Check in process was a little slow, the receptionist was answering the phone while trying to do our check in. On the other side everything else was good, perfect cleaning, nice decoration like Ibis is used to have, and overall friendly staff. Breakfast was also nice.

Dear Guest, Thank you for the great review of our hotel! We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again very soon. Sincerely, Céline Lauzy

Not thrilled

Anonymous Couples - 29/11/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

The worst part was that the A/C seemed to not work or be very weak, we turned it as cold as it would go but it hardly changed the feel of the room. The window did open, but the sounds of the people on the street below are incredibly loud day and night-- I'm not sure what is across the street but there are always people yelling and playing music unfortunately. The room was very cramped and the decor was dark, with the walls painted darkly, which did not give off a very pleasant feel! The design of the room was odd and was overall disappointing. If you're booking, also note that there is no fridge or teapot. However, staff was very nice!

Dear Mr S., Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While I wish you had a better experience, it is feedback like this that we learn from and use to improve. We work hard to deliver an exceptional guest experience, and it's apparent in this case that we fell short. The A/C is now off as it is 0°C outside, the thermostat needs to be on 0 if you don't want heating. If you give us a chance to earn back your trust, I can assure you that we will do our best to give you the great hotel experience that so many of our guests have grown so fond of. Sincerely, Céline Lauzy General Manager

Well placed for transport

Gavlar Business - 29/11/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Two reasonable nights here. The hotel has a good location for public transport and the Airport. The immediate location has all the sights and sounds of a highly multicultural area - a region that never sleeps. The room itself was perfectly clean but missing some fundamentals like Do Not Disturb signs and tea/coffee facilities. The heating was permanently cranked to max, requiring the windows to be opened to make it habitable, a painful trade off with then allowing in the aforementioned street ambience in the small hours. Also - the pillows are not for those who like head support while they sleep. All in all, tolerable for the price but only book if you are happy to compromise on this.

Well located

Ar Business - 01/11/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Although my late check-in the room that was given was an used one - very bad start. The carpet in the room was very dirty, the toilet was not properly cleaned there was hair of man shaving on the washbasin. There was no food available in the bar only a supermarket package with curry. Breakfast was poor. The woman in the front desk was not helpful when i asked to cancel my reservation to the following days.

Fair to low services

khodord Business - 30/08/2021 TripAdvisor review

Check in was great. The cleaning service was not really good. Bathroom really needs attention but seems they don’t report or care about it. Breakfast is okay but dinner options are not great at all but the street is full of good options. As a ALL member you will be treated just as a non — they are so fair ;-).

Short break in Geneva

CHvoyageur 24/07/2021 TripAdvisor review

The hotel is well-situated, within easy walking distance of the lake, the station and the town. The rooms are standard Ibis, mine was in very good condition. The staff were friendly and helpful, the price quite reasonable. The breakfast was minimalist, but I suppose the Covid restrictions influence this.

Dear Guest, Many thanks for posting your comments. We appreciate all feedback very much and the team and I look forward to welcoming you back at ibis Genève Centre Lac. Kind regards, Merouane General Manager

Quite average

Samimouannes2020 Family - 05/01/2020 TripAdvisor review

Average hotel below expectations Small rooms Acceptable location due to proximity to main train station Staff lack expertise in dealing with clients. Didnt feel at all that i have a priviledge of an Accor platinum card membership.
