Great property and a great location. Lovely old building right in the heart of Ferney with excellent cafes right outside the windows. Friendly and helpful gentleman greeted me when I arrived and check in and check out was seemless and easy.

Old building so floors were understandably creaky and the sound of other people coming into the hotel to walk upstairs to their room was loud enough to wake me. Not a huge problem for me as I’m able to get back to sleep very quickly, but something to be aware of if you struggle to sleep with occasional noise. Also, the attached restaurant wasn’t open at all whilst I was there. Sign said it would only be open for breakfast on Sunday.

This is a beautiful historical hotel in the town centre of the charming Ferney Voltaire. It has lots of charisma and character plus has everything you need for a great stay. Jacques the owner is a lovely friendly man who speaks perfect English and is always on hand if you need any help or questions answered. I'm glad I found this place on booking.com as it's ideal when visiting the greater Geneva area just over the border.

My stay at Hotel de France during one month was truly exceptional, the best experience I could hope for! Jacques is a very hospitable and responsive host, always ready to help and solve any possible issues that may arise, and provide all the extra services that make a longer stay at the hotel very comfortable (i.e. washing machine at the hotel). In short, the best choice in Ferney-Voltaire!

We had such a lovely stay at Hotel De France. Jaques was so accommodating of us and very helpful with any questions we had. The building is beautiful, and facilities were lovely also. Ferney-Voltaire is such a nice little town to stay in, and very well connected to Geneva via public transport. I would definitely recommend you stay with Jaques at Hotel De France next time you are there!

Very nice hotel, in the most vivid spot of the city. Walking distance from all the major local attractions and from two bus stations. The price-quality ratio was very good. French breakfast in the room, every morning, and many small restaurants and bakeries nearby. A dinner costs roughly 25 euro/person, with wine included. I could recommend the place to everyone who would like to stay near Geneva, you can reach the city center by bus, in 30 minutes. A bus ticket costs 4,3 euros, but you can buy day tickets, for 9 euros. You don't have to miss in Ferney the Voltaire castle and some old theater built by Voltaire for the local community. I will definitely return when in Geneva, because it's a genuine experience!

Take care to the local restaurants working hours! You cannot eat between 12-18, every restaurants kitchen is closed! And after 18, you can drink at the restaurant only if you eat, too! It's funny, but french!

Great location on the French side of the border and easy to get to from the airport by bus. Comfortable room and easy to walk around the town and visit the Chateau Voltaire

Not a problem for us but all rooms require flights of stairs, there is no lift if that is something you need.

Close to Geneva Airport, easy to park, convenient for a brief stop over

Very late check-in (5pm), so we had to spend 4 hours in Geneva killing time before having access to our rooms. We spent a Sunday night at the property and had no idea we would see no staff whatsoever for our entire stay. The fact that the access was via a code which was sent via email very late (arrived after we had left), and it was only by trawling through my booking.com messages that I happened to find a copy of the entry code, was not made clear to us at ent stage during the booking processes. There was no number on the door to call had I not found it! The restaurant was closed too as were most places in the village - avoid a Sunday if you can. So no personal touch at all, despite calling itself a hotel rather than a guest house.

The room was simple but pretty. Personnel was very friendly. Breakfast basket was good, although it would have been nicer to have it in the morning, with fresh brioche and cool orange juice for instance instead of the previous night.

One of the shudders was blocked in an open position so it was impossible to close. Hence, the room (no 15) was full of light from early morning, and the noise from the street rather consequent. It is a pity there was no fridge in the room. Bathroom light did not work.

The room and its cleanliness were excellent.

The hotel did not provide any snacks or quick bites. Having some readily available snacks would be a helpful addition for guests.

Building is old and of course, some facilities show(missing elevator). For me it was not an issue but for travelers with difficulty with stairs have to keep it in mind. Authentic, warm, great location.
