Close to airport and train station (although directions from train station would be helpful to avoid crossing the 'red bridge' the wrong way. Room was cute and comfortable and basic but we expected that. It was really clean and comfy and triple room wS a real plus.

Overall good stay here. The common area and the rooms were very clean. Staff was courteous and helpful. The dining area was very small and the buffet breakfast was not worth the money given the food options were extremely limited. Don’t waste your money on the buffet breakfast and instead hop on a bus for a short ride into town for far better options

Money stolen from room by hotel employee

We stayed for 2 nights in July and on the second day and employee went into our room and stole 300 Euros from a bag in our suitcase. I reported it and got no help from the front desk staff, not even a sympathetic ear! Went to the airport police office and filed a report. I would never stay here again!

good option close to GVA airport

Quiet, clean, comfortable place to stay close to Geneva airport. Only downside is that, though it is walkable from the airport, it is a bit difficult to find the entrance. Recommended.

I liked that the room was a comfortable temperature. The bathroom was clean and sufficient. We were able to walk 15-20 min to a place to eat for dinner. We only needed to stay for one night as we were leaving for an early flight the next morning. Super easy to check out, just drop your key on the way out, and then walk 10 minutes or so to the airport.
Worked out great for my husband and I and our 12 year old son.

Stayed for a short time before our flight. Hotel is very close to airport, accessible by foot and bus. Rooms look very modern/new, very clean. Excellent value for money. Rooms are very small. This is great place to stay if you have a extended layover. Suggestions for improvement: I did have small snag with the checkin as they didn't send me the transit pass before the checkin. We came through Bus from different city, so without the transit pass, it was hassle to get to the hotel. We messaged the hotel, and they didn't respond. Upon checkin, we got our transit pass.
