Hotel Eden Genève

At first sight Hotel Eden Geneva is an impressive structure, dignified yet welcoming. Once we got up the front stairs with our bags we were greeted, registered and on our way to our fifth floor room in the cozy but efficient elevator. The receptionist emailed our transport cards-standard issue to all hotel newcomers-so we could begin riding buses, trams, etc., as soon as possible. The cards were in our email inboxes before we got to our room. That was a good thing because we were hungry and wanted to get dinner as soon as we unpacked. Our room featured a king sized bed, a neighborhood view, and was updated in all important ways. There were ample outlets, a hair dryer, bedside tables, a comfortable desk and plenty of storage. The bathroom was updated, water pressure and lighting good, and there was even a makeup mirror. Breakfast was free every day, available from 7:00-10:00 am, and though it is called a cold breakfast, there are options for the guest to make their own pancakes and cook their own eggs and toast. The restaurant is available for dinner most nights. There is a sitting area-lounge with several couches and chairs. There were many choices for places to eat once we hopped on the bus or tram. We easily traveled a short distance to most restaurants, and one morning we ventured to a nearby town to CERN to see that facility. We would definitely stay here again, though we might opt for a view room as the hotel is near the lake.

Outstanding customer service at all levels and functions, coupled with convenient location and well designed and appointed rooms makes Hotel Eden an ideal stay in Geneva.

History vibe. Free organic breakfast included. Green / environmentally sustainable management. Decent gym. Friendly staff. Great location: walkable to botanical garden, walking paths along the shore of lac leman (Lake Geneva), public transportation, and the UN.
