Fantastic hotel right in the center of the city
I have been coming to Geneva a couple of times each year, for over 15 years, and have stayed in all major lakeside hotels, including President Wilson, Hotel d'Angleterre, Kempinski Hotel (now Fairmont Grand Hotel Geneva), Hotel de la Paix Geneva (aka The Ritz-Carlton), and Hotel Metropole Geneve to name a few. However, this was my first stay in Hôtel de la Cigogne, and what a delightful stay it was. The hotel is centrally located right in the center of Geneva, on the Longemalle square next to the Old Town. I stayed in Junior Suite, and it was very spacious and comfortable, with one downside that there were no easily accessible electric outlets near the bed. The hotel is relatively small and boutique. If you are looking for a large foyer, several restaurants, a swimming pool, etc. – this is not the place, and for those things you may want to look into other hotels in Geneva, e.g., Fairmont Grand Hotel. In a sense, Hôtel de la Cigogne is more like Hotel d'Angleterre in its classical and slightly old charm style. The breakfast options at the hotel are limited as there is no buffet, but table service is fairly reasonable. The concierge service / front desk is excellent. All in all, this is an excellent hotel in the center of Geneva, on the Old Town side of the Mont Blanc Bridge, and withing easy walking distance to all major attractions in Geneva. Would definitely stay there again and have no hesitation recommending it.
