“Great improvement in service level (except for room services)”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

I have been staying in the Novotel Geneve Aeroport at Ferney-Voltaire for at least once a month for the past one year. The service level of the front desk staff and at the restaurant has been exceptional. Their managers, Stephane from the front desk and Phillipe from the restaurant, together with their colleagues have been trying their best to make my every stay a great one!

The hotel is also very well-maintained with a convenient airport shuttle service that runs every 30 minutes between the hotel and the Geneva airport between 6:30 a.m to 10:30 p.m. This is very useful for travellers who would like to save a little on their budget as compared to living in Switzerland. There is also a huge supermarket and a fast-food restaurant located directly opposite the hotel which is accessible by foot in less than 5 minutes.

Nonetheless, the hotel could have win a 5-Stars from me if:

1. The quality of the room service team could be improved. The cleaning staff frequently forget to replace items from the courtesy tray (coffee, sugar and milk) and occasionally the plastic bag in the bin. This is quite a shame considering that other services are tip-top!

2. The water pressure in the shower could be better (the water pressure needs to be higher).

3. At the moment, the hotel does not have any English channels or cable TV. This could be a problem for non-French speaking travellers would stay more than 3 days.

All else said, this hotel is still worth the money one pays for.

“Stains on carpet, holes in the towels”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 28, 2012 via mobile

Lobby and reception are nice and modern. Service was friendly but distant. The first thing we saw when entering the room was the carpet-which was full of stains. Disgusting. Bed and sofabed were ok for one night. Bathroom was clean but the towels had holes.
An economical one night stop-over on the way to the south of France means you can resist the lower level of quality and comfort, but for a longer stay I would not recommend the hotel.

“Good location but a but jaded”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed September 25, 2012

Stayed in Novotel Ferney for 4 nights to be lose to geneva. Staff were pleasant especially in bar and breakfast place. Reception staff have too much to do. Checking in and out was slow because too few staff. Checking out on Sunday morning which must be a busy check out time there was only 1 person at reception. Nothing is more annoying than when halfway through checkout the receptionist has to answer customer enquiries. Finishes one call then another comes in and the checking out guests just standing there waiting and waiting. Also the hotel is showing its age.

“FAILS TO PROVIDE WHAT ONE EXPECTS OF AN AIRPORT HOTEL”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed September 16, 2012

Avoid staying here if you are flying out on one of the 25 international flights or so scheduled to leave before about 8.30 hours. The first hotel shuttle at 6.30 leaves too late for a safe connection. To call this an airport hotel is a deceipt. If you are unfortunate enough to be booked into an early flight you need to pay a taxi fare of 35 Euros. The senior hotel manager was unhelpful and rude when it was suggested that an airport hotel offering a shuttle should be more flexible and that a taxi should have been provided free of charge. Otherwise the food was good and rooms comfortable. I have stayed in many Novotels and this was my first bad experience.
