4-Star Hotels in Geneva

This is a business hotel with clean, tidy, and adequately sized rooms. However, if you're traveling with children and have more than two suitcases, I'd recommend booking at least a 'boutique room' as standard rooms might not have enough space for your luggage. The hotel staff are highly professional; I even encountered an employee (not ethnically Chinese) who spoke fluent Mandarin. Although they weren't speaking to me directly, it felt very welcoming. Indeed, there were quite a few Chinese guests coming and going. The hotel's lobby bar is excellent, offering a wide selection of drinks from 11 AM until late evening. The staff there are very enthusiastic. Crucially, the hotel is incredibly close to the airport. One of the photos I uploaded shows a building at the end of the road, which is part of the airport complex. To its left is P51, the car rental parking lot at Geneva Airport, and T1 terminal is just a short walk to its right. It's only a 7-minute walk from P51 back to the hotel, and 12 minutes from the terminal. This makes it particularly convenient for travelers who rent and return their cars at Geneva Airport. Of course, the hotel also provides a free shuttle bus service to and from the airport. It runs every 20 minutes, takes about 5 minutes, and I believe it starts as early as 4 AM. Turn right just 30 meters from the hotel entrance, and you'll find a bus stop for the No. 10 bus, which goes directly to Lake Geneva (a 5-minute walk from the stop) and Geneva Old Town. Upon check-in, the front desk provides an A4 printout with a free electronic public transport pass. Simply scan the QR code to download the 'hello Geneva' app, enter the 8-digit coupon ID, and you can generate an electronic travel card. You can use it for free for as many days as you're staying at the hotel. Breakfast is served on the basement level, with both indoor and outdoor seating (smoking allowed outdoors). The food selection is decent, including coffee, milk, juices, sausages, eggs (uncommonly, besides the usual cheesy scrambled eggs, they also offered fried egg rolls), salmon, and a good variety of cold cuts like ham and salami. Fruits, toast, bread, and mini croissants are also available. The hotel's charging sockets require an adapter. They support UK-style plugs, but for European round plugs, the recessed holes are quite deep. If you bring an adapter from home, make sure it's a long-tipped one like mine. Some round-headed adapters can only fit into the central socket.

I had a great weekend in Geneva, and my stay at Appart-City Genève-Vernier-Aéroport went very well. The studio we had was perfect: cozy, well-arranged, and comfortable. The location is ideal, with shops nearby and very convenient public transportation to get around the city easily. The booking process was hassle-free, everything was very straightforward. The only minor drawback was the room window: it doesn't open very easily, which makes ventilation a bit difficult and causes some odors to linger longer in the room. Other than that, everything was impeccable, and I genuinely loved my stay. I highly recommend this establishment!

Correct hotel close to the airport. Rooms are nice and clean. They wanted to charge 20 CHF for early check in (40min before original check in) which I have not experienced before. Other than that all good.

Swiss hotels are relatively expensive due to limited space, but this time, because my trip was longer, I booked a slightly larger double room with a view of the Jet d'Eau. From my room, I could see the fountain and the beautiful old buildings in the surrounding square. The room had three windows, which were very bright when open. My room also had a small luggage compartment. The hotel was very clean, and there was bus number 10 nearby that goes directly to and from the airport. However, you need to bring your own basic toiletries as they are not provided. It's a short walk from the city center, but not too far. There's a Burger King nearby, but for something better, you need to go to the train station where there's a Chinese restaurant; the food is decent. The hotel floors are wooden, which felt cleaner than carpet. Considering the high cost of living in Switzerland, this hotel is quite good value and worth recommending.

The hotel's location is truly unbeatable. It's just a 15-minute drive from the airport, directly across from a Coop supermarket, and right next to a light rail station, making getting around incredibly convenient. They even thoughtfully provide a Swiss transport card, which saves a lot on sightseeing around the city. The room was clean and comfortable, and despite facing the main street, the window insulation was excellent, ensuring a great night's sleep. The downsides are that the elevator is a bit narrow, so with large luggage, you can probably only fit two people. Also, to get to the elevators on the first floor from the check-in lobby on the ground floor, you have to go up a few stairs, meaning you have to carry your luggage yourself, which is a peculiar design. Furthermore, with many guests, rooms aren't available until 3 PM, so if you arrive early, you'll have to wait in the lobby. Breakfast is classic European style; there aren't many hot dishes, but the cold cuts selection is abundant, including smoked salmon and air-dried beef. They even offer strawberries and kiwi for fruit, which was a pleasant surprise. Overall, it's a good place.

