Hotels in Geneva & Car Rentals
Warning: This is a page prepared for the the WWW '94 conference
Workshop "Teaching and Learning with the Web..
Since Hotels rarely go away, most pointers should still work. Prices though
did change of course - DKS/2007.
List of Hotels
- Prices range from 50 CHF to a *lot*. The cheapest places
lack confort, may not be
quiet and lack showers in your room. (but there are showers on the floor).
For the moment I include cheap hotels only, for better ones ask
the tourist office. "Near" in this text means (mostly) less than
5 minutes to walk.
- Don't reserve a hotel at the airport if you want the cheapest ones. I
heard that they do not deal with cheap hotels. Take the train to
central (Cornavin) station first and ask there.
- Transportation:
Taxis are expensive, use public transportation or walk if you
want to save money:
- Taxis: Inital Charge: 5CHF, 2 CHF/km City, 3.50/km outside.
- Bus/traway: 2CHF for an hour + unlimited km/.
day passes, multi-tickets,etc. are available in most Kiosks
and some automats.
- Phone/Fax Numbers in this page: Add (+ 41 22) to the local phone numbers
- Prices are based on the Tourist Office List, May 1994
