ibis Genève Aéroport: the budget option nine minutes from the terminal
In Cointrin, nine minutes on foot from the airport station, the ibis is the budget 3-star for early flights and fair days. Among the lowest prices we found for April.
The verdict
The ibis Aéroport does the job for a night before a flight or a day at Palexpo, at a price that remains among the lowest in the area. The terminal is roughly nine minutes on foot.
Its Google rating of 4.1 from 1,500 reviews matches what you expect from a chain 3-star.
Who is it for?
Budget visitors to the watch fair: Palexpo is under twenty minutes on foot, or a few minutes by bus. The price we found for the public weekend of Watches and Wonders was one of the lowest among hotels still available.
The area is road-dominated and lifeless in the evening: eat at the airport or in town.
Our advice
The Geneva Transport Card, given at the hotel, makes the train to Cornavin free, a few minutes' ride. That is what makes this address competitive against the nearby French hotels.
