I had a pleasant stay at Hotel Cornavin. the location was excellent, right across from the train station, which made getting around Geneva super convenient. The rooms were spacious and very clean, and I appreciated the quiet despite the hotel's bustling surroundings. However, I did face a couple of minor inconveniences regarding the bathroom privacy and bed arrangements that could use some improvement.

I stayed at Hotel Cornavin for a couple of nights and found the location to be incredibly convenient, right next to the main train station. It made getting around Geneva easy and accessible. While my room was basic and clean, the lack of decor made it feel a bit sterile. The breakfast offered a nice view on the 8th floor, but the selection was somewhat limited. Overall, it’s a solid choice for a short business stay, but perhaps not ideal for a longer visit.

Breakfast on the 8th floor offered lovely views, but the selection felt limited. It was a typical Swiss breakfast with cereals, eggs, and pastries but perhaps a bit overpriced for what was offered.

The hotel's location could not be more perfect, literally steps away from the Geneva Main Station. This made it incredibly easy for me to traverse the city and also provided quick access to public transportation.
