What guests think

At Hotel Cornavin, travellers consistently praise the unbeatable location by Geneva’s main station, frequent cleanliness, and generally helpful staff, while noting dated features, basic rooms, recurring temperature control problems, and mixed experiences with street or track noise.

Rooms range from small to spacious, with strong blackout curtains and some great high-floor views, but several guests reported weak or absent air conditioning or heating. Breakfast is generally considered decent to good with standout top-floor views, though some found the selection limited and the price high. A practical choice for short stays and train travelers.

The staff were friendly and helpful. We found the location to be ideal - conveniently located adjacent to the main train station, shopping, and dining, and has easy access to public transit buses and trams. It is an easy walk to Lake Geneva (Lake Leman to locals). Old Town Geneva is just across the river. No in-house dining except breakfast (19 CHF) but many restaurants nearby. Only down side is that the AC struggled to keep the room cool but it was the middle of summer.

全体的に安っぽいつくりで古びたイメージでしたが、何よりも残念だったのはサウナが故障？メンテ中？とかで使えなかったことです。今回のホテル選定の一番のポイントでもあったのでとても残念でした。Websiteに記載してくれていれば他を選んだのに、とても残念な滞在となりました。ただし、部屋からもレストランからも、眺望がとてもよく、この点はプラスです。

Facilities are clean. The hotel is located in a safe place and very closed to the central station. There is underground shopping street, which can be accessed through the stairs in front of the hotel. There are a gym and a sauna on the basement floor. Please note, there is no toothbrush and slipper.

Comfortable room right next to the train station but surprisingly quiet despite that. Great location not to far from the heart of everything. Gym has poor internet reception (as it’s deep in the basement) and lacks enough equipment. Hotel provides free laundromat use (and I found out too late that not all hotels in Switzerland are that gracious and some charge exhorbitant prices). Shower drained slowly. Overall a good experience!

This is hands down the best place to stay in Geneva. The breakfast room has glass walls which allow for a spectacular, once in a lifetime view of The Swiss Alps and Geneva. No other hotel in the country offers such a view.

Price quality a very good option. People at the reception were very friendly and helpful. Room was perfectly clean and had everything for a comfortable stay. The hotel is right next to a tram rail so sometimes you feel some vibrations but not in a way that it is a bother. Wouldn't recommend the breakfast though as it's quite expensive compared to neighbouring stores and bars.

This is an excellent hotel located 150 feet from the central train station. It is in great condition and the breakfast is good. The only reason why I did not give it 5 stars is that the room was very hot (in April) and there was no A/C controls in it. At night I had to open windows facing the railroad tracks so there was a lot of noise. If you decide to stay there, please ask for a room facing away from the trains.

Room we had very strong chemical smell, couldn’t stay in that room when we complained they moved us to the top floor which was a great room, fresh, airy, bright and we could open the windows which gave us fresh air. There’s no concierge service at all, no one to help with our luggage or guide us to our room. Hotel looks and feels tired, staffs attitude matched the hotel. This hotel should be 3 stars.

Sehr gut gelegenes Hotel mit sehr freundlichem Personal. Das Hotel ist modern, aber schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen. So verfügt das Zimmer nur über wenige Steckdosen, der Fernseher ist klein und kurz vor End-of-Life, die Betten sind etwas Basic und die Steuerung der Raumtemparatur geht fast nicht. Immer hin lassen sich die Fenster öffnen. Grösster Minuspunkt war die grosse Hitze im Zimmer, welche sich nicht regulieren liess. Daher war der Komfort im Zimmer recht mies.

O hotel é excelente. Mesmo que seja do lado da estação principal de Genebra não tivemos problemas com o som ou barulhos. Se tiver sorte de pegar o quarto da frente, a vista é bem bonita para a catedral. O café é bem suíço não excede em opções, mas é eficiente, algo parecido com granolas, compotas, pães, ovos mexidos e salsicha. Sustenta bem o turista que vai perambular pela cidade. Algumas atendentes falam português, o que ajuda. Além disso, recebemos passes de transporte púbico pela cidade nos dias que ficamos lá. Com certeza recomendo.
