The hotel is right behind Zimeysa train station, direct train to Geneva main railway station. The hotel is close to airport 8 minutes drive (no hotel shuttle bus). However if you take train, there’s no direct train, you have to take to Geneva main station and change train (1 stop) to Geneva airport. The train frequency at Zimeysa train station is once every 1 hour so plan your trip properly. The hotel is new, spacious and clean. I had a comfortable 1 night stay. Location is quite secluded, no food establishment around other than the restaurant in the hotel.
Close to the airport. Availability of a shuttle service. Great cleaning service. New hotel, new facilities. Friendly and helpful reception. The Geneva transportation card is an excellent bonus. Quiet area. I enjoyed my stay. Definitely recommend.
The Geneva Marriott is an attractive, contemporary hotel located roughly near the airport, and since the shuttle doesn't run that often, you might be better off making the walk, as I did. For me it was a matter of some 20 minutes, but depending on your starting point at the airport, it could easily be less. Much closer to the hotel is the quite large Balexert shopping mall at 7 or 8 minutes' walk. The center of town can be also be walked to, as the way is rather straightforward, though it is noticeably farther than the airport, making the trams that stop very close to the hotel an option. Of course you will have to ask for your free Geneva public transport card, as the hotel makes no mention of these at its own initiative. I liked the fact that I was offered a late checkout immediately on arrival. I didn't like hearing that breakfast is available to platinum Marriott Rewards members in the executive lounge only, a marked departure from standard practice elsewhere in Europe - not just at Marriotts, but also, for example, at their large American competitor also located near the airport. As it was, when I was ready for breakfast on the morning of my one-night stay, it turned out that something had gone wrong and as a consequence, breakfast was offered only in the restaurant. The assortment there was between good and very good, which I'm sure wouldn't have been the case in the lounge. The lounge had already disappointed the previous evening. I went shortly before 18:00 just to make sure that food would still be available when I was expecting to have the time, just after 19:00. The employee said yes, but there was virtually nothing left when returned; she might have had the courtesy to mention that they would stop replenishing dishes, but this would have required some thought from the guest's perspective. The gym was not so great, either; from a large and modern Marriott I'd expect better. All in all, acceptable, but if breakfast in the lounge is as meager as I suspect, then I would probably not favor this property.
We had a standard room which was simple and adequate. Bathroom a little small and shower a challenge to adjust comfortably. While they have an airport shuttle its first morning departure is 5:50 which was too late for us and it cost us 35 Swiss francs. It is walking distance to the tram to the city and they offer a free Geneva transportation pass as do other hotels
Come and eat at the bar for lunch The food was great Thomas at the front desk was lovely!! We stopped to find out what to visit in Geneva while passing through Great recommendation for old town and Eaux Vives! With welcome little touches of humor :)
