Three star hotel near the main train station. Old fashioned decor but spotless throughout the main area,bedroom and bathroom. We arrived early just after noon and our room was available which is always a bonus. Very friendly receptionists, who lent us an adapter. There was lovely toiletries included in the room, a small bottle of water, tea/coffee facilities .Our room faced the road/train station and while you could hear some traffic it wasn't disruptive. The hotel is worth what it costs, there are no frills but that is clear from their website.

The hotel is right in front of Cornavin Train Station, easy access to the station, restaurants nearby and Migros/ Coop inside the station. The room was old but clean with working amenities like lift and hot water. Breakfast was excellent for a Swiss hotel.Additional plus point : The hotel contacted me earlier to provide the Genève travel pass, great to have the pass early to get to the hotel from the airport.

I could be not be happier with this well located, clean and friendly hotel. My room had a balcony, spotless bathroom, comfy bed and suited me perfectly. Metres from the train station it’s a super location. I found it very quiet.

Very nice hotel with AC and fast elevators. The location is very convenient with the train station just across the street and the bus station less than 10 minutes away. Coop grocery store is just an escalator ride down so grabbing drinks and snacks was very convenient. They've kept the rustic charm of the hotel while modernizing important things like having AC and lighting. Front desk was very nice and spoke English. Room was clean and fairly spacious for being downtown.

For a 3 star hotel, I was impressed during my stay. The hotel is in a great location right opposite the main station, and my room was nice and modern and was cleaned very well. The breakfast was also nice, although there could have been more variety of food on offer. It would also be good to have a water fountain in the reception area seeing as the breakfast room is not open apart from in the mornings. A good stay overall.

Right opposite the station so very convenient. Arriving at Geneva airport the train takes only 7 minutes. Then a couple more minutes to exit the station and cross the road and you're there. Everywhere is easy to reach and public transport in the city is free for visitors with the Geneva Transport Card (the hotel will send an email a few days before with a link to register). Many of the main sights, including the Lake, are also within walking distance. The hotel itself was fine, nothing fancy but the room was comfortable and clean. The staff on reception were always friendly and helpful and the breakfast was good. It had all we needed as a base for a couple of days and we would stay here again.

I recently stayed at Hotel Suisse near the rail station at Cornavin in Geneva for a few nights. The property is nicely located if you prefer to be within walking distance to the city centre yet also not too far from the airport and Palexpo exhibition and trade centre, both of which are conveniently accessible by tram, train and bus from the hotel. Geneva Travel Pass included and was sent a few days prior to arrival. My room at Hotel Suisse was decent for the rate charged. Not much space but comfortable enough for a short stay where you don't plan to be in your room that much. Bed was decent comfortable, room included TV, small desk space and chair, fridge, kettle for coffee & tea, bathroom was similarly tight configuration. Wifi was fine, A/C worked well which was helpful due to extremely high temps during my stay. Lobby area includes seating area. My stay came with breakfast which was served on the 1/F from 7am (weekdays), 7.30am (weekends). This was a pretty good breakfast with a nice spread of muesli, fruits, basic cooked eggs, bacon along with a good selection of breads. Coffee and Juice provided as well. Seating area is nice and service friendly.

Hotel Suisse is located right across the street from the Geneva Train Station. In fact, you don't have to cross the busy throughfare to access the station, there's an entry way in the downstairs courtyard that leads to shops and directly into the station. Also, for convenience, there's a shop and go to pick up water, pastries, coffee, etc. |Once you land at the airport, you get on the train and take it one stop. (7 minutes). There are over 60 trains leaving from the airport daily. The hotel is a five-minute walk to the bus station where you can catch many day trips and five more minutes gets you on the shore of Lake Geneva itself. Hotel Suisse cannot be beat for location. Like all European hotels, the showers are small and so are the elevators. The AC was fine and hotel staff were friendly, accommodating and quick to please. The attendants at morning breakfast always had a smile. Breakfast itself was outstanding featuring: scrambled eggs, bacon, crepes, croissants and much more. It's 21 Swiss Francs per person. My lone concern about the Hotel Suisse is security. The front doors open automatically and many times there was no one at the front desk. The elevators are right there. However, there are cameras on all floors, and I did not encounter anyone who didn't belong in the building. I will add, my wife and I felt very safe walking around Geneva, even when we were out at night. It is a busy area with a McDonald's, Five Guys, and many coffeeshops and cafes nearby. Hotel Suisse is recommended!
