I had a pleasant stay at the Intercontinental Geneva, and while the location was convenient with easy bus access, it wasn't right in the city center. My corner room offered stunning views of Lake Geneva and was spacious, though it did have some minor issues.

Overall, the service stood out positively, and I appreciated the attention to detail from the staff.

Overall, it was a nice stay with some room for improvement. 🌅
