ibis Genève Centre Nations

In a nutshell, the staff are supportive and friendly. The room is nice. And the location is very good. More details for the location: 1. there's a bus station (line 8) in front of the hotel already, which can take you from/to the central station (Geneva station) in 3 minutes, and to Lake Geneva in 5 minutes. 2. Also, it's a walkable distance. In 8-10 minutes maximum, you can get to the central station, 12-15 minutes, you can reach Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc garden. 3. To go to the airport, even to walk to Geneva station or take Bus 8, then the train will drop you in 7 minutes at the airport. Or, if you are late to your flight, it's only 7 minutes by taxi or Uber to reach the terminal from the hotel. 4. When I was in Geneva, there was a festival, so the bus was so disrupted. Line 8 wasn't seen most of the time, but walking was easy.

This hotel was exactly what were looking for! We had two rooms (the second one was for our teenage kids). Both rooms were clean, comfortable and quiet. Although minimal, it had all the basic necessities, including a body wash/shampoo combo in the shower and a wall-unit hair dryer. The hotel was fully booked the weekend we were there, so our kids' room was not located on the same floor, but it was not a problem. The location of the hotel was perfect for what we wanted, since our trip was focused on sight-seeing and swimming at the lake. The bus stop is located right outside the hotel, so we were able to take it across the bridge into Old Town for dinner and shopping. We opted for the free breakfast, and it was nice. It included standard breakfast fare (pastries, eggs, meats, fruits, yogurt, cereal, coffee) and the staff were extremely receptive and friendly. If you are interested in seeing Geneva on a budget, this hotel is a great option.

- breakfast was excellent: fresh fruit, bread, different options (Gluten free and lactose free) - the room was big, clean, with air conditioning, good views of the mountain. The bed was comfortable, bathroom and shower were spacious. - train station was 12’ away and bus to/from city center or airport were 5’ away. - late checkout (12:00)

The mattress was very comfortable, the staff were very good and helpful, they speak excellent English. The free WiFi was very fast and enabled us to stream video content (this can be cast to the smart TV in the room). The room also had AC. Water pressure was also very good. The station is a 10 minute walk away and the water front is about a 15 minute walk away.

I try to reserve ten scores for the exceptional (a honeymoon destination or somewhere that someone with mobility issues would be happy to stay in and just watch the world go by). This accommodation was very good but there are probably hundreds of almost identical hotel rooms in Geneva. Easily reached from the railway station (10 minutes walk up a fairly gentle incline). Good breakfast. Would happily stay again but would probably check other accommodation for better price and/or more suitable location first. The location suited us perfectly for our trip to Geneva by train.
