My stay at Hotel President Wilson had its highlights and lowlights. While the hotel features stunning lake views and good breakfast options, I encountered some unsettling issues with service and a few room amenities. Overall, the experience was mixed, leaving me to weigh the pros and cons carefully.

Rooms

6.0

The room I stayed in was clean but lacked the luxurious feel often associated with 5-star hotels. The bathroom, although well-appointed, had a shower that didn’t work properly on the first day. I expected better given the hotel's reputation.

Service

5.0

I found the reception staff a bit matter-of-fact and lacking warmth during check-in. There was a notable delay in my sister's check-in which felt quite inconvenient. While some staff were friendly and the concierge was helpful, the initial welcome experience fell short of expectations.

Location

7.0

The hotel's location is quite advantageous; I enjoyed the proximity to Lake Geneva and the lovely walks to nearby restaurants and shops. However, it is a bit away from the hustle and bustle of the city center, which might not suit everyone.

Breakfast was a standout feature, with a variety of high-quality options that I thoroughly enjoyed. However, I was disappointed with some other dining experiences, as I found certain meals overpriced without the expected level of quality.

My stay at Hotel President Wilson was a mix of delight and disappointment. The service from the staff was really good, making me feel welcomed and valued. However, I found the room to be not as luxurious as I expected given the price. The views of Lake Geneva were stunning and truly enhanced my experience, yet some amenities felt outdated.

Rooms

6.2/10

My stay at Hotel President Wilson was a mix of highs and lows. The stunning views of Lake Geneva were lovely, and the luxurious bathroom with Hermes toiletries was a good touch. However, I encountered a frustrating check-in experience that overshadowed the beauty of the hotel. The lack of proactive communication about room availability was surprising for a place of this caliber.

Rooms

6.0

My room was virtually standard despite being categorized as luxury. I'd expected more exclusivity for the price I paid. The bed was comfortable, but the TV setup was quite bizarre, requiring me to unplug it during turn down service to keep it off.

Service

6.0

I was taken aback by the check-in process; it wasn't as welcoming as I'd hoped. The reception staff were matter-of-fact about my sister's room delay, which felt impersonal. Yet, the concierge service was friendly and helpful in other aspects, which was a nice contrast.

Location

7.0

While the location offered stunning views and was walkable to key attractions, I found it a bit further from the city center than ideal. Still, it was easy to explore Geneva from there, especially with the complimentary public transport passes.

Dining

7.0

The on-site dining options included a Lebanese restaurant that was quite unique. Breakfast had a good variety, but it wasn't the standout experience I anticipated from a luxury hotel. I enjoyed the food but expected even more quality for the price.

Facilities

7.0

The hotel's public spaces were beautifully designed and clean, which I appreciated. However, certain amenities felt standard and didn't align with the overall luxury theme of the hotel. I hoped for more engaging public areas or enhanced dining experiences.
