Globus Balexert in Vernier

Small, quiet place to drink your espresso :)

Wonderful coffee and ambience but waitresses are on their own schedule so they show up when they decide to and bring drinks when they want to. I did try the first couple of visits to get their attention several times at the end with eye contact and a nod, then raised the hand halfway, put a 20 franc note on the check on the table until finally to their SHOCK and HORROR I put the ball in their court by deciding to GET UP & PAY at the counter. Now I don’t have any problems anymore because that is how I pay. Great, no more waiting an extra 15 to 20 minutes to pay at the end. I don’t mind it anymore now. I noticed that the locals frantically stop them in their tracks at the table upon delivery to pay on the spot before they go off again. Might try that one today… I speak perfect French because I lived there for many years. No excuses…

I just got out of my first and last time in this horrible place. The waitress was very unpleasant, I asked for a hot dog 🌭 just horrible, the worst part was that she saw that it wasn't going well and nothing. I don't recommend this place 😡

Be careful at the front desk. Their service staff are scammers one after another. When I first arrived at the hotel, a receptionist told me that the parking fee was 50 cents per hour. The next day I stopped at the door and asked the receptionist again. He told me that it would cost 30 Swiss francs to park overnight. When I told him about the parking fee on the first day, he told me that parking for 11 hours on the first day would cost 22 euros (note that they told me on the first day It’s 50 cents an hour). Finally, I asked him if there was any free parking nearby. He told me that there was only a McDonald’s nearby that had free parking and it would have to leave at 8 o’clock tomorrow morning. People like us who live in Europe don’t know about McDonald’s. Are all parking spaces free? I was not familiar with the place, so I parked in their hotel for two nights and charged me nearly 50 francs. There was free parking directly opposite and next door to their hotel. The next day was a legal holiday and you could park for free on the road. The damn fat man never mentioned it, use this money to buy you a coffin, you won't live much longer at your weight, and your originally happy journey was ruined by you, a liar!
