Ruby Claire Hotel Geneva
Excellent to have the library area available for relaxing in and making hot drinks whenever we wanted. Really appreciated this facility. Also great to have bar vouchers instead of daily room cleaning!

Hotel Suisse
Perfect location if traveling via train to and from Geneva. Old town approx 15 min walk. Very small room though and it’s a bit stuffy unless you sleep with the window open. Bring earplugs due to city noise.

Hotel Royal
Excellent standard of room. Only thing that disappointed us was the fact we stated we needed a twin room twice in advance of coming. When we got to the room, there was 2 duvets but the bed was not split and even when we did this, it was still sharing one double bed sheet. Thank you to the check in ...

Hotel Edelweiss
Great service. The restaurant was amazing. The only negative was the shower head was very low/ in 5’11 and I couldn’t fit under. Other than that it was greats I would stay there again for sure. Largest room we had out of the 4 hotels we stayed at in Switzerland
