YOTEL is close to the airport with a shuttle, though the shuttle does not run in the afternoon. We needed to take a taxi which was 65 Francs. I chose the hotel for the rooftop terrace with views of Lake Geneva but it was not open so that was disappointing. The hotel was clean, with a modern and minimalist decor. Since it is located away from the city, public transportation tickets were provided and it was convenient to have an onsite restaurant which was open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
