ibis Styles Genève Palexpo Aéroport 3 gwiazdki

First Thank You YourLocalGP for the description on how to walk to hotel from airport. We would have never found it!!! The hotel is a good option for 1 night next to airport. What i did not appreciate is that we had to pay for parking just to offload the luggage out of our rental that we had to immediately return anyway The same exact setup is many other airports such as Brussels who will validate 10 min parking for luggage offload

Really conveniently located ten minutes from the airport on foot. Lovely new,clean, modern rooms, we would definitely return. Check in was easy as well as checkout we didn’t have to wait. We didn’t try the breakfast but the cafe looked nice.

This Ibis Styles is conveniently located beside the Palexpo and only a 5-7 minutes walk from the airport. Or indeed the bus stops right outside which can also take you to the airport in around 4 minutes. The Ibis budget is adjoining and indeed shares the same reception, the only difference being the lounge area, breakfast offering and rooms. However this may account for why the room rates are not significantly different. The reception area is lovely and well appointed with plenty of comfortable seating areas. This morphs into the breakfast/snack/bar dining area which again offers space for groups to meet, families to play or business meetings to occur. The check-in was swift and efficient. There was no upgrade for my Accor status which is understood in Ibis but a room with a view may have been appreciated. My room was well appointed and modern. The fixtures and fittings felt plush and have stood time well with no wear and tear. The bed was a large size with a comfortable mattress and range of pillows. The room was appointed with a TV, small desk and chair and that's about it. As is common with Ibis the wardrobes are open style but there was adequate storage. The room had a range of lighting options along with good bedside plugs and usb. The view was overlooking the side of the Palexpo so although a view of corrugated iron cladding, it did assure privacy. But I'm well aware the other side of the building has a nice view over a park area. The internet had good strength with around 12mbs speed. You need a password which can be found at reception. The bathroom was quite impressive with a large walk in shower and good modern fixtures. It was very nicely decorated and felt very plush. No breakfast is included in the rate but it is only a simple offering and money can be better spent in the food court of the airport. If you are visiting Geneva the trains leaving from the airport all pass through Geneva and you can avail of this on the free transport card. Overall this is a very pleasant hotel that represents the brand well. It is basic but not budget is good for a short stay in transit.

Sadly my company booked me into this hotel for over two weeks and it's awful. I've waited to write this because I formally complained last year several times about the dreadful treatment I received but having not received a reply it's best to warn others that if you arrive at a certain time the reception team are rude, arrogant and frankly the worst I've experienced and I spend 150 nights in hotels in various countries. And I'd not bother with the breakfast and the hygiene is at best questionable.

Our flight was cancelled at midnight and we were told to find our own hotel which we managed to do on-line. Because we did so after midnight we had actually booked for the next night! On arrival the very helpful staff sorted this and found us a room for the night. And they didn’t rip us off but charged the normal rate. Fantastic!! I will always try to stay in an Ibis when on the continent in future. On top of this the hotel was quiet and clean and a lovely breakfast.
