Guest UserI booked a single room for one night and a double room for another. The rooms were clean and tidy, and the front desk staff was very friendly. When I told them I'd left my room key inside, they jokingly told me I could sleep at the front desk instead!
The hotel's location is excellent; you can get there directly from the train station by taking the underground passage and then an elevator. Breakfast options were a bit limited, but the quality felt good, and the crepes were nicely made.
The single room was quite small, with just enough space by the window to open a 28-inch suitcase. The double room, however, was much larger and even had a mini-fridge. The downside was that the beds were too soft, which seems to be a common issue in Europe, and the curtains let in a lot of light, which is tough when it gets bright so early in Geneva during summer.
Most importantly, it has air conditioning! Air conditioning! Air conditioning! It was an absolute lifesaver! Seriously, what on earth were those places I stayed in Zurich and Interlaken thinking, having no AC at all?!

Guest UserI booked this as an 'airport hotel,' but you actually still need to take a shuttle bus. You have to wait for it outside the airport, where the taxis park. Geneva Airport's management isn't very convenient; there were no staff to ask, and I couldn't find any hotel parking signs. It took me ages to find the bus stop. All the shuttle buses for the various airport hotels seem to stop randomly, so you really have to search, especially if it's your first time staying at this hotel, as the bus names aren't always easy to recognize. I missed the first bus because it was too crowded, and the second one was also full – I almost missed it too! They run about every 20 minutes. Luckily, Trip.com's service was excellent and helped me with the address.

Here’s a longer, more detailed version with warm and genuine vibes:

We had such a wonderful stay at Hotel Sagitta and I honestly feel it deserves more recognition for the value it offers.
First of all, the location is unbeatable. It’s only about a 10-minute walk to the famous waterfalls and the Old Town, which made everything so convenient. We could stroll out in the morning, explore all the beautiful spots, take photos, grab meals, and come back to rest without needing to drive. Being able to park the car and just walk everywhere was such a big plus.
Yes, the hotel has a slightly older, classic style — but everything is clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. What really surprised me (in the best way!) was that our room came with a kitchenette. I did not expect that at all. Having a small kitchen setup made such a difference — we could prepare simple meals, make coffee, and feel a bit more “at home” instead of just staying in a typical hotel room.
There was also a bathtub, which was another pleasant surprise. After a long day of walking around and sightseeing, being able to relax in a hot bath was perfect. Not many budget-friendly hotels provide that!
For the price we paid, this is honestly one of the best deals in such a prime location. It’s affordable, practical, and provides everything you need for a comfortable stay — good space, useful amenities, parking convenience, and walking distance to all the attractions.
If you are looking for a budget-friendly stay with excellent location and great value for money, this hotel is definitely worth considering. We would absolutely stay here again.

sammi1979I've been in Europe for half a month, and this is truly the best hotel experience I've had so far. Yesterday, when I was changing hotels, I arrived a bit early, around 11 AM, and they had a room available and let me check in early. That night, I got a fever due to my personal constitution. The next day, the hotel agreed to a 2-hour late check-out. After checking out, I was resting in the lobby, and an auntie who was cleaning saw I wasn't feeling well. She pushed two sofas together so I could lie down and rest, and I slowly started to feel better. Being sick and uncomfortable abroad is truly a fear.

Guest UserExcellent location. Walk distance to Central Train Station and stone away from Geneva lake. Very good value for money. The facilities are pretty good. It even has a separate kitchen in the room. Decoration in the hallway are looking good. Loads of restaurants around the hotel. Got the best spaghetti carbonara ever had. Walkable distance to Geneva Cathedral and other interesting places. Close to central bus station as well which has bus connects major cities in Switzerland and some cities in neighbouring countries. The only negative thing is that the bathtub is quite narrow. When you take shower in it, it is hard not to knock on the side glass or to the wall. Other than that, everything else works great! Highly recommended!

Guest UserI had a wonderful stay at the Green Marmot Hotel. The location is excellent,close to plenty of shops, restaurants, bars, pharmacies, and bakeries, so everything you need is nearby. The hotel itself is very clean throughout. Although the room is small, just as described, it suited me perfectly.
One downside is that sound travels easily, so you can hear even minor noise from neighbouring rooms, earplugs are definitely helpful. The motion-sensor lights in the corridor were also a bit disruptive, as I’m easily woken by light, so an eye mask is recommended. Additionally, some guests arrive late, so it can get a little noisy.
Overall, I would highly recommend staying here.
