3-Star Hotels in Geneva

Location: 15-20 minutes walk from the train station, about 10 minutes walk from the Palais des Nations. The nearby streets are relatively clean, and although it is on the street, it is generally quiet. Facilities: The hotel as a whole looks old-fashioned, and the room door key is also traditional, and you have to manually lock the door when entering and exiting. The internal facilities of the room should be relatively new and renovated, and the washbasin is a bit small. The windows can be opened for ventilation. There is no kettle in the room, and the mini bar needs to be paid for separately. Breakfast service: The breakfast is relatively simple, with freshly ground coffee. The staff is also quite enthusiastic.

Close to SBB. Easy to access. Clean and helpful. Good environment. Kids are happy. Close to migros and walking distance to town area. Starbuck is just the foot of the street. Find evrything around the hotel. Love and will come back here again.

This hotel boasts an **excellent location**, within walking distance of both Lake Geneva and the train station, making it perfect for travelers wanting to explore the city center efficiently. The rooms maintain the brand's usual cleanliness and comfort; although compact, they are well-equipped and the service is warm. The complimentary transport card was a pleasant surprise and greatly facilitated getting around the city. As a high-value option by the lake, the stay here was very smooth, making it an ideal choice for first-time visitors to Geneva.

Hotel was immaculately clean and smelt lovely, room was perfect, location was great, right in the heart of Geneva with easy access to train stations/bus stations and activity pick up points, nice chocolate shop underneath the hotel, with a McDonald’s and a wine and cheese restaurant. Although the breakfast buffet was all cold food baring boiled eggs, however choice was great, staff very attentive. Overall would recommend this hotel to anyone, cheap enough for Geneva and couldn’t fault it personally.

Отель 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.

Given the high cost of living in Switzerland's second-largest city, the hotel was a pleasant surprise. The room amenities were quite complete, with slippers, toothpaste, and toothbrushes all provided. It was very convenient, very clean, and the room was quite large. The breakfast was the best I've had in Switzerland and Paris, with a particularly rich and delicious selection of fruit.

The room was spacious and very clean, with excellent facilities. The hotel's location is perfect, close to both the train station and Geneva's attractions. We had a very comfortable stay. The front desk staff, especially the lady at the counter, was exceptionally nice and provided great service. Overall, a fantastic experience.

I went a day earlier to confirm my stay with the hotel. They couldn't find my booking. I showed them my confirmation on my phone. I was told that they can see my confirmation number but no payment was made by trip.com. They assured me that such has happened before and told me to be on the safe guard book another room as a standby. They assured me that they will not swipe my card until matter is resolved. That assurance made me check in. I kept coming to the front office every now and then and I was told it was resolved. Only on the last night I was told that by Trip.com of the error in the address. In the meantime the hotel had swiped my card. Surprisingly they did not honour the feedbacks I gave to Hotel Montana Geneve and Hotel Montana Zurich. There was no email to apologise for the oversight and delay in handling. I went to the hotel one day earlier to check, they could have attended to it and not confidently putting the blame on trip.com since there has been previous incidents where [ayment was not received. I thought Hotel Montana group could have handled this matter better. Quite disappointing.

Great location, easily accessible via bus from Geneva airport. Hotel is linked to a mall with many options for food from restaurants to McDonald's to food court. Clean and nice room.
