"This is a great, convenient hotel. We booked it for our last night in Switzerland, and the airport shuttle bus service was really handy. We arrived at the hotel from Geneva Airport train station, and it was a bit of a walk to the shuttle stop, but luckily there are plenty of buses right outside the train station. Just a heads-up, Swiss bus stops can be small and easy to miss. We got to the hotel around 10 AM, and the front desk staff kindly allowed us to check in early, which was a big plus. There's a light rail to the city, but I'd recommend taking the train instead – the light rail can get very crowded and quite smelly. Breakfast was good too; the sausages and scrambled eggs were tasty, and my mom especially liked the braised soybeans."
"Clean and hygienic, with convenient transportation and several supermarkets nearby. Breakfast is convenient, and the restaurant can be freely used in the evenings, making it perfect for small gatherings with friends. The room directly faces the Jura Mountains, offering excellent views of planes taking off and landing."
"This check-in and check-out procedures are all online, and it takes a lot of time to register online. Good location, very close to the old town, next to the Coop Department Store, there is a supermarket.
The room we were arranged this time was relatively small, and the overall cleanliness was not too good. And there is no air conditioning. There are 2 large windows overlooking the square."
"Stayed here for 2 nights and found it very convenient for exploring Geneva. The location is probably the biggest advantage — it’s only a short walk from the main train station, which made getting around and carrying luggage much easier. The room was practical and comfortable, and the Wi-Fi worked well. I also liked having the 24-hour snack service and bar available after coming back from a full day of sightseeing. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the free public transport provided for hotel guests was a really useful bonus. Overall, a convenient choice for a short city stay, especially if you plan to use the train and explore Geneva on foot."
"The location is convenient and check-in was quick. The cleanliness was also good. It's very easy to get around. If you email them in advance, they'll send you a free transport card, which works for most of the city's public transport. Saved a lot of money."
"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."
"Overall very warm, booked a double room with a kitchen. If you are not used to eating Western food, you can go to the supermarket to buy some food and come back to yourself. The disadvantage is that the front desk is not 24h service. We can't check out at the front desk because of the morning flight. The converter plug we borrowed is ready to be returned to the front desk, but no one. So I put it in the room. Later, the mail received the bill and directly charged us the cost of the conversion plug... Everyone returned to China, and it was no good to contact the hotel again. Can only be planted, but his morning croissant is very fresh and delicious!"
"Even though we arrived just before the check-in deadline, the hotel staff were incredibly kind and even gave us some chocolates. The hotel also had great facilities, including a gym and a sauna. The room was clean, comfortable, and very pleasant to stay in. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend this hotel."
"Couldn't believe how close it was to the train station, literally right outside the door – super convenient! The service was great too; they even gave us a free day pass, which made getting to the airport the next day really easy. There's a small balcony with a view of the big fountain. It's just two bus stops from Lake Geneva. Besides the slightly high price, everything else was perfect."
"The price can’t ask for a lot, the triple room, the space is very small, the most important thing is that the floor of the washing place has yellow things, not the stain is the tile, but it looks uncomfortable, the public toilet is very clean, but there is no The toilet is always inconvenient.
Breakfast was delivered to the room, very simple breakfast but not bad."
Very Good

Great
TTravelshortsI stayed at Hotel Suisse Geneva during my time in Geneva, and the standout feature of this hotel is its location. It is literally right across the road from the main train station, which makes it incredibly convenient whether you’re arriving by rail, heading to the airport, or planning day trips.
Being so close to the station also means excellent public transport connections, but what I found even more useful is that most of Geneva’s main sights are within easy walking distance. You can comfortably reach the lake, the Old Town, shops, and restaurants without needing to rely on transport, which makes exploring the city simple and efficient.
The hotel itself is comfortable and practical, with clean rooms and everything you need for a short city stay. It’s not overly luxurious, but it’s well maintained and does the job perfectly if you’re planning to spend most of your time out exploring Geneva.
Because of its central location, it’s a great choice for both short stays and stopovers. It also works particularly well if you have an early train or a tight schedule, as you don’t need to factor in extra travel time to get to the station.
