Ibis Genève Petit Lancy

Pleasantly surprised by the convenient location and friendly service. Basic room, but clean and spacious enough for a solo traveller. Convenient location for public transport links to airport and city centre.

For my first ever Geneva trip, I was looking for something within budget and I think I may have been drawn to this hotel's name as such ! The location regards the city centre and transport links are outstanding and there is a nearby Migros supermarket plus a shopping centre. UberEats do deliver to the hotel too. The hotel sent me my digital Geneva Travel Card for free public transport, 24 hours before I arrived. I would recommend to keep a printed copy in case internet access fails. Myself and my Brothers arrived on the day of my Birthday and were warmly welcomed by Florian and Tarek and offered welcome/birthday juices. This was a really nice touch. Upon entering the room, Manager Lise had arranged a beautiful birthday suprise in my room as you will see in the photos and also slippers ! And I was really touched by the improvised image of the Jet D'Eau fountain in the window - talk about a room with a "view" The staff are exceptionally friendly and very warm and caring towards all guests. Secure luggage storage is available. Please note that due to a local law, tilt and turn window handles are removed but are available from reception if you need to open the window in the summer. Portable fans are also available - be warned if you have a room facing the trees in the back, insects will come to greet you in your room as there is no netting on the window. Spacious Washrooms are available on the -1 floor near reception, as the toilets in the rooms are tiny. The rooms themselves are very very compact and if space is important to you, then this probably is not the right accomodation for you. I would return but to the Ibis part of the hotel.

The hotel is nice and located in a quiet suburb of Geneva. The room was small but well appointed and breakfast was great! The only thing that the hotel needs a major improvement with is the cleaning of bathrooms. We stayed for three days and the bathroom was never properly cleaned. I would not stay at this hotel again on account of this.
