• Youth Hostel Geneva, Rue Rothschild 30 (Tram 13 to Môle), ☎ +41 22 732 62 60, www.yh-geneva.ch. A clean well maintained place. Well placed for access to the bars and restaurants of the Paquis, and only a 15-minute walk from the central station. Floors, lockers, and doors, unfortunately, are all fairly loud, and if staying in a shared room, you must bring ear plugs. 25CHF and up.

• City Hostel Geneva, Rue Ferrier 2 (from the main train station it's a five minute northbound walk up Rue de Lausanne), ☎ +41 22 901 15 00 (fax: +41 22 901 15 60), www.cityhostel.ch. A clean and hassle-free, if somewhat soul-less, hostel located near the budget food haven of Paquis and the central train station. Laundry, internet, lockers and communal kitchens are available for two to four person dormitories (28CHF and up) as well as single (63CHF and up) and double rooms (70CHF and up).

• Cité Universitaire, Avenue Miremont 46, 01210 Ferney Voltaire, France (bus number 3 to Champel), ☎ +41 22 839 22 22 (fax: +41 22 839 22 23), www.unige.ch/cite-uni. A huge dorm space with 500 beds, which means that if all else fails you can probably sleep here and it's cheap. It is a bit far out of the old town though, about 2km south on the bluff of Champel, which overlooks the Arve river across from Carouge. Do remember that, because it is not a hotel, the reception closes at 10PM. If you do stay there check out the tower of Champel in the morning. 16-30CHF.

• Hôtel de la Cloche, 6, rue de la Cloche (In the Pâquis, take bus number one to Place de Navigation), ☎ +41 22 732.94.81 (fax: +41 22 738.16.12), www.tbh-ge.ch/cloche. This charming, clean, and relatively inexpensive family run bed and breakfast shares its tiny street with the cab stand of the Hilton. It is usually full so do book ahead! 85-140CHF.

• Hotel Formule 1, Route de Meyrin, 01210 Ferney Voltaire, France, ☎ +33 891 705 254, www.hotelformule1.com/formule1/fichehotel/gb/for/2257/fiche_hotel.shtml. Right behind the airport on the French side. Inexpensive but still a good standard since it belongs to the Accor hotel chain. 31€.

• Hotel de Geneve, Famille Ray Place Isaac Mercier 11201 GENEVE, ☎ +41 22 732 32 64. checkin: 30/3/09; checkout: 02/04/09. 5 minute walk from Cornavin Station.4 bus stops away from St. Pierre Cathedral. 84-133€.