I would highly recommend Hotel Suisse Geneva for anyone prioritising convenience and location. If you want to be right in the centre of everything with excellent transport links, it’s a very practical and reliable choice.
GGuest UserQuite convenient, close to the airport. Their shuttle runs reliably but you can also walk to the airport main building, it’s a 10min walk.
What’s convenient is the airport and train station are integrated and the Palexpo exhibition center is also reachable easily.
Their shuttle runs hotel rooms are fine, very clean and the staff were friendly.
GGuest UserThis hotel is really great, one of the best I've stayed at in Switzerland. The location is excellent, right next to the train station. If you have luggage, this is definitely the place to stay; otherwise, you could consider somewhere a bit further out.
GGuest UserОтель понравился. Расположение удобное - в середине между старым городом и набережной озера, можно дойти пешком. Номер просторный с большим балконом. Девушка на ресепшен (русскоязычная), очень помогла нам - нашла программу фестиваля на который мы приехали и была очень благожелательна. Завтрак приличный (омлет, блины, фрукты, сыры). Из минусов - очень скромный, даже аскетичный и старомодный интерьер, хотя кровать удобная. В целом, за свои деньги хороший отель.
GGuest UserThis is my third stay at this hotel. Its location is fantastic, being just a 1-2 minute walk from the lake. The No. 15 bus stop is also a short stroll away. It's only two stops from the train station, or a pleasant 10-15 minute walk, which is convenient even with luggage. The UN headquarters are also just two stops away. The hotel provides free public transport passes, making getting around exceptionally easy. You'll find Lidl and Coop supermarkets just one stop away.
The hotel breakfast features delicious homemade bread and croissants. While the selection isn't vast, everything is truly delicious, and you can smell the wonderfully fresh aroma starting as early as 5 AM each morning.
The price was very reasonable for Geneva, and the room also comes with a kitchen, perfect if you prefer to cook your own meals. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied to have found such a great place in a city like Geneva!
Ssammi1979I've been in Europe for half a month, and this is truly the best hotel experience I've had so far. Yesterday, when I was changing hotels, I arrived a bit early, around 11 AM, and they had a room available and let me check in early. That night, I got a fever due to my personal constitution. The next day, the hotel agreed to a 2-hour late check-out. After checking out, I was resting in the lobby, and an auntie who was cleaning saw I wasn't feeling well. She pushed two sofas together so I could lie down and rest, and I slowly started to feel better. Being sick and uncomfortable abroad is truly a fear.
GGuest UserThe location is pretty convenient, and it is a surprise that before checking in, a public traffic ticket will be sent via email. Btw, the self-check-in process is quick and simple. It's indeed a good experience! My friend likes the hotel's breakfast very much. Five stars!
JJR.PINI recently spent 8 nights at the InterContinental Genève. Overall, my stay was comfortable, and there were several aspects worth mentioning. The room was quite spacious—especially for a solo traveler like me—which made it easy to settle in and relax during a longer stay. However, the décor felt a bit outdated, and there were areas with noticeable dust, which affected the overall impression of cleanliness.
Housekeeping visited the room every day, which I appreciated, but despite the daily service, the room still wasn’t as clean as I would expect from a hotel of this standard—particularly for an 8-night stay.
Most of the front desk staff were wonderful. They were polite, attentive, and professional, and their warm service truly enhanced the experience. Unfortunately, there was one exception: a female staff member wearing thick black glasses. Her tone and attitude were not very pleasant, and her facial expressions made the interaction feel uncomfortable, which contrasted sharply with the excellent service from the rest of the team.
In summary, while the spacious room—perfect for someone staying alone—and the generally outstanding service were definite positives, the outdated décor, dust, and inconsistent staff attitude are areas that could be improved. My 8-night stay was overall decent, but there is room for improvement to meet the level of quality expected from a hotel in this category.

GGuest UserThe hotel is new and right in the city center, but the ergonomics leave a lot to be desired. In the shower, the water pressure and temperature can't be adjusted; it's barely warm, even though there's hot water at the sink. The power outlet in the capsule bed is in an awkward spot, poking you in the side. There's no kettle. The details aren't well thought out, but otherwise, it's good value for money.
