Bio I will quote Maylick and Noémie to the small care. I'm a custom of this hotel and I'll return to my next stay in Geneva. I recommend it very strongly.

The hotel is right across the street from the main train station, making it easy to find and a good location for connecting with trains, trams, and buses. It's not easy, however, to find reaonably-priced places to eat or shop nearby (but that's also a problem in much of Geneva). We ended up taking a (15-minute) bus journey to France to buy canned drinks and shelf-stable snacks, etc. The price difference was truly worth that short trip, especially if you are staying for more than a few days. Hotel staff were professional and the room was obviously newly renovated. Our room opened onto the street and was on a lower floor of the building. We were grateful for both the automated blackout blinds and the multi-pane windows, which kept out light and street noise really well. However, we did hear guests and ringing telephones from the room beside us. The room itself was way too small for two people if you are staying more than a night or two, and there is no workspace in the room. The 1x2 foot piece of shelf that might be used as a desk also housed a phone and a coffee maker. There was literally no other solid, flat surface where you could pull a up a chair and work at a laptop or even an iPad. We also had to pay extra for having a second person in the room but I was never asked if the original booking was for one or two people, so that was an expensive surprise. In addition, my partner was told that there was a quiet, secluded office space he could use for a work-related video call but when he went to make that call he was told he had to use a large, open lounge area instead and his call was repeatedly interupted by loud guests. The worst thing about our room, however, was the ants. We found multiple ants in the bathroom immediately upon entering and then again every morning. We stayed for almost a week and one morning we found many ants at the other end of the room, after a backpack was accidentally left on the floor overnight. At no time did we have any opened food or food scraps in the room. We didn't report this because we knew the hotel was at capacity and that without the queen we would be higly unlikely to be bringing viable ants home with us. So we just kept killing the ones we saw and kept our belongings off the floor. I had read other reviews of this hotel before we arrived and was concerned by reports of theft. We didn't see any reason for security concerns but did think it was odd that there was no secondary privacy latch in the room. And finally, we were told that everything in the mini-bar was free to us to consume. There was exactly one bottle of beer and a very low quality piece of chocolate in that mini-bar, so it seemed a bit odd to be told about this ”convenience” when it was so minor in quantity or quality. We did appreciate having bottled water and coffee refreshed daily, however.

The hotel was chosen because we needed a garage, because we were in car and it was the best hotel we could get near the center. The room was very large for triple suit, and breakfast was very good, and it also had a good bar service. We had a problem with our room because it was morning for trucks on the street and they make a huge load and discharge noise. Then I suggest room not to be returned to the rue du Monthoux, which has drawn attention to the good hotel management by Mr Nicolas Goureau, General Manager, who always worried that you had a good stay.

Staying here 3 nights, we were comfortable in a clean environment with friendly front desk staff. Its location is off the touristic area, near a school. It is a small hotel with an attractive lobby. We were in #206, a standard double, with no view, large comfortable bed, good water pressure and good A/C, CNN-TV. Somewhat objectable is the adjacent school and park one block away. It is slightly intimidating to pass through because of the immigrant loiterers that were never threatening but everpresent. Most of the restos we patronized meant passing through thiis park. What a blessing to have a public laundramat three doors from the hotel. At the halfway point of the trip, I try to wash my clothes to minimize the clothes to pack. One morning when our driver Alex was having problems with his minivan battery (he drained it by leaving the signal blinker on all night), we easily walked 15 min to Lake Geneva. We went on a 1H boat ride and saw the Jet d'Eau. Yes, please consider this off-site hotel for your next stay in Geneva.

My son and i stayed here for the Geneva marathon. Our flight got in early but the reception staff were very happy to store our luggage until check-in time. Hotel is very well placed, trams go pass, the train station (8 mins to the airport) is a 5 minute walk and 10 mins to the lake. We had a room at the back, yes the train line!, however we discovered that closing the substantial curtains reduced the unseasonal heat, and closing the window meant a good nights sleep. The double glazing is substantial! Best pillows and mattress ever, followed by a really good and varied breakfast (including hot rice for the runners). All of the staff were very helpful and cheerful. A delightful, convenient hotel and highly recommended. You will get a Geneva Travel Pass too!

Great spot, found it ok. Friendly staff, English spoken if required. The room was good, clean and plenty of space.

Jade Manotel Hotel: Geneva, Switzerland I stayed in the Executive Family Suite for two nights on 06Oct 2023 - 08 Oct 2023. We booked two rooms. I would give the hotel 10/10. Customer service was excellent. Very helpful to advise us on where to go and what to do. Love it and would visit again. Before arrival I got an email from Geneva Tourism with my transport card. I was able to book 8 cards as we were 8 people. It was very easy, We were greeted by a really friendly host. We arrived late night and the host made to ask if the children ate, he recommended places to go. He checked us in very easily and we went to our rooms. The rooms were clean and to a high standard. Breakfast was fantastic, coffee was great, great selection. Nice cheese selection too. The garden was a lovely place of tranquility in the middle of the city. The ambience of the hotel was very calm and tranquil. The location was central and easy to access everything. Top of the street you get the tram direct to the UN. The opposite side you get the tram to the Geneva train station. Walk down and 5 mins and you’re at the Lake Leman. My children were being a little bit noisy so the neighbours complained about them but the hotel staff were very kind in the way they asked us to keep the noise down. Wonderful hotel. Recommend it to anyone and only place I will choose to stay at if I visit Geneva again. Thank you Jade Manotel.

A lovely hotel. Our room was a standard double and very modern and clean Plenty of room for us. Shower was lovely. Air con in the room. Had everything we needed. Mini fridge wasn’t very cold. Hotel it’s self was lovely to look at and all staff were friendly and helpful. My only negative was the restaurant/ bar/ foyer were hot so possibly not air conditioned We ate one night there and thought it was reasonable priced and food was delicious. Bar atmosphere in the evening was nice and chilled too. A great place to base ourselves, we didn’t mind having to walk into town a bit. Free local travel for all people who stay, so we got the train to airport which was super easy! 15% off card in restaurant too!
