The Ambassador has a prize location and is an excellent property. But it has a problem with its east-facing rooms which look out on a street with a nightclub. Which closes as 8am. There's noise all night. Patrons exit to smoke and shout right under the hotel. Reception staff admitted many guests have complained to no avail. In Geneva, of all places, the hotel management should raise it with the local authorities. Swiss rules exist to put a stop to this nuisance.

The staff is very attentive. The location is central and close to all the major sites. Tourists qualify for the curly pass and can travel free on the public transportation. Definitely recommend.

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..?

I would highly recommend The Ambassador to anyone staying in Geneva ! The location is superb .. right in the heart of the city facing the Rhône river. A million dollar view, for sure. The room was large, and perfect for 2. The service was top notch !! I can’t say enough about this excellent hotel !!
