There are lots of mid-range rather small and pokey hotels near the station in Geneva. Very central, old town houses converted into small hotels with cramped lifts, a small communal space for breakfst, and simple facilities. In most other towns they would be considered over-priced but Geneva has lots of visitors and it is a sellers market. The Lido is... More

I stayed here for 3 nights with my family on our weekend trip to Geneva. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast was great (American standards), average (Swiss standards)! The 3 person room was really big, and I found the bed to be very comfy. The location is great, central to everything you could want to see, and... More

Hotel has really very good location, just several minutes from central railway station (about 5 min) and short distance to city center (7-10 min). It's easy to find, receptionist did registration very fast and gave me transport card for free (free usage of all city transport including train or buss to airport). This is very useful, especially if you're going... More

The hotel is located right in the center on a very busy street (even at night). Very friendly and helpful staff. Room 15 is on the 1st floor (very small elevator present) on the busy street, opening the window is not an option because of the noise. The room was very warm, despite the heating being off and there is... More

This hotel is located very well, only 500 metres from the railwaystation Cornavin in the centre of Geneva. The railwaystation is only 7 minutes by train from the airport. In the airport you get a free ticket to go by train to the centre. In the hotel you get a passport for free use of public transport in Geneva. Breakfast... More

Very convenient to the trains, Lake, and old Geneva. Wifi is ok, but not great. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful.

The Hotel Lido is close to the main railway station and is cheap for Geneva (but cheap in Geneva means expensive anywhere else!) The room was well sized, there were plenty of towels, and the beds were OK. The double glazing does a good job of blocking out the very loud traffic noise. Ummm, that's about it for the "positives".... More

Hotel Lido is located at the center of Geneva, very close to the Gare Cornavin and to many restaurants, pubs and souvenir shops. This is the only real good thing about the hotel. I stayed at room 56 during a weekend (February 26 and 27) and wasn't happy with it because: 1) wi-fi internet connection in room 56 (which is... More

I liked the hotel. Given the price of alternatives, it seemed to be quite a bargain. It is right near the train station, amongst several buildings that also host what qualifies as budget hotels in Geneva. Some might find the street below too busy and noisy, but I slept well. The room was relatively nicely appointed in contemporary business traveler... More

Very clean, basic hotel in very central location a few hundred yards from rail station, and very convenient for lakeside area. Staff friendly and helpful. Rooms are not airconditioned and hotel is on busy city centre street, so traffic noise can be an issue if you have to have windows open
