What guests think

At The Ambassador, travellers consistently praise the central riverfront location and helpful staff, with many noting clean rooms and good value, while recurring downsides include dated areas, compact bathrooms with awkward shower-over-bath setups, and some rooms feeling small.

Some rooms are spacious with striking lake or river views, while others are more compact. Service is widely described as warm and accommodating, including early room readiness, luggage help, and parking assistance, though a few guests reported billing or check-in policy frustrations. Breakfast is available but often considered pricey or modest, and several guests opted for nearby restaurants. Overall, expect a welcoming stay with standout views in select rooms and some older touches.

Great location. Very helpful and accommodating staff. Comfortable room with the exception of the tub/shower. Side is way too high and shower head is mounted at knee level. Other than that, no issues. Able to use gym at partner hotel across the street. Didn’t use restaurant.

Great location and wonderful views from the upper floors. Valet parking is efficient and the staff is very accommodating. Elevators so no steps to lug your luggage over... Never ate at the hotel - too many options around there! Gym across the street at sister hotel. Two things to note: rate charged was higher than hotels.com reservation. (I'd prepay next time). Also, as an American, the Air Conditioning is lacking for our sensibilities. We were there during a heat wave and the room never cooled down. Opened the window in the early morning, as it was cooler outside. Noisy too as there are benches right in front of the hotel.

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.

Wonderful location and friendly, helpful staff. Gave us a room when we arrived early. It was small but comfortable. Loved that they had black out blinds. We would stay there again without question. Housekeeping was not stellar. They forgot the second towel. We only had one bathrobe and they didnt change the sheets even though they got dirty. Obviously we could have asked if it had been a problem.

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.

Great place to stay with nice breakfast & service. But, crazy shower arrangement that floods the bathroom floor & all counters etc each time you use it. The bathroom is small and has this raised super slippery bathtub .. scary. But by far the scariest is the check in & out. You can have your credit card PHOTOCOPIED or pay cash up front. Or basically risk having your card compromised or take a chance with SF750 CASH in your pocket on the way to the hotel. The solution seems simple Credit Card Hold! Could it be this option has not reached the banking capital of the world..?

The hotel is situated right in the center of the city, walking distance to everywhere. It is also a seven minute walk to the train station which eliminates the need for taxi Uber, etc... The rooms are a bit small and it's hard to take a shower without soaking the entire bathroom. Other than that, everything was great 👍

Firstly the location of this hotel is amazing! We travelled from London for one night - the staff were really friendly and helpful, they allowed us to leave our bags before our room was ready. When we got back later on in the evening our bags were waiting for us in our room. The room was clean, lovely view, nice and cool and we found the bed comfortable - no noise during the night. Again the staff were super friendly in the morning and lets us leave our bags at checkout and we were able to pick them up when we left in the evening.

The Ambassador Hotel is located at one of the best locations in Geneva, next to the lake. I had amazing room with view on the fountain. The stay was great until the situation with refusal to provide invoice for my stay. The grounding was that it was booked via hotels.com and can't be issued by hotel itself, although my colleagues received it instantly at reception with same booking. 4 days of constant negotiations by email, and finally I received it. This was not the best experience, but apart from service, hotel is definitely recommended for stay.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5 stars) I recently stayed at The Ambassador Hotel, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The service, attention to detail, and overall atmosphere were exceptional. Upon arrival, the staff was warm and friendly, ensuring a smooth check-in process. The room was clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated, providing a peaceful environment for a good night's sleep. The highlight of my stay was the outstanding dining experience at the hotel's restaurant. The menu offered a wide variety of delicious dishes, expertly prepared and served by knowledgeable staff. The hotel's central location was convenient for exploring the city's attractions, shopping, and public transportation. The amenities, including the fitness center and complimentary Wi-Fi, were excellent. In conclusion, I highly recommend The Ambassador Hotel. The service, accommodations, and attention to detail made my stay truly unforgettable. Thank you to the entire staff for their exceptional hospitality. I can't wait to return!
