“Easy Location and Individual”

Hotel Residence Le Montbrillant

13 Jun 2008

I stayed at this hotel. It was easy to book online. The hotel is located right next to the railway station. This is not a problem in terms of noise as the swiss trains are very quiet. So dont worry about this.

My room was 106 which looked out over the reception front door and was reasonable size. It was very easy to get to as it was a quick flight of stairs up from reception. When i checked in the reception gave me a travel card which provided free travel on the trains and buses for the duration.

The hotel people were very nice and helpful. I arrived late back 2230 and there was a drainsey smell outside. Not unusual in Europe. I have no complaints about this hotel The bed was comfortable and the shower room was well appointed. The wardrobe was also fine. I did not sample the mini bar. The only issue that I have is that at 0600 in the morning I was awoken by the breakfast music which is piped throught the tannoy speakers in the floor below. I could only hear the bass of the music but it was very annoying and did prevent me from sleeping. So my advice is insist on a room above floor 1. The breakfast was very basic but not untypical for a hotel of this type. It consisted of bread, eggs, juice, cheese, cold meats, yoogurts, cereal, coffee etc.

“The best location”

Hotel Residence Le Montbrillant

4 Apr 2008

This hotel is located in front of the station.
Their breakfast starts at 6am.
Therefore it is very convenient if you have an early flight from Geneva or go on an excursion by train.
Front staffs are very polite and nice.
Rooms have been renovated recently and become better than before.

    • Liked — location and early breakfast
    • Disliked — plice is slightly high for our budget

1/1 found this review helpful

Stayed two nights at the Montbrillant and was very pleased with my choice of hotel in Geneva. It's location is ideal as it is next to the railway station, (6 mins by train to the airport), but within a 5 minute walk you are by the wonderful lake and in the centre of this very nice city.
Hotel staff were very polite and friendly, especially the reception and breakfast waiter. Breakfast was a Continental style buffet with good choice of fresh fruits, cheeses, cold meats etc.
Room was small but adequate as I was travelling alone and very clean. Will certainly be stauing again at the Montbrillant...good value for money.

“Good service, but very small rooms and missing A/C”

Hotel Residence Le Montbrillant

Save Review
2 of 5 stars
Oulu, Finland
23 Oct 2006

Montbrillant was nicely located near bus and railway stations and walking distance away from centre. One block away from bus stop to the convention centre. Room was clean but extremely small (appr. 10 sq meters). Service was good and restaurant downstairs served great pizzas.

Major drawback was missing A/C. During my stay, extreme heat wave harassed Central Europe and ceiling fan did not provided any help.

Overall, it would have been quite neutral experience without heat wave. However, my opinion is, that Montbrillant is not four star Hotel as sometimes advertised. I would give 2.5 to 3 stars.
