Hotels near Downtown, Geneva

Very good stay exceeded my expectations. Very close to geneva airport and 15 mins to city center with the tram. Will stay here again if i ever visit geneva again!

Superbly strategic location just across the Geneva train station and is only 7 mins with the train to airport.. quite a lot of shops & eateries nearby.. about 8 mins walk to cross the lake as well... though it is near to the main road where buses, trams & cars but was too tired to hear anything.. room wise quite alright for 2 pax with 2 luggages

Front desk staffs are super friendly and attentive. There is a complimentary transport card that can redeem from Trip.com or at the hotel itself. Overall is good stay for a night at Geneva.

nice location & easy public transporation access.

Perfect i every way. Reliable shuttle bus to & from airport. Lovely clean room. Nice bar & restaurant. Would recommend!

I love this room. Great location. The rooms comes with separated kitchen. Full bathroom with bathtub. The receptionist are very friendly. The room is newly renovated with modern style. The kitchen comes with all necessary utensils and coffee machine. You need to buy your own coffee beans tho. Will definitely choose Adagio Aparthotel for my next trip.

Great stay , comfortable beds and lovely environment, would recommend

The rooms are very good. The train arrived in Geneva at midnight, and the taxi drove to Geneva in just over ten minutes. Even if you arrive late at night, the front desk staff is very welcoming. You need to pay to sit in the area on the first floor. The bathroom on the first floor is great!

I had a wonderful stay at the Green Marmot Hotel. The location is excellent,close to plenty of shops, restaurants, bars, pharmacies, and bakeries, so everything you need is nearby. The hotel itself is very clean throughout. Although the room is small, just as described, it suited me perfectly. One downside is that sound travels easily, so you can hear even minor noise from neighbouring rooms, earplugs are definitely helpful. The motion-sensor lights in the corridor were also a bit disruptive, as I’m easily woken by light, so an eye mask is recommended. Additionally, some guests arrive late, so it can get a little noisy. Overall, I would highly recommend staying here.
