Great location, excellent value for money.

Good location for travellers as the hotel is close to where the tourist buses depart and close to the main train station
Pros:

The location was close to the main train station and the lake.

Cons:

The location of the hotel is not in the best part of Geneva.. it is on the opposite side to the old town and main shopping area. I didn’t feel safe walking the streets around this property at night.

Extremely hot room, No Room Services choices, Un-Clean Balconies.
Pros:

There are plenty of restaurants around the Hotel to choose from.

Cons:

The Room's Air Conditioner does cool the room at all, I kept waking up every night because of the heat, never had a good night sleep.
The Room service is extremely limited, there is only 4 items available 24/7, and none of them is what I wanted, The breakfast sometime comes exposed without cover, the hot chocolate comes cold, you don't get your room service food on a trolly table, and you only have 1 table in the room, it was not good.
The Balcony had spider webs all over the place, it was barely clean.
I have complained about the AC several times, but, it is no use, since I only used the room when I am back at night, and too tired, and had to suffer the heat.
I get much better hotel room for the same price in similar Novotel hotel anywhere else.
