One of the staff was rude and very reluctant to show the services, with attitude. She seemed to be racist and she also gossiped to the manager and I witnessed that.
The others were fine, but the particular one ruined the whole stay and I won't come back to this hotel because of that lady. The gym was not in the hotel, but you have to go to another place, no direction, and the photos are deceptive. No mini bar or refrigerator, towels seem worn out, and the breakfast was not good

Basic hotel but clean, friendly, really good breakfast. Beware the bathrooms have frosted glass “walls” so you can see the outline of your roommate(s) showering etc…

This is a hotHELL. The worst hotel we’ve stayed in: no AC but a portable supposedly AC that is so NOISY we hardly slept. (Geneva law supposedly bans AC but a big fan would have been better or a modern unit without this huge pipe which pushes hot air out!)
Bathroom door has no locks
No night tables but a small cavity to put your belongings.
The plugs are tricky. The only good thing is the response from the receptionist who tried. AVOID this hotHELL by no means. Oh no parking either..

Solid hotel. The staff was friendly, room was clean, shower was great, balcony was nice. The glass water bottle provided to take fresh tasty drinkable water from the tab was lovely.
The location is a little off the center. And the Expedia VIP service was nearly not existing. It’s more like a good 3-star hotel rather than 4-star.
I liked my stay all in all.
4.0
The staff was friendly, efficient and knowledgable. The rooms were small and spare. The location is convenient for city walking and access to local restaurants, but not picturesque. The only down side was the second hand smoke which can in from the neighboring balconys. This made us close our windows when we would have otherwise kept them open.

I didn't get to go. My mother got sick. I tried to postpone it until January. The hotel declined.

Overall it was a good stay for 2 nights. It was clean and neat. It was nice that the reception asked us when should the housekeeping clean the room.
The semi transparent glass wall between the room and bathroom was not what we expected.

A decent, very basic hotel (it's very similar to a Premier Inn style of hotel). Good enough value for the price.
You had to get the buses or trams to any of the attractions but there was plenty of public transport nearby the hotel.
I expected better from one of Expedia's VIP hotels, relatively it's probably the worst VIP one I've been to and you didn't get any VIP perks anyway.

Home Swiss has a very contemporary feel and is tucked just next to the center of Geneva’s buzzing art scene and a 10 minute walk from the lake. The neighborhood is more residential in nature this affords the need serenity after a long day of walking the busy street of Geneva. Service wise the hotel staff really went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible that really made our short stay very memorable and pleasant.

I had an amazing stay at the hotel. Friendly and helpful staff. It felt like I was in a family based on the treatment of staff. I will go back to the property every time I visit Geneva.

Good location convenient for the old town and lake (15/20min walk tops). Close to public transport links and you get a transport card on checking in for the duration of your stay. Lots of nice bars and restaurants/coffee shops about five minutes walk away. Hotel itself clean and comfortable. Modern fittings and good sized rooms. Staff were always very helpful. A great stay

I have 20+ years of travelling with 20+ hotel stays / year and I never had to pay an extra for a 2nd person (apart from hostels). Regarding the rest, at Ibis standard, a few things better, a few things worse.

2.0
Located within 15-30 minutes walk from most attractions, close proximity to public transportation and several restaurants nearby.
Hotel offers continental breakfast and a complementary gym in the nearby office building (06:30am-10pm).
The room I got (501) was extremely small. Bed width and some wall to wall. No cabinet. Hangers off of the wall is all there is. No iron or board (but can borrow from reception). Private bathroom. Small but ok for a single Busines traveler with a trolley. No room for a suitcase. May be challenging for couples. Looking at the floor plan other rooms may be bigger (wider) and thus may be more suitable for couples with luggage.
Reception is open 6:30am-11pm. Late arrivals have to call a number to receive an access code and pick up their key. Not sure of the process for checkout at odd hours...
This is the second time I'm staying at this hotel for a business trip. No aircon in the hotel. Apparently this is state law... They do offer a noisy portable aircon that was able to keep the room temperature within my comfort zone but the noise may be annoying.
Bed was comfy. Maintenance good. Free WiFi. No parking. They do offer a complementary ticket to Geneva public transportation (busses, trams) for the duration of the stay.

It's a decent hotel. Nothing fancy. Good room but it lacks air-conditioning. They had a super noisy portable device where you had to have the window open in order to get the tube out of the room. Without it the room was super hot. So you either had to withstand the horrible noise or suffer through the insane warm weather.
The bathroom smelled of mold but it was clean overall. The ventilation there is probably not enough.
Breakfast was absolutely bare. For 18 euros per day for the breakfast alone I expected a lot more. I've eaten much nicer breakfasts on fewer stars hotels and it was included with the price.
They do provide you though with a phone which you can take with you around the city. This is very handy since you can use it to make free calls wherever in the world and you can also use it to navigate around the city. It beats paying for super expensive roaming charges.
Wifi was also fast and didn't have to jump through hoops to connect all of my devices.
It's not a bad hotel by any means but for a 4 star hotel I expected a bit more.
2.0
Very nice stay and very clean and efficient. No restaurant or real bar area (although you could order a drink or coffee at any time). No additional amenities -- but perfectly fine and comfortable.
1.3
Excellent Hotel, just off the beaten track, but easy accessible by public transport from the airport. Superfast and friendly check-in and a wonderful modern, clean and spacious room, rain shower and excellent internet.

This is not a four star hotel felt a bit ripped off about it disappointing.
