Hotel Suisse
Good hotel with a great location, very close to the railway station and within walking distance of the bus station. Room was comfortable, staff were friendly and the breakfast was lovely. Well worth a visit.

Ruby Claire Hotel Geneva
Beautiful hotel and location, rooms are modern and spacious - fabulous views on higher floor. Only let down is front desk staff, they were quite rude and unhelpful. It didn’t spoil our stay but they could do with customer service training!

The hotel's location is exceptional, right near the walking street with all the beautiful shops. The hotel is gorgeous, clean, and comfortable. The rooms are small, but completely adequate. If I return to Geneva, I will definitely stay here again.

Hotel Edelweiss
Hotel was nice. Staff were friendly. Only downside was the whole hotel smelt of cheese. I understand that the restaurant is attached to the hotel but something needs improving as its not nice to smell it in your room and hallways.

Hotel N'vY
Lovely hotel, really appreciated the family adjoining rooms, however the there seemed to be issues controlling the temperature so we had to sleep with the windows open at end of November to have the room at a decent temperature which was then noisy. Breakfast was very good, great variety but to charge ...
