What People are saying
Standard Ibis, poor maintainance

Very close to Geneva, 3 km from the main south border with Switzerland and 10 minutes walking from a shopping centre. Easy to find with a GPS.
Typical Ibis: clean, small bathroom, no hand towel, good bed, small room, no safety box, no mini bar, acceptable air-conditioning, good free WiFi, sufficient open air free carpark space inside the property, slow lift, friendly staff. Poor tv channels selection. For 59 euros a double room, the value for money is OK, specially considering the hotels prices in Geneva
Dogs are accepted for 8 euros per night
The continental breakfast buffet had short variety but good quality por 9 euros per person is a bit pricey.
The hotel is rather tired and definitely needs an update.
Business stay

I have been in this hotel before several times. I am a sales manager and always stay in an Ibis hotel, except if there's none close enough or if it exceeds my budget. I have the Ibis Cards. The Ibis hotel in Archamps was more than half an hour driving from my first appointment the day after but I went there as I am generally always very satisfied with the Ibis hotels. Arriving in an Ibis hotel is like coming home : the room and bed are very good, the bathroom is OK, mostly there's a parking and restaurant and the Wifi works well. It was however disappointing the see the menu card in the restaurant. There was a limited choice - the menu card was not inviting. I'm not asking to put a chef in the kitchen of the restaurant. As a sales manager, when you've arrived in the hotel, after having finished the work you still have to do, it's nice to go to the restaurant in the hotel and find tasteful dishes. Last week I was also in an Ibis in Chambéry. There the main dishes were really sad. As main courses, you had focaccia, risotto, macaroni and a fourth dish which I don't remember, so no real "inviting" food. No meat, no fish ... Few people in that restaurant and I heard one after the other asking for a salad. I go to all Ibisses in France and I love them. The french cuisine is the best in the world. Ibis can do better than what they do in some of their restaurants.
Just for the sleepover

Hotel is situated right beside highway, across Gaumont studio. Taxi is the only possible connection to the Geneva in case you don't have your own car. Rooms are small & humble like boat cabins, but ok it's a budget hotel. Hotel bar gets vivacious late in the afternoon & especially during dinner time. Suprisingly food is very good & tasteful.
Good hotel near Geneve

Nice and quiet hotel just outside Geneve.Good wifi and esay to connect. Breakfast also excellent with a good variety, but lacks bacon/sausages but with a very smart egg-boiler for soft-boiled eggs. Free parking behind bars.
Run down and unhygienic

The many bad reviews did not mean any good for this hotel. As Accor Gold Card Member, I thought it cannot be as bad. Geneva was almost fully booked because of the automobile salon and hotels are selling their rooms at scandalously high prices. The Ibis with € 100 was still affordable. The hotel is located on the highway in direction of the Mont Blanc, South of Geneva, in France.
The hotel has 84 rooms, of which allegedly only 21 rooms are non-smoking. This hotel does not meet the usual Ibis standard, except by the room size. Room #324 was not clean, except the bed which was OK. The bathroom was unhygienic and unacceptably dirty. The washbasin was cracked, the floor with stains, especially under the sink and around the toilet. The walls had watermarks. The pictures tell their own story.
The air conditioning was full of dust, at the writing desk in the corner near the telephone was a black crust. The lock to the bathroom door was removed and not replaced.
Only the breakfast for € 9.90 was acceptable, but the resupply didn't work. The hotel has a small restaurant, but considering the rooms, I did not want to venture in the hotel food.
After the first night, I left my luggage for a couple of hours while looking for another hotel. Even the luggage room was messy. The hotel is in need of a total renovation and should be closed. It is not offering the slightest option for a comfortable stay in a hygienic environment.
