positive:
Standard Ibis basic comfort.
You will find the rooms, as normal with Ibis, to be clean and tidy, with comfy beds, all the basic features you actually need, and it seems to be particularly suited to business travellers.
positive:
Front desk team helpful.
The friendly team on the front desk appears to be very helpful, reading by reviews, and check-in and service is smooth and efficient.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Small rooms without the extras.
Some guests have considered the rooms at Ibis Genève Centre-Gare too small for what they paid, with the bathrooms likewise cramped and the furnishings spartan, with no kettle, fridge, or minibar.
negative:
Air conditioning issues.
A fair few of those who stayed found the air conditioning to be ineffective, which seems to be something to do with Geneva regulations around AC usage, and thus rooms were sometimes too hot, with guests loathe to open windows due to noise.
negative:
Breakfast, room prices steep.
You may consider, like others have, the room prices to be steep, not to mention the prices for breakfast, but keep in mind that hotel rooms are normally very expensive in Geneva so what you pay is actually relatively low.
