Hotel Suisse I think it's called. Right opposite the main station in Geneva.
When I checked the last train is 23:05 out of sion or the first train next morning is about 4:30 ish. The game has a 6pm kick of (English time) so that would make it 7pm their time. Plenty of time to make the last train
I went the last time we played there (about 1997) and we ended up in Zurich the night before and got a coach down. From what I remember it was a long drive!!

Heads up to you and all: Last train is at 11, the match kicks off at 7, so roughly a 2 hour window. The ground is on the outskirts of the city so move sharpish. If they have the buses laid on back into the city like most away's then sound, if not, move sharpish, there are loads looking at the last train.

stadium is about a mile from the station so can easily walk it in about 20-25 mins - those going back to Geneva would have time for a few beers and still make the last train. We have to get the 9.55 to Basel and as long as we aren't keept in too long should get that ok ( I hope !)

You should have plenty of time to get that last train to Geneva. And a plus is that the trains here are pretty huge!
