The staff at reception were excellent. A friend and I stayed in a twin room for one night - huge room with views of the lake. After one night we left our luggage to head off for one night. Great rooms with lake views when we came back. Very helpful and friendly at all times. Will definitely stay again. Thanks

The hotel overall was nice but dated, the air conditioning was working well overall and in the bedroom, and not too noisy. The room was comfortable. The shower was above the bath and a bit awkward to use in practice. The room cleaning service was of the highest standard, excellent daily. There were excellent blackout curtains and electric roller shutters which were a very useful feature. The location of the hotel is excellent, on the river in the centre of town. Make sure to confirm direct with the hotel the details and image of the room you have booked as this was not quite as requested when booking via Expedia.

The Ambassador hotel is on an excellent location across a short bridge to old town Geneva. Walking distance to shopping, grocery store, etc. I had a car and there was space for parking. We had a deluxe room and and an economy room. The economy room was tight but functional. The bathroom was modern and clean. It had a good view of the lake. The deluxe room had a spectacular view and much larger in size with larger bathrooms. The bed was comfortable. The shower had good water pressure. Excellent choice when visiting Geneva.
