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.
