We liked this hotel for its minimalist approach. We had chosen a standard double room which was okay for us for one night. We found the front office and other staffs in the hotel to be really helpful. We also had breakfast which was excellent. If and when we decide to travel to Geneva we will definitely try to find this hotel.
Very helpful staff, appreciate your kindness towards us when my daughter was ill and needed advice on where to seek medical care. Conveniently located next to train station and short walk to the quay.love the complimentary chocolate and drinks in the fridge. Nice room and spacious modern toilet.
The location is excellent and super convenient, literally just steps away from the lake! The facilities are complete, everything is spotlessly clean, and it's wonderfully quiet. The front desk service was also top-notch. This is definitely my go-to hotel for both business and leisure trips, especially since you can cook your own meals here.
Clean, friendly staff and very affordable for families. Close to train station and an easy walk to other sites. Air conditioning was lacking and the amount of ladies of the night around the hotel block was surprising. Overall, would stay again.
The hotel's location is superb, just a stone's throw across the street from Geneva Railway Station's main entrance. The hotel entrance may be small, but it has a lot of character. It's clean, tidy, and boasts its own unique vibe. Breakfast was also good; it might look unassuming, but it was genuinely delicious and flavorful. There was a good variety of cold and hot dishes, as well as fruits. For a hotel at this price point, it offered excellent value for money. Before check-in, the hotel proactively sent us a QR code for free public transport in Geneva. The service was truly outstanding; they even called several different restaurants for our cheese fondue and eventually provided great recommendations. The hotel is only about a 15-minute walk to the Old Town and approximately a 7-minute walk to the Flixbus stop at Place Dorcière.
The room is surprisingly small. You need to use the public drinking fountain for coffee, beverages and hot water on the first floor. I checked in at the door for 3 minutes at night and the doorbell was quite speechless. It is the least ideal hotel in the eight-day tour in Switzerland. The only thing is that it is very close to Geneva train station.
It was very unclear where the airport pick-up point actually was when you come out of the building. All they told me on the phone was that it's terminal 1, gate 3 and a black van. Well if they had elaborated and explained that you go past the taxi ranks to the coach pick-up section, that would have been far less stressful at 11pm. Once there, there was indeed a black van with the 'Nash' branding on the side which arrived in 10 minutes. A short ride away (5 mins) and we got dropped off at the hotel. Late check-in is at the reception desk in the airport hotel next door. For some reason, the lift in the hotel next to reception wasn't working (myself and another guest tried to get it to work) - meanwhile some hotel employee was on the phone in the room next door. I then had to carry my 23kg bag fortunately up just one flight of stairs, but this would be an issue for other guests with limited mobility. Transfer back to the airport the next morning was pretty smooth. In summary, clearer instructions around the pick-up and a working lift would have improved the experience, but it was still perfectly adequate and convenient for an early morning flight at 7am.
The room was spotless, and the location is incredibly convenient. It's just a few minutes from the airport via a shuttle bus that runs every 20 minutes. What's more, the hotel provided a complimentary public transport card, which saved us all our local travel expenses!
The Ruby Claire Hotel is situated in central Geneva, very convenient to getting around especially for first time visitors. Staff at the hotel were super friendly and helpful. Rafael, the staff who checked us in, recommended us a number of places of interest worth visiting, showed us the best way (transportation) to get around the city, and public transportation was free as offered by the hotel. Knowing that we’d be staying for three nights, he recommended us to take the “daily make up room service”, rather than the welcome drinks. Good advice! Self service coffee and teas were available for free from the “library” situated on each floor, 24/7. Highly recommended!
The hotel is out of my expectation. The location is really close to the city centre and just next to the central station.
Very Good

KKamalathaI went a day earlier to confirm my stay with the hotel. They couldn't find my booking. I showed them my confirmation on my phone. I was told that they can see my confirmation number but no payment was made by trip.com. They assured me that such has happened before and told me to be on the safe guard book another room as a standby. They assured me that they will not swipe my card until matter is resolved. That assurance made me check in. I kept coming to the front office every now and then and I was told it was resolved. Only on the last night I was told that by Trip.com of the error in the address. In the meantime the hotel had swiped my card. Surprisingly they did not honour the feedbacks I gave to Hotel Montana Geneve and Hotel Montana Zurich. There was no email to apologise for the oversight and delay in handling. I went to the hotel one day earlier to check, they could have attended to it and not confidently putting the blame on trip.com since there has been previous incidents where [ayment was not received.
I thought Hotel Montana group could have handled this matter better. Quite disappointing.
GGuest UserExcellent location for the Geneva stadium with a shopping mall next to the hotel with restaurants, supermarket and cinema/bowling alley. Great transport links to airport directly by bus within 35-40 min and into the centre.
Staff- friendly and efficient.
Toiletries provided but no lotion available.
Rooms clean and large enough.
Beds and pillows comfortable. Universal plug sockets and usb charging available in the room.
GGuest UserClean, friendly staff and very affordable for families. Close to train station and an easy walk to other sites. Air conditioning was lacking and the amount of ladies of the night around the hotel block was surprising. Overall, would stay again.
GGuest UserThe reception is so friendly and helpful, she tells us too many things about transportation of Geneva. Also, the reception allow us check in earlier. Very good experience.
JJacquelyn LimThe location is the best there is in Geneva, it is also few mins walk from bus station if you are planning to take the bus to Chamonix . The service is excellent. They give the room to you as long as it's done cleaning and available. We got it as early as 9am. They provide free transport card which is so convenient in going to UN building and everywhere. The hotel is just basic , but everything we need is there. We got 2 rooms , 1 wit triple occupancy for my children. Surrounding the hotel is a lot of good restaurant options too.
GGuest UserThe room was spotlessly clean. The surrounding area was quite peaceful, and it's conveniently located very close to the lake. From there, you can take a lovely walk along the lakeside to the nearby city park and botanical garden. It's also very convenient to stroll along the lake to attractions like the Big Fountain.
