Book your hotel for Lift11

November 25, 2010 - 23:07 — Sarah Suter

If you are one of our dear Lift11 participants, and haven't yet booked your hotel room, please do so when you have a few minutes.

We have put some rooms on hold in a selection of convenient hotels for you. These options expire a few weeks before the conference, depending on the hotel, so the quicker you book, the greater your choice :)

Below is a quick overview of the hotels. Geneva Tourism has set up a dedicated Lift11 booking website through which you can conveniently make your bookings. You can access these offers on this link in English and in French

Most of these hotels are close to the Geneva Main Station, which is a 10-minute tram ride from the conference venue (the CICG).

Hôtel Strasbourg *** CHF 170-220 4-min walk to station, comfortable
Hôtel Auteuil **** CHF 250 5-min walk to station, stylish
Hôtel Kipling *** CHF 250 5-min walk to station, modern
Hôtel Jade *** CHF 250 Convenient - between station and conference center

If you haven't done so already, today is your last day to book a room at the Mon Repos, and tomorrow is the last day to book a room at the Bernina - and benefit from our special conference rates.

Below is a quick overview of the hotels. Geneva Tourism has set up a dedicated Lift10 booking website through which you can conveniently make your bookings. You can access these offers on this link in English and in French

Hôtel Bernina *** CHF 260 Opposite station, building typical of "fazyste" period
Hôtel Mon-Repos *** CHF 216 Near botanical gardens, 10-min tram to station, 10-min walk to CICG

A warning about Hotel Capitole

February 5, 2008 - 23:46 — Aral Balkan

I guess I chose the wrong hotel. I went with Hotel Capitole, which is recommended on the LIFT site. I've been here about an hour and in that time the only good thing was the friendly check-in girl (Lili). Otherwise,

  • The non-smoking room reeks of old cigarettes
  • The WiFi isn't working (I'm writing this with the ethernet connection of one of the PCs in the lobby)
  • The manager just had a LOUD heated argument with one of the guests who apparently ran up a large bill on his tab and doesn't have a credit card. I'm sitting here in the lobby as a guest of the hotel and there's another guest here too and the manager didn't care one bit. After the guy left (to try and get some money to settle his bill) the manager kept venting his frustrations. Very, very unprofessional and it just created a horrible atmosphere. I would at least have expected him to apologize from us. And now it seems that they're calling the police.

OK, so from my personal little experience, I would avoid Hotel Capitole.

I hope my stay improves.

I'd love to hear from you if you're happy with your hotel. I might ask for a refund and move to a different one tomorrow.

Update: And it only got worse: Techno music piping through the walls from the bar downstairs (I'm on the 2nd floor) until 2am was a nice finishing touch to the evening and a shower that alternated between boiling and freezing was a refreshing start to the morning.

Please, someone give me hotel recommendations! I gotta get out of there! :)
