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 !!
