ibis Geneve Centre Lac

"A very nice Ibis with clean attractive rooms and extras you dont expect at Ibis (coffee machine). Price is great for Geneva. Location is both close to station and the lake. Close to some very chic hotels BUT on a very grotty street with prostitutes working openly. Not a problem but explains why the rates are so good? First Hotel that I have ever seen that charges to hold your bags after checkout. Baggage storage isn’t cheap in Switzerland, and it’s definitely a thingto pay. But I’ve never seen that anywhere in the world at a hotel for guests"

"Nice Ibis hotel, basic of course, clean, with lovely staff, who are very overstretched at times. There is not even a hairdryer in the room, you have to ask at reception. However, why did Accord think it was ok to open two hotels (there is a Novotel almost next door) in the designated red light district of Geneva? Maybe I’m old fashioned, but I found it uncomfortable having ‘working women’ on every corner around the hotel, and obvious brothels as neighbours. Lovely multicultural area, with great Lebanese restaurants, but I learnt more about the Swiss sex industry than I really wanted to know…"

"Last minute travel decision and the price and location was perfect. Friendly check-in, room was perfect for me, no frills. All refurbished, the ugly out, all new modern design in. Powerful shower, comfortable bed and pillows. I TELL YOU WHAT LITTLE DETAIL made me happy: free hot chocolate and coffee station in the lobby. This is such a plus in any hotel. They sell water and drinks downstairs. If i were to nitpick i’d say the hairdryers are crap. I last saw one of those wall ones back in the dinosaur era. Other than this, a perfect stay"
