Novotel Geneve Centre
Everything good? Just like in the photos. The location is ideal for walking to the city center and crossing the bridge... close to lots of shops and restaurants. Best of all, I was able to walk—with my suitcases—to the train station both when I arrived and when I left; it took 5 minutes, tops.

Hotel Eden Genève
the staff was friendly and helpful. They gave directions and suggestions throughout our stay. The property is walking distance to the Botanical Gardens and UN, and only one or two bus / trams away from all sites we visited including CERN and the old town / St. Pierre Cathedral.
