 Poster: A snowHead
|
Evening all, Had a quick search but couldnt find anything totally relevant, even though im pretty sure I remember some people talking about this for last years eosb....
I need a hotel for one night in geneva, because I will be catching an early flight and public transport from tignes wouldn't get me there on time.
It needs to be near the airport, cheap, and have a bed...
Any reccomendations?
Cheers,
George

The cheapest and nearest, apart from the expensive airport hotels, is the Hotel Stars

It is right on the customs post at Ferney, cost is 55 euros/night, at a pinch you could walk to the airport in about 25 minutes but there is a bus service for a couple of euros.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I've stayed at the Ibis at GVA. Has shuttle minibus to/from airport on demand, which takes about 5 mins max. Bit pricier than Formule1 (part of same group), but a few more frills.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

unless you're hiring a car, the f1 joint could work out just as expensive by the time you add on taxis, a shutlle bus is a real bonus and if I did it again would be a pre-requisite

I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express a few weeks ago. It was about 110 euros but with free shuttle bus to and from the airport.

I recommend the Hotel Phoenix. Close to the airport, costs about Eur110 and you get a lift from the manager, even early in the morning. Its on an upper floor of an office block, so it feels different from a normal hotel, but rooms are clean and tidy, reasonably modern and for a single over-night stop it does the job well.

I got the price wrong for the Phoenix - its cheaper than I said (confused with Swiss francs and euros!) Have just checked the website http://www.hotel-phoenix.ch/phoenix_en/home_en.htm
So a room with bath or shower and wc is Eur87 and one with only a basin and facilities nearby off the corridor is only Eur 62. Such great value!

george_1, We had an overnight one year and stayed at the Hotel Cornavin at the central station. 30 metres to the station and good quality rooms, not the normal station red light type of area. Do not know the price but look it up a few minutes and you are at the airport. Would recommend to anyone, just do not know about prices though.
Have fun.
