Hi Scarlett
yes, this is not really the proper forum where to post this request, nevertheless this is my contribution based on my experience:
the main website used in Switzerland for housing is www.homegate.ch, but usually aparments are only rented for long term (to people with a B or C permit) and without furniture, then even if you would be able to get one it would be anti-economic to furnish it only for 6 months.
The hotel is in my opinion not an option (unless your company is paying for it and doesn't care about the cost), as a single night in an hotel could easily cost 200 CHF, anyway you can check on www.booking.com
Bed and breakfast could be an option (www.bnb.ch) but I don't know anything about it.
There are renting companies that rent furnished temporary apartments for something starting from 2500/3000 CHF per month:
www.apartments-swiss-star.ch
www.visionapartments.eu
www.accademia.li
www.cityappartements.ch
Another possibility: if you are lucky you can find somebody that is going on holidays for some months and is subletting his/her apartment
But the main option in cases like yours is to share an apartment (to rent a room) with somebody else.
I'd say that for the last two options the glocals "Classified" andf other expats' webites forums will be a good starting point for your reserch.
Good luck !

Depends on the budget or the conditions you want.
A service apartment of 30 m2 is more or less 2500/month.
Some big companies has 10% discount.
Serviced means: Fully furnished, expenses included and weekly cleaning.
