Not at ALL close to airport as advertised.

Lovely and helpful staff.
Did not help the room that felt like an oven when we walked in. If it is that hot and you have NO air conditioner at least leave a window open or CLOSE THE BLINDS!!!!
We wanted an hotel close to the airport. On a Sunday all we got was a hotel removed from everything in a not great area.

It was very nice hotel with good amenities, including a wonderful breakfast buffet. It was a little far from downtown Geneva, but I highly recommend coming to the hotel first in order to receive your public transportation pass so you can explore much more of the city.

Do Not Stay in this Hotel in a Street Side Room

This was a small hotel with a great staff, clean but small rooms, located in a suburban area of Geneva, moderately priced. But our stay there was miserable because our room was so stuffy that we had to sleep with the window open and the traffic noise was unbearable. We arrived here directly from the U.S. and were jet lagged - we never caught up with our sleep because of the traffic noise - after four nights here we were absolutely exhausted. Do not stay here unless you can get a room on the garden side - NOT the street side.

Nice little hotel

Great little hotel, good value, conveniently located to surrounding tech and watch companies. Breakfast is a bit high for what you get, but this is Geneva. Rooms are quite clean and nice. Only drawback is there is no AC - and it was VERY hot during my stay. But the temperature is atypical as I understand, so usually AC not needed.

Had a pleasant stay

I stayed at the hotel for 5 nights and everything was great.. The Staff are very friendly & helpful; they assist u in all ur needs, plus offer u a free card for all the transportation in Geneva.. The room was spacious with excellent shower; always clean. . The hotel is cozy & friendly with a great antique collection of the old equipments that make watches.. The bus station is right infront of the hotel, coop supermarket at the back of the hotel & only takes couple of minutes to bell-air city center.. I highly recommend this affordable, friendly & cozy Hotel :)
Would go there again :)

Horlogers - not close to City Center

Once we got to the hotel (thinking it was close to train and City Center), we were fine with the hotel. It is not close and our taxi was rather expensive getting there. You can get there from the train via bus but you have to change a few times and we weren't up for that. The hotel staff was very friendly and very helpful, the hotel was quiet. Our room was a little close, the ceiling angled and if you weren't careful walking around, you could hit your head. There are several good restaurants close by. We took the bus to the Geneva airport in the morning, about a 15 minute walk. No problem

Nice Little suburb hotel

Great bargain

Not cheap overall, but relatively speaking for Geneva, very cheap. Bus stop is right outside the hotel - one bus to town center. Easy, and free with public transport pass from the hotel. Also, any traffic on the main road could barely be heard in the hotel room. I booked a single room, but got a double. Room was spotless, nice bathroom, great shower. Breakfast was typical continental fare, plenty of choice although a bit pricey. Service was excellent, very friendly helpful staff. Very happy with my stay. Thank you!

The hotel is fantastic. Located in a good area with super markets and restaurants close by. Great customer service. Great breakfast bar too. Very clean rooms. Good transport systems also as there are buses runnin to the city center directly. But if driving, you may have a problem parking as the hotel doesnt have a car park. Non the less plenty of areas to park near by

Hotel in quiet neighbourhood in Geneva

Hotel is a bit far from the city center, but the hotel grants a free transportation card, and busses and trams are near the hotel. The room was very clean and with an original decor - part of a clock museum. Stayed at a single room, and it had everything needed, but it was a bit narrow and would have appreciated more place. Breakfast was good - buffet including granula, branflakes, cheese, cold meat, fruit, juice and yogourts.

Das Zimmer war wie letztes Mal nicht so winzig, es hatte 2 Einzelbetten. Schade, dass es nicht alle TV Programme zu sehen gab. Dies sollte im Digitalen Zeitalter möglich sein. Wir vermissten SRF2, ZDF und beide ORFs. Das Zimmer war etwas kühl was vor allem an den leicht undichten Fenstern lag. Wir buchen dieses Hotel jedes Jahr für 2 Nächte, da wir in der Nähe zu tun haben. Da gibt es gar keine Alternative in der Nähe (für OeV Benutzer).

Circulez il n'y a rien a voir.

trop cher ( 143 frs.) pour un établissement mal placé , le bruit de la route ne permet pas de dormir même la fenêtre fermé , la chambre côté jardin (170 Frs. ) pourrait être la solution si vraiment vous y devez séjourner ! autrement le service est pratiquement inéxistant , dans le frigo deux verres mais pas l'ombre d'eau ou autre , la moquette années 80 n'est pas le top pour la qualité de l'aire que l'on y respire .
Point positif , la litterie est de très bonne qualité , en conclusion nous allons choisir une autre location pour les prochaines visites parents.
