Review of the Bristol Hotel in Geneva
# Stay
We visited the Bristol Hotel in Geneva as a couple during the Whitsun weekend and spent a total of three days there.
# Location
The hotel is centrally located, just a few seconds from the lake and right by the Jet d'eau. The pier for boat tours is also in the immediate vicinity. There are numerous excellent restaurants around the hotel. The main train station is a 10-minute walk away, 5 minutes by bus; stop right in front of the hotel.
# Room and service/staff
The room (standard double room, renovated) was a comfortable size with seating and a minibar. The bed was super comfortable with heavy pillows and a mattress that was neither too hard nor too soft, we slept wonderfully. The bathroom is equipped with a large rain shower and Molton Brown products. Bathroom and room very clean.
The hotel placed great emphasis on service. The staff were consistently competent, friendly, helpful and prompt. We felt very well looked after.
# Fitness and spa area
The hotel's spa area has a whirlpool, a hammam (not a steam bath) and a sauna. However, there is no relaxation area, there are no loungers or similar places to relax, which significantly reduces the relaxation value. We found this to be a disadvantage, especially since the hotel is advertised as a wellness/spa hotel.
The hotel's fitness area, on the other hand, is all the more spacious. It is surprisingly well equipped with a variety of equipment; I have never seen such equipment in any other hotel.
# Breakfast
The breakfast was of excellent quality, even if the selection was not very large. The bread selection lacks rolls, but does offer brioche. Egg dishes are prepared individually to order and served at no extra cost. The coffee machine offered delicious coffee in almost every imaginable variation.
# Conclusion
The Bristol Hotel in Geneva convinced us and enabled us to have a great stay. However, the Bristol Hotel would not be suitable for a wellness/spa weekend due to the lack of places to relax/unwind (e.g. for reading, dozing, etc.). However, if this is not your main priority, I can 100% recommend the Bristol Hotel.
