Hotel Cornavin

Rooms are unique but a bit dated style wise. However they are very functional. The keys are a bit bulky... not sure why they don't use the RFID or NFC cards. But still it was unique. The staff is very efficient, personable and quick. Location is prime, right downtown and next to the train station. Plus you get a free city travel pass for your stay. All the public transportation is free. Which is awesome because the city bus, streetcar and rail limes run on swiss precision! 😉😄

I am not sure I understand all the good reviews. The rooms are of course fine, but not very practical, let alone cozy or extraordinary. For this the prices are simply too high. Complimentary coffee and tea, water kettle, this is good. Toilet with glass wall in the room, I hope this is only in the single rooms. Nice view for south facing rooms, the north rooms look at the railway. Breakfast more like a 2 star hotel, solid but somewhat loveless. Lack of sugar free oats is strange, that is normally a universal standard at hotel buffets outside of Italy.

Location is excellent if you need to get to the airport quickly and the hotel is adjacent to the railway station. This was my reason for booking! Breakfast choice was poor, I would avoid buying it, even with the scenic views - you can go up to the 8th floor anytime for those photos! Furniture was dated in the room and the bed was one of the lowest I have slept on! However the room was clean and staff were polite when I checked in. Even storing my luggage as I arrived early .
