Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Disappointingly mediocre

No air conditioner as advertised. For the record there is an air conditioner, it does turn on, it just blows warm air at an incredibly low speed, so it does not actually conditions the air. The front desk people were not particularly polite but at least they upgraded me to a larger room, sadly the air conditioner there was just as useless so I had to leave the hotel, only spent one very miserable night there, I left the next morning

Stay away until it has been renovated

Dear tentative guests and manager at hotel Diplomate in Geneve I stayed at the hotel for two nights in October 2022. The staff were friendly and helpful. However, the hotel has an acute need for renovation and continous maintenance. Here are some example: - The lights in the elevator turned off when you closed the door. This made it difficult to push the right botton. - The staircase and hallways had dirty and filthy carpets with a lot of visible dust. - The room also had a carpet with a lot of visible dust and patches. - The aircondition did not function and made the room very warm and fug. Hence, there is an acute need for renovation and continous maintenance to make this a safe, nice and afordable hotel that fits theso called 4 stars. With the current 4 star rating, this was a great dissappointment. It should be a 2 star rating to be a fair rating for what you get for the money. I am sorry, but the simple conclusion is that without renovation and continous maintenance, I would never book this hotel again and cannot recommend it to anyone else.

Excellent place for the value of the money

The stay was excellent. The staff were very polite and well accommodating. Easy lift access. The hotel is well connected with public transportation. A mall just opposite has a coop, pharmacy and a few other things for easy grab. The only issue I faced was the toilet, little less lighting, the loose shower fixture, and the curtains were a little weird. However, I feel the stay was good value for the money.
