B&B HOTEL Geneva Airport

B&B HOTEL Geneva Airport

10/10 Excellent
"We came to the hotel a bit early and unable to check in at that time. The lady staff with beautiful smile patiently helped us to put the luggages behind counter. Because our group of four with quite many luggages, she’s super helpful and later also offered us free Geneva transportation for sightseeing and shuttle on the second day to airport. What a lovely staff and make us remember this hotel."
