Ruby Claire Hotel Geneva
Great location, comfortable room. Nice breakfast. Stayed one night. Very loud late night revelers. Wish we had a room with a view, but we were happy to be able to check in early.

There was renovation work going on between 9am -5pm monday to friday. I had not been informed by the hotel prior to my stay there of this ongoing work. I would have changed accomodation if i had known but i ended up getting very little rest and peace. Not great !
