We needed a close hotel to the train station and Expedia suggested this one. Lots of restaurants nearby. Pleasant staff at the front desk. Nice spacious room. Perfect for our needs, though the bathtub was deep to get in and out of (bad knees). The breakfast on the 8th floor was good and the view outstanding. Definitely will stay here again.
Across the street from train station. Very convenient!
Windows are soundproof! Black out curtains. Very comfortable beds and pillows, room size great. Near great restaurants.All walkable. A lot of our trip was by train, so very convenient!
Great location. Close to transit and restaurants and all conveniences. Staff were very nice and accommodating. Room was basic but clean. Loved the free transit pass. Would stay there again
The hotel is located in the perfect place if you aren't looking to stray far from the main train station in Geneva. The building may look aged, but the interior is quite modern and pretty. We had no issues during our stay and would recommend Hotel Cornavin to anybody!
What a great hotel, I highly recommend. Even though it's right across from the train station it was incredibly quiet and cozy. Great breakfast! I would definitely stay again.
