Aparthotel Adagio Geneve Mont Blanc

“Great weekend stay.”

Super comfy and fun place to stay here. We stayed for two nights and it was great. The bed was one of the best we had on our holiday and the room had a nice laid out bathroom. The hotel is a 3 minute walk from the side of the lake and very close to the main train station. We cooked dinner both nights in the room and they had a very good set up for it. All staff in the hotel were very friendly and check in and out was a breeze. Also if you're wanting a drink close by, I'd recommend the Grand Duke Pub.

“Tired hotel, good location”

This hotel needs revamping! The room itself was OK, and clean. Getting in the door to the room required some effort, as the door was stuck- so much so that the architrave around the inside of the door was coming away from the wall. The carpet in hallways is worn and should be replaced, and the in... more

This hotel needs revamping! The room itself was OK, and clean. Getting in the door to the room required some effort, as the door was stuck- so much so that the architrave around the inside of the door was coming away from the wall. The carpet in hallways is worn and should be replaced, and the interiors are tired. Desk staff were helpful though, and courteous when dealing with a very difficult guest (who arrived just before us). The location is fairly close to the lake, but no views from the rooms.

“It's okay...”

I am not the kind of person to usually write a review and I am generally an easy-going person, but I felt compelled to write a review this time.

I am not the kind of person to usually write a review and I am generally an easy-going person, but I felt compelled to write a review this time. I have done a lot of solo travelling as a 20-something-year-old female. Overall, I think this place is okay but they would do better to be more honest in their advertising so as to avoid broken expectations. Pros: - A good location close to the main train station (Gare Cornavin) and walking distance to good shops and restaurants. - A kitchenette. - You are given a free public transport pass. - The breakfast service provides a very European, interesting breakfast which is a cool experience as a foreigner and includes pastries, cheeses, coffee, fruit, etc. Cons: - My door keys stopped working several times during my stay, which I've never experienced before at a hotel. It was a bit annoying having to go up and down from the 6th floor for this multiple times so the staff could reset my keys. - When I arrived, my air conditioning (heater and cooler) would not switch on at all. Instead, I was given an old portable fan to use for my stay. The alternative option I was given was opening a window for ventilation, which did not feel safe as my room was near the building scaffolding and someone could climb up from the street. - There is no chain or deadbolt for the room doors, which I prefer to use at night as a solo female traveller. - The room cleanliness was okay but the curtains had a splattering of what maybe looked like tomato sauce at the bottom. The balcony was quite dirty. - They could do with more pillows on the bed to make it more cosy! - The wifi isn't super fast, often it wouldn't load a webpage in a reasonable time. I often ended up switching to my mobile phone data. Things to be aware of: - If you are booking a room with a balcony, this will be on the 6th floor but your room will have its own spiral staircase that you have to climb up and carry your bag up. It is not a good idea to book this kind of room if you have difficulties with frailty/ being nimble/ carrying the full weight of your bags. I am a young person who does strength training twice a week and I felt that I had to be very mindful of my step each time I went up and down because it is narrow and steep. - The building is very old, and everything looks a bit scuffed and dated (not like the photos online). - They are renovating the outside of the building so there is scaffolding across the front of the building. If you have a room with a balcony, you may get surprised by workmen close by on the roof. As a solo female traveller, this prompted me to feel concerned about my safety so I used my balcony less often than I would have liked. This is because a few times while sitting on my balcony, I realised there was a workman a few metres away looking over. - Your room is not cleaned every day unless if you ask for the service which incurs an additional fee. - The hotel is close to the red light district. I didn't experience any issues in regard to this but some folks would appreciate being aware of that in advance. Overall, I wasn't left feeling super relaxed or confident in the service as a solo female traveller. I probably wouldn't stay here again. My advice to the business is to be more upfront with their advertising, or address the issues quickly so that the reality matches the advertising. I thought I was paying for a comfortable safe hotel room with air conditioning; the reality appeared to be different.

Hotel is located centrally and close to a train station. It’s an apart hotel so there’s a decent size kitchenette Room is quite big with a small desk. Reception staff are very friendly The bed mattress is super hard and uncomfortable. Stayed two night here and both nights didn’t have a good night sleep. It’s like sleeping on the floor. Room is boiling hot. Aircon doesn’t work and I kept the window opened all the time (it opens just a bit) - a wall heater cannot be turned down/off and I woke up sweaty both nights. I asked a receptionist for help but there was no improvement. I know it’s December but room temperature is way too high to be comfortable Breakfast is disappointing and unhealthy. It’s a tray delivered to your room with different breads, jam, tiny amount of spreadable cheese. Very old school and kind of cute but not a light healthy breakfast I’d like to have in a 4 star expensive hotel
