The Hotel les Arcades is located in the center of Geneva, across from the train station in a busy area of shops and restaurants. The hotel is one story up from street level: ring for entry to an elevator that goes to the lobby. Parking is available across the street beneath the station; rates are 20 euros overnight. The hotel... more

We stayed in Geneva on route from Italy to France. It is a good transport hub to many parts of Europe, and has fast trains to Paris (3.5 hours). Most of the reviews of this hotel already say that it has a great location, which it does, friendly service, which it definitely does, and has a great breakfast, which it... more

This hotel is really a set of rooms on a single floor of a retail building opposite the train station. The decor is a little dated, but the bathroom in our room (#11) was recently upgraded. No carpet, which meant our slippers got very dirty. The lack of air conditioning can be a problem on hot days, since the area... more

We chose this hotel for the location (across the street from the train station) and the reasonable price. We had an early flight out of Geneva the next morning. We got more than we bargained for. Location was across the street from the train station and a short 5 minute walk. It was close to cafes and shopping and was... more

Hote les Arcades was clean and basic, with decent-sized rooms for a reasonable price. The staff were delightful - friendly and helpful (loaned me an umbrella, offered me a larger/quieter room that was available, etc.) Breakfast was plentiful with fresh croissants. The location is directly across from the train station, and separate enough from the "red light" district which is... more

I attended a workshop in Geneva and stayed here. We were told by our host agency that the hotel was conveniently located and easy to find. But I was a first-timer in Geneva plus I arrived past midnight on the last train from the airport and when I asked around, no one seemed to know where the hotel was located.... more

This was a nice hotel, not too expensive and very handy to the Geneva train station. It's only a short walk into the old town. The hotel takes up the second floor of a building, there is a lift. We were lucky to have a choice of rooms given it was the weekend that the Festival was on. Most rooms... more

The words that come to mind for this little hotel are "perfectly adequate." The room was kind of shabby and gloomy and looked like it had been furnished circa 1982; the bathroom likewise. But we got a friendly welcome, everything was nice and clean, the cheese, meat, croissants, coffee, etc. served at breakfast were of surprisingly good quality (better, in... more

We stayed at this hotel recently and really liked it for several reasons; firstly, it's location immediately opposite the railway station is great (especially since Swiss trains are an easy commute - even for a non-French speaker) and it's 5 to 10 minutes walk to the old part of Geneva across the lake. There are plenty of cheap but good... more
