We booked this hotel because we had an early flight from Geneva the next morning. It is 5 to 10 minutes from the airport. The taxi will cost about 35 Swiss francs. It was a great hotel for what we needed.

I was appalled at how run down the hotel was for the price I was paying. The carpet in my room was filthy. The ceiling had cob webs. It is advertised as a hotel close to the palo expo and airport in Geneva- which it is. But it's in France (not in Switzerland) and I was advised by the receptionist that the most convenient way to commute to and from the Hotel to expo or to Geneva town centre is by taxi. So it's better to pay slightly more and stay in a hotel closer to the airport or in Geneva centre than to pay for this hotel room and then add on the additional fare to commute up and down. On the positive side, the breakfast was generous and above average. I wouldn't stay here again.

Ferney-Voltaire is a small town on the Franco-Swiss border,...
Ferney-Voltaire is a small town on the Franco-Swiss border, easily accessible by buses from the airport (Y) and Geneva town-centre (F).
It was where famous French author, philosopher and philanthropist Voltaire chose to spend the later years of his life.
He is said to have chosen the village, originally called Fernex, so that he could live in France while championing the cause of the poor - without embarassing the court in Paris.
Chateau Voltaire is currently undergoing a restoration that will complete in 2018. It has extensive free-entry gardens, in which you can picnic. Entry is via the shop, which has an attractive range of books, notebooks and souvenirs.
There is a tourist office in the centre of town, with helpful staff and a free museum that traces printing from early wooden presses to metal type-setting.
On Saturday the two main streets in the centre of town house a large market, selling food, drink, clothing, toys etc.
Supermarkets include a Carrefour Market, close to the town centre, and a Lidl near the border post.
Aviation enthusiasts can get a great view of aircraft landing in Geneva (towards the southwest), from the park at Etaing Colovrex, close to the border post and Lidl (Sun in right place for photography from about 3.30 in afternoon during May).
Worth spending a Saturday here, because you can combine a visit to Chateau Voltaire and its gardens with a walk around the market.

It's great to be close to Geneva yet be order the French border - it means that restaurants and supermarkets near the hotel were far cheaper than the other side of the border. The bus service was fairly regular.
The restaurants in the vicinity of the hotel were a little poor - the quality was mediocre and the general type of food was on the unhealthy side. There was a nice canteen/cafe right next to the hotel that served great middle eastern (??) food and other groceries, but they weren't open in the evenings.
The hotel itself is mediocre, but cheap.

Ferney-Voltaire is nicely situated close to Geneva airport...
Ferney-Voltaire is nicely situated close to Geneva airport and international organisations. It is a pleasant village. Chateau Voltaire is worth visiting. There are many restaurants offering different kinds of food.
“very clean rooms. Rooms are very specious, perfect for two adults with two kids or even four Adults.
Twenty minutes easy Bus ride to Geneva Train station.
Good superstore near by to get your day to day use things if u intend to make your own meal or breakfast as you can save a lot of money by making your own breakfast.
Clean swimming pool in hotel.
very friendly staff.
Excellent value for money.”
“10-15min by car from the airport. The Carrefour supermarket is 5min drive by car. A cheap place to stay for one night. Towels are not included starting from April 2016. You need a car to get to the hotel.”
“Excellent location, bus stop outside hotel, bus Y to airport, but F to town centre. Hotel in France just over border, bus stop is Ferney Voltaire Douane, however Grand Saconnex Douane is a few more metres away and bus fare is cheaper, though to be honest, nobody checked tickets so you can just get the cheaper one called Tout Geneve”
“Cheap compared to other hotels
Very close to Geneva airport (15 mins max in car)
Friendly staff and swift check in/out
Ample free parking outside and around hotel
Late check in / early check out
Cheap wifi
Good Indian restaurant within 10 mins walk (Karma)”
