Top hotels in Rues Basses - Old Town
Ruby Claire Hotel Geneva
Nice hotel in the centre, easy to find shops, restaurants etc. around. Lovely bells in the arcade BUT it is not so easy to find the hotel. I liked the "upside-down" concept of having the reception at the top level

Hôtel Longemalle
This is by far my favorite hotel to stay in Geneva! The location is very central to shopping, restaurants, sight seeing, and activities on both sides of the lake. The hotel recently underwent a refresh and the rooms are lovely — comfortable, clean and beautifully decorated. I look forward to my return. ...
