Very good stay exceeded my expectations. Very close to geneva airport and 15 mins to city center with the tram. Will stay here again if i ever visit geneva again!
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.
Excellent location, right opposite to Geneva station. Allow early checkin, very nice services from staff. Room is clean and new. Great washroom setup and accessories. Suitable for business travellers too, will definitely book again next time.
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 hotel and room were very comfortable, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Only little minus, it's right in the red light district but, it's very central in Geneva and very convenient for the train station with a five minutes walk. All in all, a great experience and a recommendation. I would stay there again if visiting Geneva. The check in staff was very helpful and efficient.
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.
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 hotel boasts an unbeatable location! With public transport (trams and trains) right at your doorstep and a COOP supermarket, a pharmacy, and a vibrant international food street just downstairs, it truly couldn't be more convenient or comfortable. What's more, the hotel provides a complimentary city travel pass, which means all major attractions are reachable within 15 minutes. The rooms, though compact, are charming and wonderfully quiet. The Wi-Fi speed and breakfast were also excellent.
The service is very good. We were also told that there are free one-day bus tickets. The bed in the room is also very comfortable. It is a good choice at this price
The location is perfect. You can just walk to anywhere from the hotel. I like the water pressure for the bath. I don’t see anything wrong with this hotel other than it is slightly hot and the ac is not new.
Very Good

KKFManThe 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!

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.

GguoseaIt feels like living in your own home. Although the hotel is not big, it makes you feel at home. It takes only a few minutes to walk to Lake Geneva across from the hotel. There are also several bus stops nearby, so transportation is very convenient. It is also close to the UN and WTO.
GGuest UserPros: Hotel location is just a few minutes walk from Geneva train station. There are quite a number of restaurants around and supermarket at the train station so it is easy to look for foods. Room design looks modern and shower water is strong enough for a good bath. Sink is located outside toilet this make it easy to access to water when the toilet is occupied.
Cons: Although the room design looks modern but the tv in the room is the smallest (think is only 20”) and oldest. Room size is a bit small, just enough for 2 adults with 2 medium size lugguge. Sound proofing is poor and we can clearly hear the noise coming from the street since our room is on the 2nd floor.
Based on the price range I will still use this hotel if I were to visit Geneva again.
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.
