First trip to Geneva. Stayed at the Ambassador per the recommendation of a family member. Great place. Quiet and clean. The staff was very attentive. The hotel restaurant was closed, but who cares with sooooo many wonderful options available in the nearby old town. Would stay here again.

Unforgettable Stay at The Ambassador Hotel
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5 stars) I recently stayed at The Ambassador Hotel, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The service, attention to detail, and overall atmosphere were exceptional. Upon arrival, the staff was warm and friendly, ensuring a smooth check-in process. The room was clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated, providing a peaceful environment for a good night's sleep. The highlight of my stay was the outstanding dining experience at the hotel's restaurant. The menu offered a wide variety of delicious dishes, expertly prepared and served by knowledgeable staff. The hotel's central location was convenient for exploring the city's attractions, shopping, and public transportation. The amenities, including the fitness center and complimentary Wi-Fi, were excellent. In conclusion, I highly recommend The Ambassador Hotel. The service, accommodations, and attention to detail made my stay truly unforgettable. Thank you to the entire staff for their exceptional hospitality. I can't wait to return!

Liked: Cleanliness
Mostly good. Good size room, just oddly apportioned. Bathroom space is divided in two, with shower and toilet crammed into the smaller space. Water provided only on first day. Coffee maker in lobby is good. I didn't try breakfast, but it looked meager. Good bakeries nearby.
