Hotels Near Gare des Eaux-Vives in Geneva

Old hotel, on the roadside, with many flags at the door, easy to find. Not easy to park, need to look for it. I parked my car in a nearby blue line parking space, and was fined 40 Swiss francs for too long, which is considered as parking fee. The room is not big, with a coffee machine, there are 3 Chinese restaurants across the street, and there are also many Italian restaurants, and there is a big supermarket next to it. It is close to Lake Geneva on foot, and you can stroll by the lake, which is very pleasant

The room was small, especially the shower part. Very nice staff at the reception

Good little hotel Usual bugbear I still expect linen to be changed daily, bugger the planet. If you do not discount, change the sheets. I do not use the same sheets 3 days running at home. Greenwash

Best location if you are willing to catch an early train at Geneva Airport, clean bed and toilet facilities to let you relax and recover quickly if you are taking a long trip.

The Geneva Marriott is an attractive, contemporary hotel located roughly near the airport, and since the shuttle doesn't run that often, you might be better off making the walk, as I did. For me it was a matter of some 20 minutes, but depending on your starting point at the airport, it could easily be less. Much closer to the hotel is the quite large Balexert shopping mall at 7 or 8 minutes' walk. The center of town can be also be walked to, as the way is rather straightforward, though it is noticeably farther than the airport, making the trams that stop very close to the hotel an option. Of course you will have to ask for your free Geneva public transport card, as the hotel makes no mention of these at its own initiative. I liked the fact that I was offered a late checkout immediately on arrival. I didn't like hearing that breakfast is available to platinum Marriott Rewards members in the executive lounge only, a marked departure from standard practice elsewhere in Europe - not just at Marriotts, but also, for example, at their large American competitor also located near the airport. As it was, when I was ready for breakfast on the morning of my one-night stay, it turned out that something had gone wrong and as a consequence, breakfast was offered only in the restaurant. The assortment there was between good and very good, which I'm sure wouldn't have been the case in the lounge. The lounge had already disappointed the previous evening. I went shortly before 18:00 just to make sure that food would still be available when I was expecting to have the time, just after 19:00. The employee said yes, but there was virtually nothing left when returned; she might have had the courtesy to mention that they would stop replenishing dishes, but this would have required some thought from the guest's perspective. The gym was not so great, either; from a large and modern Marriott I'd expect better. All in all, acceptable, but if breakfast in the lounge is as meager as I suspect, then I would probably not favor this property.

Good points: - Modern hotel with spacious rooms. - Better priced than Geneva hotels. - Short walk from station, for trains to Geneva. - Kettle in room. Bad points: - In an area where there is a lot of external noise during the night. - While you have until 12:00 to leave your room, if you stay beyond 10:00 the cleaners start knocking at your door asking you when you are leaving, even if you have a do not disturb notice up. - Breakfast selection is limited. - They advertise a food counter service and bar but it's just basically a few tables and two fridges filled with items you'd normally find in a vending machine e.g. drinks, crisps, chocolate bars.

Not a bad little hotel. The hotel itself is not all that interesting, but at least the room was clean. The man on the front desk was helpful. Not sure if they speak English or not since I only spoke French with them. Close by you have a number of restaurants. And you can walk to everything within minutes. There is a cafe/bar to the left, Les Salles Gossses that gets fairly acrive on a weekend. To the right there is a burger place 99 Street Burgers open late, and during the daytime, walk down the street to the right and there is a big square, Place de l'Hotel de Ville with an old-time carousel, and several restaurants. As a stopover on the way to/from Geneva, it's a reasonable option. One negative point though it is minor: this hotel does inexplicably take a 100 euro deposit pre-authorised on credit card. This is a bit ridiculous as there is nothing in the room is worth 100 euros.

This hotel takes distance with normal french brands. It looks like more European hotels with all services that they announced. The room is adequate for a comfortable host. The amenities and towers were enough for each guest. The breakfast was plenty and quality. The staff was friendly and professional.

Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit eigener Dusche. Zimmer und Dusche war sehr sauber. Das Zimmer war klein, zu dem Preis und für eine Nacht aber absolut ok. Es hat eine Mikrowelle und im Automat beim Eingangsbereich hat es 2 verschiedene Mikrowellen Menues wie auch verschiedene Getränke die gekauft werden können. Freundliches Personal.
