Disappointed. Would not return.

We went to breakfast at around 9.45am There were plates of little scrap bits of smoked salmon. A tiny end piece of avocado. I expected the foods to be replenished. They were NOT. We ended up eating dried up rice. A few cold spring rolls and very cold dried up fried potato wedges. This was extremely disappointing. We didn't enjoy breakfast or the experience in the Woods restaurant. At breakfast, there were 4 or 5 other couples that arrived after we sat down. They all had waiters going to them and bringing coffee. Not one of the 5 or 6 waiters that were hanging around asked us if we wanted coffee or hot drinks. It was shocking!! I finally had to flag a waitress to bring us the bill. She gave me the bill. Our breakfast totalled 100 swiss francs. I paid with cash and waited for someone to come and collect it from the table. After 25 mins, we got up and took the money to a waitress and asked for a receipt. She said she'd bring one. She never returned. We were desperate to get on with our day. Eventually we asked again for a receipt. A waiter asked us if we ordered just one breakfast. This restaurant was NOT busy. How on earth did no one know what anyone was doing?? Customer service in the restaurant was dreadful. We didn't bother going back in to the Woods for breakfasts or dinner for the remainder of our stay.

Being ignored in the restaurant and food not replenished. No smoked salmon or avocado left and only dried up food available. Utterly dreadful! The TV in the room was not working well. The screen would randomly turn black every 15 minutes or so. The shower backed up and didn't drain. On day of arrival. There was no body wash. The cleaning staff had left two bottles of hair conditioner instead of bodywash. The maid apologised the next day and switched out one of the conditioners for a bodywash.

Lobna made my stay truly special at InterContinental Geneva

I truly enjoyed my stay at InterContinental Geneva; it was one of the best experiences I’ve had. I would like to especially thank Lobna for her high professionalism, her constant warm smile at the reception, and her continuous support with every request we made. I sincerely wish her all the best and continued success

A home away from home in one of the nicest neighborhoods in Geneva

A vintage yet extremely comfy and well maintained building, the Intercontinental Hotel Geneva is a place that stands out in History, having welcomed both great events and great people over the past six decades. It's always a pleasure to stay there and be greeted by the exceptionally friendly and dedicated staff. Bravo and keep up the good work!

Nothing could have been better.

Overall, very good!

I loved how close it is to the United Nations Headquarters, the pool, and the overall artsy vibe of the hotel. The food at the restaurant downstairs, particularly the breakfast they offer, was absolutely delicious.

The mini-bar is way too overpriced, but the daily complementary tea in your room is a nice touch. One of the employees had a "mean French girl" attitude, butchering my last name every single time she saw me and then laughing about it, which I did not appreciate - it's not a difficult surname to pronounce, and if it was genuinely hard for her to do so, I'd rather she just stopped trying... That said, the rest of the employees I've met during my stay there were extremely professional and courteous, though.

Highly recommend but for the $600 I paid per night they should give complimentary breakfast and movie channels.

Free use of business center, internet, pool & 24hr gym, free water and a bath in the room. Staff were fantastic, breakfast and restaurants and room service were fantastic. Not too close to the city so no loud traffic or crowds noise. Taxi always wait there.

Hotel walls were too thin, you can hear your neighbors using the toilet or shower as the pipes groans and the rain against the windows at night is loud and wind makes the windows groan. No free movies and no free breakfast, you have to pay.

Great stay in a very impressive hotel

This was my first time staying at this hotel. The reception staff were friendly but perhaps a bit new and did take a bit of time to check me in but made up for it by being warm and welcoming. Also there wasn't a line to check in when I arrived and I was seen to immediately. The hotel decor is lovely, and the lobby is welcoming with a lot of space to lounge around, have a drink and wait for a friend. Location wise its great - about 10 min to the airport. I had a suite on the 17th floor and had amazing views of the city and the lake. The rooms are bright and airy and spacious and well appointed. I was very impressed with the vegetarian and vegan options in the room service menu, which were more extensive than most of the other hotels I've stayed at.

A minor area of improvement would be that there could be usd charging points by the bedside. You get this at the four seasons now which is great as plugging your phone in overnight next to your bed is something we all need to do these days.
