The Portrait
Acacias is the district south of the Rhône where Geneva does its business rather than its postcards, and Route des Acacias has a tram stop in front of this door. Eleven minutes on the 15 puts you at Cornavin, the main station. You are not on the lake and the building does not pretend to be.
What it is instead is the one address in this edition that publishes a figure: from 117 CHF a night, in a city where nobody publishes anything. Studios and apartments, each with a kitchen, a gym on the first floor open around the clock, and breakfast at 19 CHF a person. Read one line in the small print before you arrive: cleaning is not daily here unless you ask and pay for it.
We include it because a reader comparing a month in Geneva needs a floor to compare against, and because the address is honest about what it sells.
Who it suits: a long working stay in Geneva on a real budget, or anyone who wants to know what the bottom of this market actually costs before negotiating the top of it.
Written by the Selloua editors from the address’s own published facts. Nothing in this entry was paid for.
