This was my first time in Geneva and I was floored by the cost of things. The hotel, itself, is very nice and well situated in front of the lake. My room was fine, not outstanding, with a comfortable bed, clean bathroom, and small sitting area. As noted in other reviews, the lack of a coffee/tea service is disappointing, as... More

Hotel staff were friendly. However very disappointed to find even basic simple facility of tea/coffee making in so called 'superior room' not provided! First hotel ever in my entire 30 years of travel to European cities which does not provide complimentary tea bags or coffee making facility in the room. Poor value for exorbitant price. Guests should bring their own... More

We stayed here for one night with our tour group. The room was comfortable but the bathroom did not have a shower curtain or a shower door. We had to shower very carefully so that no water spilled out of the tub. We were unable to control the temperature in our room no matter which direction we turned the knob... More

This was a short 3-night business trip to Geneva; just enough time to sample this property. First, this is a big hotel. It does not seem so at first, but it is quite cosmopolitan and very busy. They staff accordingly! When I checked it, there were five agents busy, and in no time at all I was on my way... More

We chose the Kempinski because i am a platinum points member with GHA and with the promise of an upgrade when checking in that swung it for me.

This hotel is on the lake side, and less than 10 minutes walk to the old town and train station, and 5 mins walk to one of the biggest shopping malls - Manor. Very convenient in terms of location. However, their staff at the reception were always putting up long faces, which made us felt very unwelcomed. Also, every morning... More

I was expecting great things from this hotel, both because of the Kempinski brand (very positive experiences previously in other hotels) and because of the extremely high cost of the rooms here.
