About
Hotel Metropole has been a mythical Geneva hotel since 1854. Ideally located on the left bank, facing the lake and the English Garden, it is a few minutes' walk from the famous Rue Du Rhône, nationally known as the essential address for shopping, and the old town. The rooms and suites, lake side or city side, offer different atmospheres. The newly reinvented Traveler Deluxe rooms and Traveler Junior Suites feature a unique design that transports you into a cozy and sophisticated world, the epitome of quiet luxury The indisputable star of this hotel remains the MET Rooftop & Lounge. Nestled on the roofs of the hotel, it offers an beautiful panorama. Without a doubt, one of the best spots in town to admire the sunset and spend an evening with friends. Continental breakfast options are available daily at Hôtel Métropole Genève. Popular points of interest near the accommodations include Gare de Cornavin, St. Pierre Cathedral and Flower Clock. The nearest airport is Geneva International Airport, 3.7 mi from Hôtel Métropole Genève.

Pros +
- location
- The only thing I liked is the location and concierge service
- I am a regular client in this hotel which is perfectly located and used to offer a comfortable and friendly experience.
Cons -
- Booked on 5/5, over 3months early! On 7/6, I called hotel for a lakeside room. Reservationist, confirmed the upgrade for addtl fee. Upon arrival, no lakeside view. Hotel admitted their mistake but did NOTHING to amend. AWFUL GUEST RELATIONS!
- I booked Hotel Carlina Courchevel 1850 expecting at least a solid four-star standard, even if not a true five-star experience. Unfortunately, the reality has been disappointing. The rooms are extremely outdated, and the bathrooms feel old and worn. The family room provided for my nanny and children felt unsafe, with low wooden ceilings and steep stairs posing a risk. My own room had a very strong, unpleasant odor that gave me a headache. Management did attempt to offer a room change, which I appreciated. However, I felt uncomfortable with the visible exchange of looks between staff, which came across as judgmental and unprofessional.
- Unfortunately over the past few months and for many more to come, the hotel is undergoing heavy construcion works while staying open. My last experience was a room heated at 50 degrees celsius with employees incapable of fixing the problem. I had to sleep with the window opened on the street. No sleep. Bar is closes. It took me 10 mn to find somebody for the check out at 6am. At €900 the night it is not acceptable. I would strongly recommand to prioritize other hotels in Geneve and wait for the Works to be completed to test again the Metropole.

Everything, staff Helpful and kind, Location perfect, room was clean and comfortable.
The staff was extremely knowledgeable and helpful
It was very hot in the room and the air-conditioning was not working so well
everything very good-hotel upgraded us to room with lake view! and able to get us early checkin and late checkout!
hotel had renovation so was not able to enjoy all the common spaces.
location
smells weird at entrance.... after you book expesif room.... they tell you it is renovated so half hotel is clossed..
Excellent helpful staff. Rooms beautifully decorated and the bathrooms were clean and tidy. Bidet was a nice feature often lacking in Europe.
Bathrooms lacked privacy.
Excellent location and a very spacious suite that had a partial lake view! It was my son’s birthday and the hotel staff had organized a cake and small gifts as a surprise at the arrival in our room! Very lovely gesture! The reception staff were all very nice and the newly renovated parts of the hotel are beautiful.We would definitely stay again as very good value for money.
The hotel is currently under renovation and the breakfast is served on the 5th floor in a kind of worn out space and the options are not great for a 5 star establishment. However, having known this in advance as the hotel sent us a message beforehand it still works out fine.
I choose the hotel for location
The room cleanliness is poot Air-conditioning was not available. I couldn't open the window as the noise from the road was loud. The whole night i was awake after paying for two nights. I had to shorten the stay and requested the front desk agent. She said pay now full and booking.com will reverse my second night charges. I didn't get even the invoice. And no payment reversed. Really very bad experience with this hotel Also, restaurant service was poor. They don't have the buffet replenished and the service team was not approachable Please look into reimburse my second night
Location
Facilities are very poor. Breakfast was just ok, the bar was not open and the glass bathroom does not lend to modesty .
Great location. Great view of the lake
Pillows. The air conditioner was too hot and complicated to work
Although under renovation, hotel &...
Hotel was under renovation, but the Staff and rooms were fantastic
Nothing much very busy street marking of the park was the city park across the street and on the lake it had nothing to do with the property.
Where do we begin? They’re in the middle of remodel which is not advertised. The upstairs bar restaurant was dated by about 30 years. The new rooms are very nice but you walk into a very disappointing entry with no amenities no bar no restaurant old and sad.
Great location in the center Great extra Friday staff like Mr Shaikh & Mr Fahad
I don’t think this hotel is 5 star hotel !Noisy construction around No good restaurant I give this hotel 3/4 star only
Lovely period building, great location.
The kettle in the room.
Wonderful location - hotel was under renovation while we were there but they still made provision to keep guests comfortable and happy. Rooms were lovely and clean with all the necessary amenities!Best rooftop bar in the city!

We are delighted to announce the renovation of the Hotel Metropole Geneva. The constructions will be organized in order to maintain the operations of our hotel, which has a really important place in the hearts of the Genevans. All possible solutions are in place to minimize any inconvenience during your stay. After the rooms and meeting spaces, it's now time to redesign our restaurant and bar and offer you a unique experience in Geneva as of next year. While our outlets are closed, a complimentary Hospitality Lounge is available for our in-house guests and offers self-serviced drinks and finger foods . The in-room dining is available around the clock, as well as the MET Rooftop (except during seasonal closing) . Our concierge team, true destination expert, will be happy to suggest partner restaurants suiting your tastes just a few steps from the hotel, located in the heart of downtown. Please note that the hotel entrance, Quai du Général Guisan, as well as our valet parking service, will remain available throughout the renovation period. We look forward to welcoming you in the reinvented Metropole!Guests under the age of 18 can only check in with a parent or official guardian.
