hotelF1 Genève Aéroport Ferney, Ferney Voltaire

Very poor

Liked: Staff were nice. Shopping park across the road was a lucky option for amenities. The shower worked.
Disliked: Despite having 'Aeroport' in the name this hotel isn't airport adjacent with barely reliable public transport available at the time of my stay so if you have heavy luggage bank on 50+ euros for a taxi if you're lucky. There was quite a muddy road between the hotel and the walk to the main road as well so if you do fancy the walk to the bus stop expect to break a suitcase wheel or at least get it covered in dirt. Taxi's were difficult to get because of it being on the French side of the border and it took well over an hour to get one when leaving and only then at heavily inflated rate. Staff were fine but beyond that this is definitely one to avoid - room was the worst I've stayed in for a French hotel which even on the budget scale are usually at least clean. There were empty bottles under the bed and dust swept into the corners with a general smell of damp in the room and that part of the hotel. The tv was wired directly into the mains via some wago connectors which feels like its asking for trouble but it worked so maybe I'm just being negative? There was a mini village of motorhomes in a corner of the car park and a general feeling that the hotel was being used as a facilities for the people staying there. Actually the whole area seems like it is in the middle of a paused construction project. I'm a quiet traveller and I work on my trips keeping myself to myself - I will put up with practically anything as long as I can see the things I planned to see and the wifi works but this hotel even managed to breach my incredibly low standards.

WORSE PLACE TO STAY, UNSAFE...

Disliked: Terrible location, with no shuttle to the airport you'd think they would warn you about the way there... I took the bus through the border to France and then had to walk in the dark in the middle of nowhere (literally) for 20 min, with only the light of my phone and no service because it only worked in Switzerland! Everything was dirty, some showers had no light one had no way to control the temperature of the water and all of them very dirty, toilets also dirty. The room had 1 small window, and the blinds were broken. Staff was ok but not super friendly. You get there, u get a paper with your room nr and code nothing more from them. From the window, u had a lovely view to trash thrown from the windows of the people that I believe live there... Extremely loud, people shouting names, having conversations and slaming the bathroom doors the entire night. Cherry on top was getting out of my room to go to the bathroom and seeing THE POLICE WITH HAND IN GUNS scouting the place and looking at me like I was suspicious when i got out of the room, makes me believe they were looking for someone... UNSAFE! 1000% sure I will never come back. Worse place I've ever stayed at!

1 night stay

Liked: Décor, value for money
Disliked: Should be cleaner

Poor

Disappointing

Liked: The bed was clean. The price is reasonable.
Disliked: I couldn't adjust the room temperature. There was only a sink in the room. The bathroom and toilet were outside the room and there was no soap. Take soap and shampoo with you when you go :(. Other things can be understood according to the price. But not having soap/shampoo is unacceptable.

Good value for money

Liked: When I read some reviews, I was kinda scared to accommodate here. Nevertheless, I gave it a try. I had been to 2 other F1 hotels before, so I knew exactly what to expect. This time I had the same experience as in the previous ones. I have got what I paid for. That means a clean room to sleep. The price is amazing and you cannot expect anything more for it. If you are a low cost traveller and need somewhere to sleep near the Geneva airport for 1 or 2 nights, this is all you need.
Disliked: Only little details. Tiny room, shared bathroom, bery basic equipment in the room, etc. Absolutely normal and understanable in a low cost hotel , nothing to complain :)
