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.
