Hotel Bernina Geneva
So conveniently close to the train station! Very walkable to all the sites I wanted to see. Highly recommend for something simple and no frills, especially id you don’t plan to be in your room much.

Hôtel des Alpes
Great staff and location of the hotel, breakfast was simple but nice, the room was clean but the walls were dirty. The room’s main door didn’t have any additional locks (internal security) which didn’t make me feel safe throughout the night so that’s a thing to be aware of if you’re gonna be travelling ...

Ruby Claire Hotel Geneva
Clean comfortable room. Quirky floor plan and basic included services (tea and soluble coffee in a galley per floor). Bar is great, but food options are a bit minimal. Breakfast is good but very expensive (as everything in Geneva?).
