Hotel is only a few minutes walk from the station - even with luggage. 
Was welcomed on reception by a friendly member of staff who dealt with my poor grasp of French and communicated in English. Straight forward check in and room assigned. 

There is a lift but it will fit only 1 person with luggage. I had a room at the rear on the second floor. Had a small entrance way with doors leading to bathroom and bedroom. Bedroom was cozy though I always find Swiss pillows challenging - they are far too thin. I was able to get an extra one from reception easily.

The room and bathroom are simple but clean and in good repair. Some external noise which quietened down after about 22:30. 

Check out was smooth with another friendly member of staff (no experience of poor customer service as other reviewers!) Did not have breakfast.

Great little find in central Geneva

This budget hotel was clean and well worth the money.
Near trains and buses. Within walking distance of attractions
Hotel Lido put on a great European style breakfast buffet - but you did pay well for it.

Very Good for the Money

Literally 5 minutes walking from the station, close to the centre and nearby good restaurants. Convenient. You could want more from the room or the breakfast. Breakfast room is so tiny. Bathrooms need renovation, however, the hotel is good and comfortable for a night. Affordable, compared to some places.

Very close to the sConvenienttation

Very convenient for the station and a good price from central Geneva. Friendly staff, clean rooms, good breakfast. Room was quite small and being on the top floor had beams in the room. It would have been good if they had had some padding to spare heads when connecting with them!

Good basic accmmodation

We just stayed two separate nights in Geneva, the first at Hotel Admiral and the second here. For a similar price and a similar neighborhood, definitely go to Hotel Admiral. There was no free breakfast or even breakfast to pay for at Lido on Sunday. I had oatmeal packets and they didn't even have a hot water kettle I could use. There was no safe or mini fridge in the room and most importantly the customer service was non-existent. Person at the front desk barely made eye contact with us when we checked in and the man at Admiral took out a map and made sure we knew all of the great places to check out. The one thing that was good was the bathroom - good water pressure and everything was clean. In short, go to Hotel Admiral instead.

Wouldn't recommend - go to Admiral instead

Roger provided me with excellent customer service at 1am in the middle of the night for the cleanliness of my room. Very friendly staff ! Thank you Hotel Lido for making my stay here a pleasant one ! Hire more staff like roger!

Good customer service

We stayed here mainly because of the great location by the train station, and we are glad we did. The hotel was nice and quiet, room was small but clean and cozy. Staff was nice and lots of nearby places to eat. Super close to the train station for early morning TGV to Paris!

Great inexpensive place to stay in Geneva

It’s known that Geneva is expensive, even for low cost. But for that level of basic room and service and the price that I had to paid, it was ridiculous. The location is excellent though. But would never come back to this hotel!

First and last time

Stayed for 1 night with my family in multiple rooms. 
Due to our flight arriving quite late, we stayed here for a night and decided to explore a bit of Geneva the next morning before moving onto the rest of Switzerland. Room and bathroom size were quite decent, but Spartan in terms of amenities, as expected for the price. Location is about 3 minutes away from the Cornavin station, so airport, bus, tram and trains connecting to the rest of Switzerland are easy to reach. Our rooms faced the main road, which is quite noisy, but the windows had excellent isolation, so with the windows closed there was no issue.

Negatives: the lift is small and very old, some lights and plugs in the room are not functioning and the heating is not controllable so we were stuck with exceptionally hot rooms.

Overall, for a short stay and if you're not fussy then it's fine. You'll be hard pushed to find better prices in the area for private rooms with a bathroom.

Low cost option for multiple rooms

This is not an expensive hotel by Geneva standards and did the job fine.
It is a close walk to the central train station and perfect for walking the city.
The beds are comfortable and the showers are good. The room was spotless. 
There is no aircon and street noise is very loud with windows open. 
WiFi is patchy.
Geneva is so expensive, you need to save money somehow, so this hotel is just the job! Also, Geneva is worth exploring so you won’t be hanging around in the hotel.
Another hint, there is a good breakfast in the cafe in the central train station.
