Perfect i every way. Reliable shuttle bus to & from airport. Lovely clean room. Nice bar & restaurant. Would recommend!

I had an excellent stay at Hotel Warwick. The location is truly unbeatable, with the train station just a few steps away—perfect for easy and convenient travel around the city. We were also pleasantly surprised and very grateful for the early check-in, which made our arrival much more comfortable. The staff were exceptionally professional and attentive, always ready to help with a warm attitude. Our room was spotless, well-maintained, and provided a cozy space to relax after a long day. Overall, Hotel Warwick exceeded our expectations with its strategic location, thoughtful service, and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended.

The rooms are very good. The train arrived in Geneva at midnight, and the taxi drove to Geneva in just over ten minutes. Even if you arrive late at night, the front desk staff is very welcoming. You need to pay to sit in the area on the first floor. The bathroom on the first floor is great!

It is Ok distance to the airport (although physically near you have to get the bus/shuttle as there is a highway in between). It is quite cheap for Geneva.

Great stay , comfortable beds and lovely environment, would recommend

nice location & easy public transporation access.

Hotel very comfy, in front the train station, we loved stay here, we got a room in front of the river with a amazing view! Staff very friendly

I love this room. Great location. The rooms comes with separated kitchen. Full bathroom with bathtub. The receptionist are very friendly. The room is newly renovated with modern style. The kitchen comes with all necessary utensils and coffee machine. You need to buy your own coffee beans tho. Will definitely choose Adagio Aparthotel for my next trip.

I had a wonderful stay at the Green Marmot Hotel. The location is excellent,close to plenty of shops, restaurants, bars, pharmacies, and bakeries, so everything you need is nearby. The hotel itself is very clean throughout. Although the room is small, just as described, it suited me perfectly. One downside is that sound travels easily, so you can hear even minor noise from neighbouring rooms, earplugs are definitely helpful. The motion-sensor lights in the corridor were also a bit disruptive, as I’m easily woken by light, so an eye mask is recommended. Additionally, some guests arrive late, so it can get a little noisy. Overall, I would highly recommend staying here.