As a business hotel with the bare minimum, bed and shower, and convenience of being close to the airport, it's ok. The breakfast buffet at CHF32 was very good. Geneva is an expensive city per se. This week, I think there were fairs/events in the city crowding the hotels and bringing the prices up. Things to complain about: the shower doesn't have a door, so the bathroom gets all wet. There are no amenities like courtesy slippers, toothbrushes, and toothpaste (Yeah, save the planet...) And the shower mixer gives you 3 choices: cold, hot, and cold-hot-cold-hot... So, showering is a challenge. Think of these ”chain/brand” hotels as that is what you get to make their EPS go up and please their shareholders. There is nothing to do with hospitality.

The hotel is right next to the train station, just a 100-200 meter walk away. The front desk kindly allowed me to check in early, which I really appreciated. I booked a single room, and it was actually a bit larger than I expected. The room had air conditioning; even though it was an older model, it worked, which was a lifesaver in the hot European weather. The bed was a little soft, but the bedding was comfortable. Luggage storage is also available.

I was drawn to this lakeside hotel and stayed here for three days, but I definitely won't be coming back. Here's why: 1. **Lake View:** While the hotel is near the lake, many private residences fence off the shoreline. You have to walk quite a distance to actually get close to the water, otherwise, you're just looking at walls or seeing the lake from a high vantage point. 2. **Breakfast:** It was awful! Awful! Awful! Seriously, don't bother buying it! Especially when they offer a 'discount' at check-in – absolutely do NOT buy it! It's not worth it and you can't get a refund! They make you sign a paper, and it's a very strict policy. Do not buy it, seriously. There's a big supermarket downstairs where you can easily grab some fruit, yogurt, and bread, which is far more than enough. 3. **Service Attitude:** Apart from a decent check-in on the first day, the service was terrible! And get this – when I tried to cancel my breakfast, they automatically checked me out! The next day, someone just opened my room door without knocking! I spoke up from inside, which startled them, and a few minutes later they claimed they were just cleaning. But I hadn't checked out, and I had a 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the door! I strongly suspect they were trying to steal something and then colluded with the hotel to pretend it was a cleaning service. How else could they have 'checked me out' by default when I hadn't returned my room card or gotten my deposit back? There was no official checkout process! And they were completely unreasonable about it! They actually believed that canceling breakfast meant I was checking out! What kind of logic is that?! And they were unwilling to offer any compensation! Even with Trip.com customer service intervening, they remained rigid, sticking to their 'unreasonable' rules. If you have other options, absolutely do not stay here! 4. **Regarding the transport card:** You have to actively ask for it; if you don't, you won't get one. Unlike other hotels I've stayed at, they don't proactively email you or provide it in advance. Don't come! Don't come! Don't come! (That's three times, emphasizing its importance). It's not worth it. Don't come here; it will make you unhappy and severely impact your travel experience.

I spent two days at this hotel. I liked the location near the lake,the interesting design,and the delicious,varied breakfasts. The only thing that slightly detracted from my experience was the check in process: no one helped me with my luggage,and I am young petite woman. I had to carry my luggage to my room myself,and this was the first time I encountered such a situation in 27 countries. Overall ,everything was excellent,but I would have preferred a more attentive staff. I highly recommend this hotel.

Although I had bed bug bites and was uncertain whether I had gotten it in the hotel or the hotel before, there was no proper procedures, only a “it has not happened before” and an alleged check by a private hire. Although its likely to be from the hotel before, there was no attempts at remedy or assistance, which leads me to believe that customer service may not be the strength of the hotel. It was otherwise a good hotel, which would have garnered higher ratings if they were to treat certain problems more seriously. (There was also a stoppage of water during my stay which was by no means the fault of the hotel, but during that time, maybe water could be provided by the hotel for if customers do have the needs)
