Hotel Suisse
This was a typical European hotel in the best way. Everything was clean and in order. There was a small nitpick, but not worth mentioning. The staff was excellent and the breakfast was much better than expected.

Ruby Claire Hotel Geneva
Great location, very clean. Stayed in a cosy room, it lived up to it's name. Check-in and check-out was super easy. We opted for the drinks voucher instead of the room clean for the weekend. This was a nice option and the cocktail's we got were great. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

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.

IntercityHotel Geneva
Very clean and modern. The staff was courteous, friendly, and prompt with fulfilling requests. The walk to the tram was just outside the hotel making it very easy to get downtown. I would definitely stay here again.
