3-Star Hotels in Geneva

We stayed just to rest after our arrival at Geneva airport but it turned out to be the best hotel we stayed at during our 9 day visit to Switzerland. Outstanding location near train station (no need for car) and lots of restaurants in easy walking distance. Very friendly staff, especially at the breakfast buffet. Surprisingly quiet room for such a busy area in Geneva.

Very close to train station. Across main road and a minute walk. Lots around the hotel, Starbucks, McDonald’s, various restaurants and cafes. Coop small supermarket and other shops. Our room was very clean, cleaned every day. Simply furnished with modern fittings and a great shower, good towels, tv, kettle, tea/coffee bits. Everything you need. Breakfast is served on the 8th floor, with great views and was also immaculate though we didn’t have breakfast during our stay. 5 minutes walk to river. There was quite a bit of noise late at night in the area behind the hotel (car park and street) , our window was open and it didn’t bother us. I’m sure with windows closed the noise would be far less. Staff at reception were very friendly.

We stayed at the IBIS for 4 nights and paid £370 which I thought was good value we had to pay taxes on top of that which was another 30 Swiss francs on arrival. The hotel is a little way out its about a 15 min walk to the train station but it a 5 min walk to the tram stop and you can get that across to old town so it is a really accessible hotel for a good price. The hotel its self was great the room was clean and spacious and the check in was good we didn’t eat here but we did sit in the bar at night and play cards all the staff were very welcoming I think for the price we paid I would book again the reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was due to the fact we asked for clean towels and didn’t get them and we asked for an extra pillow but were told no spare pillows could be found

The hotel is right across the street from the main train station, making it easy to find and a good location for connecting with trains, trams, and buses. It's not easy, however, to find reaonably-priced places to eat or shop nearby (but that's also a problem in much of Geneva). We ended up taking a (15-minute) bus journey to France to buy canned drinks and shelf-stable snacks, etc. The price difference was truly worth that short trip, especially if you are staying for more than a few days. Hotel staff were professional and the room was obviously newly renovated. Our room opened onto the street and was on a lower floor of the building. We were grateful for both the automated blackout blinds and the multi-pane windows, which kept out light and street noise really well. However, we did hear guests and ringing telephones from the room beside us. The room itself was way too small for two people if you are staying more than a night or two, and there is no workspace in the room. The 1x2 foot piece of shelf that might be used as a desk also housed a phone and a coffee maker. There was literally no other solid, flat surface where you could pull a up a chair and work at a laptop or even an iPad. We also had to pay extra for having a second person in the room but I was never asked if the original booking was for one or two people, so that was an expensive surprise. In addition, my partner was told that there was a quiet, secluded office space he could use for a work-related video call but when he went to make that call he was told he had to use a large, open lounge area instead and his call was repeatedly interupted by loud guests. The worst thing about our room, however, was the ants. We found multiple ants in the bathroom immediately upon entering and then again every morning. We stayed for almost a week and one morning we found many ants at the other end of the room, after a backpack was accidentally left on the floor overnight. At no time did we have any opened food or food scraps in the room. We didn't report this because we knew the hotel was at capacity and that without the queen we would be higly unlikely to be bringing viable ants home with us. So we just kept killing the ones we saw and kept our belongings off the floor. I had read other reviews of this hotel before we arrived and was concerned by reports of theft. We didn't see any reason for security concerns but did think it was odd that there was no secondary privacy latch in the room. And finally, we were told that everything in the mini-bar was free to us to consume. There was exactly one bottle of beer and a very low quality piece of chocolate in that mini-bar, so it seemed a bit odd to be told about this ”convenience” when it was so minor in quantity or quality. We did appreciate having bottled water and coffee refreshed daily, however.

Stayed for two nights in September. Staff was very friendly. The hotel was easy to find and just a block or so away from the train station. Very easy to get to via the underground shopping area connected to Cornavin station. The weather was wonderful when I was there, but note that the rooms do not have air conditioning, which wasn't an issue for the time of my visit. There was a complimentary vertical fan in the closet though in case needed.

Clean hotel. Room adequate for short stay. Clean and decent shower room. Air con worked well which was good as very warm outside. Arrived in morning and Couldn’t check in till afternoon but staff locked luggage in a room so could go exploring Geneva without carrying baggage about. You know what you are getting with an Ibis if comparing that the room isn’t beg enough or no kettle then book somewhere else. Good location near train station and everything is within easy reach by tram or bus.

The hotel is located near the Palais des Nations and far from the city center. The hotel staff are very friendly and smile a lot. The drain hole in the bathtub in the bathroom is clogged, and the water cannot flow down, which needs to be improved. Breakfast is a normal continental breakfast, which is relatively simple, but it is still full, without air conditioning, and you must open the window to sleep in the summer night.

Everything just perfect. Great Location. Sophisticated rooms. Breakfast could have been a bit more generous considering the price. However this is Switzerland, oder?! Have problems with the invoices of Ibis though. It seems like they always show less on the invoices than the amount that has actually been paid. Thats of course Not the Hotels fault but due to booking system. How can that bei Figured Out?

The last hotel in Switzerland, the price is relatively cheap, the environment is very good, the decoration is my favorite style. The toilet and shower are separate and very user-friendly. The elevator can only be filled with two people, unable to vomit, but does not affect the hotel experience. There is a Lebanese restaurant in the surrounding area. The local area is popular and tastes good.

There is no easy-to-use socket at the head of the bed, which is not very convenient. There is a kitchenette and some common tableware, this is good. About 10 minutes walk from the city center, if acceptable, it is still possible.
