I liked that the room was a comfortable temperature. The bathroom was clean and sufficient. We were able to walk 15-20 min to a place to eat for dinner. We only needed to stay for one night as we were leaving for an early flight the next morning. Super easy to check out, just drop your key on the way out, and then walk 10 minutes or so to the airport.

Bus driver dropped me off a mile away from the correct hotel. I had to pay a cab to find the right place. It is NOT walking distance from the airport.

Stayed for a short time before our flight. Hotel is very close to airport, accessible by foot and bus. Rooms look very modern/new, very clean. Excellent value for money. Rooms are very small. This is great place to stay if you have a extended layover.
Suggestions for improvement:
I did have small snag with the checkin as they didn't send me the transit pass before the checkin. We came through Bus from different city, so without the transit pass, it was hassle to get to the hotel. We messaged the hotel, and they didn't respond. Upon checkin, we got our transit pass.

Perfect for quick /short stay
We stayed twice at beginning and end of TMB trek. Great access to transportation for getting in/out of town, AND easy to get downtown in Geneva. Hotel was quiet even though planes, trains, and automobiles!! Super nice staff.

“Near” airport.
Very simple hotel. Cute decor. Pleasant staff and atmosphere. There is a bus stop - strongly recommended taking a bus to the terminal. It’s quite a trek!
The only downfall…it’s near the airport not at the airport. GVA doesn’t have any in terminal hotels. Be aware if traveling with lots of luggage or skis.
