I enjoyed my stay here. It's a no frills, comfortable secure place, located opposite the main train station and local bus services which is busy but very convenient. Finding it takes some care as it does not have a street entrance, and you need to use an elevator/lift, to get to the lobby. A good hotel to use as a base to see Geneva.

The hotel room was clean and spacious and being located opposite the main station very convenient. If there is a drawback it is on the main thoughfare and is quite noisy when the windows are open, which could be a problem if you are trying to sleep when it's hot. They did provide a large fan though. Overall I'd recommend it to anyone.

a decent place

The words that come to mind for this little hotel are "perfectly adequate." The room was kind of shabby and gloomy and looked like it had been furnished circa 1982; the bathroom likewise. But we got a friendly welcome, everything was nice and clean, the cheese, meat, croissants, coffee, etc. served at breakfast were of surprisingly good quality (better, in fact, than the much more expensive hotel we stayed in on our way out of Geneva), and given that our window overlooked the busy street in front of the train station, it wasn't all that noisy. We slept with the window open and the big, room-darkening blind down, and it was dark and quiet enough to counteract our jet-lag-induced insomnia. All we wanted was a good sleep close to the station, so we could check in as soon as we got in from the airport, and head out by train the next day. We were satisfied. And given the insanely high prices of Swiss hotels, Les Arcades proved to be quite a deal as well.

The hotel is very nicely located close to the central station however please note that the sign for the hotel is tiny and since you have to enter a doorway and take the lift to the second floor and you do not see the reception from groundlevel you have to look careful for the entrence. It would be nice if the hotel could somehow make it clearer where the hotel is. Apart from that the staff was very helpful and friendly, the rooms very nice and clean so the Quality/Price was excellent. Even that it is close to the central station noise did was not a problem. Breakfast was also very good. If I go back to geneva privately i would stay here again.
