Hotels near Degree Passage, Geneva

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.

We stayed just to rest after our arrival at Geneva airport but it turned out to be the best hotel we stayed at during our 9 day visit to Switzerland. Outstanding location near train station (no need for car) and lots of restaurants in easy walking distance. Very friendly staff, especially at the breakfast buffet. Surprisingly quiet room for such a busy area in Geneva.

I stayed in this hotel for a 3 nights with my brother and our friend. It is I a great location with only 8-minute walk from train station, a grocery store across the street, surrounded by a variety of good restaurants, in a quiet side street, a 2-minute walk to Lake Geneva located behind hotel and a 15-minute walk to old town. Very good service - Reception gave us a free-transit pass (good for tram, train and water taxi) and stored our luggage so we can start our sightseeing until check-in time. Room is spacious and very clean. We had room on the 4th floor facing back which is very quiet. Swiss Tours (if you want to take a day trip - Annecy is very picturesque) is also only a 10-minute walk away. Take the route along the lake to go downtown or old town - Beautiful scenery. The only thing that can be an issue for some is the single tiny elevator for maximum of 4 people. With luggage, I would say about 2 people. The bathtub shower stall is also a bit small so this may be an issue for some people. But they are very minor to us. So for me and my travel group, it was an excellent stay. We would go back in this hotel again.

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!

Room is very spacious, bed and sofa bed are both very comfortable. I would definitely stay again.

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.

Very clean, modern, helpful stuff, everything is great and most of the restaurant is nearby. Strongly recommendation for everyone
