Hotel ibis Annemasse — Hotel in Saint-Julien-en-Genevois

I chose the IBIS Annemasse based on the description on the IBIS website, as being reasonable close to Geneva city center, with convenient public transport connections. Unfortunately, I was mistaken. The next tram station (the one mentioned on the IBIS website) is some 2km from the hotel, and the way there is though a street that is completely turned upside down due to tramway construction works. This caused me to invest 45 CHF in a taxi ride next day, and thus should have been mentioned on the IBIS website.The transport situation however will improve significantly once the tramway construction works have finished.Further, the hotel clearly has seen better days, with the corridors and elevators looking worn.

Still worked out cost effective for two of us.|Not an awful lot going on in Annemasse but might be a different experience in the summer.|We would...

The hotel is located in a neighbourhood that is going under major construction work for the tramway. Getting to the hotel by car was really challenging at night. Finding a parking spot was another challenge since my car was too wide and long for the underground carpark. The lobby and the breakfast room need urgently renovation. My room was recently renovated but the work was not completed in a thorough way. Globally the quality of the stay is poor when comparing to most other Ibis hotels. The Campanille hotel in the center of Annemasse looks like a better choice: better location and...
