3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2013 NEW

The location is perfect for the train station or city centre, yet off the main roads. The single room was a bit minimalistic given the price, and the breakfast place crowded with a average breakfast. Service was quite disappointing, both at check-in and breakfast, but fine at check-out. It always depends on the individuals you get, doesn't it.

We had several rooms booked thru an agency due to ongoing event in Geneva. They got us single rooms which were really single. Only a narrow bed in a small room. Everything was however very clean. The breakfast was not great, but a bit better than I expected. The location is good, very close to the railway station, maybe 300... More

I stayed here for 2 nights. The hotel is not bad - the room was clean, staff was nice, the breakfast is OK, Wi-Fi worked without problems. It was little bit noisy cos the window faced the street. The hotel is not cheap like everything in Switzerland ;)

Stayed at this hotel for business and I can't fault the staff or cleanliness of it. However the rooms are very small, noisy and the Wifi is very poor, even though the reception is good you get kicked off approximately every 5mins.

I visited here recently when at the motor show. The hotel was spotlessly clean and right in the centre of the city, which makes it ideal for exploring this small city. As others have said, the bus stop is around the corner and the main Geneva Cornavin railway station is an easy 5 minute walk away. The desk staff very... More

Recently spent three nights on business. Check-in was efficient. Was pleased to be given one of the corner rooms: positive = more space and larger bed; negative = spotty internet. Bathrooms are clean but small. Breakfast is fairly typical fare for Geneva (though I wonder why the hanging lights aren't re-positioned - at least six people bumped their heads). Conclusion:... More

For about $400 for 3 nights, Excelsior was an affordable and convenient place to stay. It's a 5 min walk from the Cornavin train station, 2 minutes from the bus station (which can get you to the airport for free using the handy pass that hotel provides), and right across the street from Manor department store which has a convenient...

Stayed only for a night, but found the room noisy with a poor internet connection. The minimum once wants to have for business trips are a clean and relatively quiet room and internet, together with minimum amenities. The price was clearly not too high for Geneva, but still expensive overall.

Terrific hotel for 4 nights and would stay in again. Rooms are small and somewhat spare (bring a travel clock or buy a watch!) but the bathroom was well appointed and with great water pressure for those who like hot showers. The courtyard-side room was very quiet with quaint view. Staff very helpful and breakfast was exceptional - although the... More
