Ferney-Voltaire Hotels with Wi-Fi

I needed a hotel for one night, as my friends were picking up the next day to head to the ski resort. I took the 66 bus from the airport that drop me off six minutes away from the hotel. 45 min bus fr Geneva city centre. Lots of construction in the area. Pleasant hotel, lovely common area, very modern . The room has a kitchenette, which I found pleasantly surprising as I got to make tea and porridge in the morning. The toilet room is separate from the shower room, but that's OK, very spacious, and would love to stay there again .

The breakfast was unexpectedly rich, and the restaurant could be seen as a snow mountain. You can get a drink coupon when you stay in, and you can exchange a glass of beer or whiskey in the lobby bar. The rooms are generally decent, and it is good to stay one night as a transit.

The hotel is nicely located within Ferney-Voltaire with 5-minutes walk both from the F/66 bus stop at Rue de Jure or center of the town or Voltaire's house. I stayed at the room on the last floor with a lot of the fresh air and the only 'noise' from the birds. The room itself was clean with all necessary cooking facilities present. I definitely recommend this hotel compared to twice more expensive Geneve if one don't mind 30 minutes bus ride to 'Nations' in the morning.

The hotel is very near to Geneva Airport and it provide free parking at the hotel. The hotel reception is open 24/7 so if you are on a late flight, you will not have problem checking in late at night. There is a petrol station and supermarket nearby so it is very convenience. As this hotel is situated on the French side of Geneva, the price is more economical. The reception is efficient with the check in process.

So after paying Switzerland prices, I booked this hotel for one night before an early travel day. I was not expecting luxury, we just wanted a place to sleep. However, there was a slight odor of urine in our bathroom. If we had been there for more than 10 hours I would have requested to change rooms. I found this hotel after searching for an airport hotel. Please be sure to book the hotel shuttle service, because there are no Ubers (possibly because of crossing the border). The shuttle had 7 seats and picked up at another hotel so I am not sure what would have happened if we had not assessed the Uber situation the night before our flight. We were fortunate to be able to secure three spots. The shuttle was there on time and got to the airport quickly. The hotel is a bargain for the area and the breakfast looked plentiful (though we left so early we did not eat)

We arrived at 11pm, tired due to a long flight delay. We were hungry and no food was available. We asked the receptionist if we could just have a drink from the bar behind her. She said no. There was no apology. I explained that if we'd arrived at an Accor or Radisson hotel they be able to help us. She just shrugged her shoulders. She wouldn't even provide fresh milk for my wife to make a cup of tea in the room. The check in was also time consuming and complicated. I was asked to pay for the room on arrival. I did this using my American Express card. I was then bizarrely asked for a €250 deposit. The receptionist explained that while I could use Amex for the room the €250 could not be paid on Amex, so I had to pay this on a Visa. I'd paid for the room in full and in advance so why was I being asked for more money? I get a breakage deposit if you're staying a week at a fully equipped apartment but this was just a double room with a bathroom. We were offered breakfast in our welcome email at €8.50 each but this was charged at €29 for two on our departure. Despite the coffee machine not working and there being nothing hot to eat left at 9am. Not good. The room itself was very nice, shame about the staff and ludicrous check in deposit situation.

It's cheap, and it's not too far from the exhibition hall. The room is extremely small, just a place to sleep. Compared with the price of thousands of nights, it's much more affordable. It's really too small haha
