Family room in hotel - Geneva Airport

Hi having looked online I am struggling to find a reasonable room for night before a flight. Going to Scotland for Christmas and flying at noon on Sunday would have preferred to stay in travelodge type place night before. Does anyone know of such a chain here in Switzerland, or reasonable hotel at the airport?

Have you considered taking the train on the day? You can leave Aarau at 8:30 and pull into Geneva Airport at 10:55 (no changes) or have the same schedule an hour earlier with one easy change in Biel.

Anywho, it's a thought.

Probably CH equivalent to Travellodge

This chain has hotels all over Switzerland www.accorhotels.com (the hotels are Ibis, Formula One and Novotel)

Since the airport is only a few minutes by train, you can stay in a hotel near the train station, for example in http://www.montbrillant.ch/ or http://www.fhotels.ch/e/3_cornavin.html #

Otherwise, in addition to the Moevenpick, close to the airport you can also check http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/cp/...og&PID=2217667 or Holiday Inn Express -- that would definitely be the cheapest -- http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/ex/...og&PID=2217667

A reasonably priced hotel, about five minutes walk from the train station, is Hotel St-Gervais . Last yer I stayed there on both the night of my arrival and the night before my departure.

When I come down to Geneva I always stay at a hotel run by the Salvation Army. It is in the old town , the rooms are clean and it includes free transport costs for 24 hours plus a fab breakfast thrown in aswell. I then just walk to the station and get the train. The night before I always have a lovely meal out at one of the nearby restaurants with the money that I have saved If you are interested I will dig the brochure out and PM you the details

Thanks for all your replies, I will try some of the sites you guys mentioned. Want to arrive around lunchtime as it also happens to be our daughters 8th birthday so need somewhere to take her for a meal around 5-6pm fun and kid friendly any help on this would also be good. We decided now to stay in Geneva as never been and thought she would like this.

Hotel Montbrillant that I mentioned has Santa Clause's house. It is open until 24 December:

Father Christmas's House

Every year, form 1 to 24 December, Father Christmas's house at the Montbrillant makes dreams come ture for children of every age - even the grown-ups ! The ten rooms on the first floor of the hotel are closed to guests and transformed into a storytellers' room, Father Christmas's dining room or a Christmas crib scene from the mountians. Teh event is organised in conjunction with Cornavin station, Rail City and MeĢtro Shopping. All the proceeds from ticket sales are donated to the Emmaus charity. Anothe way of looking at Christmas - and all in a good cause.

thought I would let you all know we have now booked, thanks to all. After a bit more searching and also being unable to get booked with some of the suggested, going for a hotel called Hotel Capitole in the city centre near station so easy access to the airport next day. Got fab deal check their website www.hotelcapitole.ch the stunning penthouse as they describe is 400 francs per night if booking over the phone but only 200 francs by internet, it looks great and includes breakfast, checked out tripadvisor and no bad reports.

Will respond after our stay to let all know if worthwhile recommending.
