I have stayed at the Mon Repos several times over the past decade while attending meetings at the various international organisations in Geneva. The most recent was in laste April 2007. The special rates available to meeting delegates make the Mon Repos an excellent choice. The rooms and hotel are always clean and tidy but are getting a bit old now. Rue de Lausanne can be a busy street at rush hour but traffic deminishes considerable outside these hours. The hotel is situated very close the botanic gardens and the lakeside parks across the road, which are excellent for rest and relaxation. I have always found the staff professional, friendly and willing to help. I would reccomend Mon Repos.

The hotel is in a convenient location near to Les Jardin Botanique, WMO and the lake. The no 1 bus to Gare Cornavin passes by the front door and the 28 bus to the airport is a couple of minutes walkaway. Alternatively the city is a 30 - 40 minute walk along the lake edge. Rue de Lusanne is a busy road and a room without a lake view is probably a quieter option.
The hotel was comfortable and good value for the price. There are a variety of room types and prices. Le petit dejeuner had a good range of cereals, yoghurts, fruit, cheeses and rolls. The hot foods were rather limited to scrambled eggs, sausages and rather fatty bacon.
The front desk staff were very helpful and friendly, and there were no problems with the bill.
This was my first stay in Geneva and the hotel was a pleasant stay for a base.

This hotel is close to the WTO, and UN. It took about 40 minutes to quickly walk to the old center. The room was very basic and the bed was not that comfortable. The bathroom looks like it had been recenlty redone and was small but beautiful and modern. Hairdryers are provided in the bathroom. The heating was not a problem. It was easy to take bus 28 to the airport which saved us from taking a cab.

I guess I stayed at the right time of year--I didn't have to deal with the previous poster's complaint of inadequate heating. The weather was perfect, so I didn't look to see the status of air conditioning or heating.

I stayed in room 142, which was a clean and spacious double. Strangely enough, the sink was in the room and the toilet and tub (with a handheld high-pressure shower head) in a separate room. No shampoo or bath soap provided, just a big bottle of shower gel.

If you want to hair dryer, you have to sign it out from the front desk, a practice I've never encountered before. There are umbrellas by the front door for guests to take on rainy days.

The hotel lobby is classy: beautiful and modern with lots of rich wood. The breakfast room was full of people every morning. I didn't spend time in the bar or the expensive restaurant. The staff were all very helpful.

What they call a business center is a corner of the lobby with a single computer attached to a (then) malfunctioning printer. Going on the Internet was free, but sometimes there's a long queue. There are no Internet cafes closer than 15-20-minute walks away.

The location is next to beautiful park-like areas (actually, they probably are parks) and close to UN buildings such as UNICEF. It took us about 20 minutes to walk to the Pregny Gate of the main UN campus. It's also a 20-minute walk to the train station in the other direction. (This is important if you hate spending money on the overpriced taxis in Geneva.)

I was happy with my stay there. All in all, it's a nice hotel.
