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.

“Near” airport.

Very simple hotel. Cute decor. Pleasant staff and atmosphere. There is a bus stop - strongly recommended taking a bus to the terminal. It’s quite a trek! The only downfall…it’s near the airport not at the airport. GVA doesn’t have any in terminal hotels. Be aware if traveling with lots of luggage or skis.

This is a nicely located hotel for someone traveling very early because it is a less than 10mn walk from departure . However it is basically impossible to locate when you arrive. They claim that there is a shuttle service but I waited a good 30mn to no avail. I had a very hard time finding my way to the hotel and I was not the only one-another person was also lost. they should post some info on their web site and with the agencies that reserve for them like expedia.

Clean and convenient at the Aéroport, walking

1.7.25- HIGHLY RECOMMEND- walk to the airport/apt. train station/central bus depot or take a bus located 25m from door (if it is raining!!) We flew in/out of GVA and this hotel was beyond wonderful to assist us with the early departure in the morning. The day before our arrival they sent a public transport pass, but we were not able to make complete use of it, as it included the WATER TAXIS for Lake Geneva. We did ride a tram and a train with the local passes. Very convenient. We ate in town at Cafe de Paris, unchanged since 1930. Reception was very friendly and accommodating. There was breakfast offered but we had to rush out and could not partake. Highly Recommend for a stay when you have to fly in and out of Palexpo, looking forward to staying again next visit.
