Hotel Montbrillant

I travel a lot by train in Europe and look to stay "close to train stations"... but this was just so "unexpected". Got off train, came out and right there standing was Hotel Montbrillant. Plus the Reception Desk (at time it was M. Cissé) was so warm and welcoming. Just what you need at end of your journey! I particularly asked for room overlooking station.... and just loved the views across Geneva : mountains - lake - fountain, etc and the trains passing below. Would definitely come back here and will always be at Hotel Montbrillant.

Spacious accommodation with kitchenette (basic), large fridge, dining table, coffee table and wardrobe. 3 large windows, comfortable bedding, clean, modern bathroom. Location was literally across the road from the main Geneva train station - cafés, shops all a 2 to 5 minute walk away. Laundromat next door at side of hotel with inexpensive washing machines. Trams, buses and trains all run from this main Cornavin Geneva Railway station. Hotel gives you a Geneva Transport Card which allows you to use all local Geneva public transport (train/bus/tram/ferry chattels across the lake) for free, including from the station to the airport. Train noise was not noticeable - we noticed trains slow right down and enter station slowly - wasn’t an issue for us.

I had a short but very comfortable stay at Hotel Montbrillant, Geneva. The location is truly unbeatable—right next to the main train station and within walking distance of all the key attractions in the city. A special shoutout to the gentleman at the reception during the day (apologies for not catching his name). He was exceptionally polite and courteous. We had driven down, and the hotel parking was a bit away from the main entrance. Despite having the map, I struggled to find the parking spot. He went out of his way, got into my car, guided me to the correct location, and even walked me back to the hotel. That level of personal attention and kindness made an impression. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Geneva—especially for those looking for convenience, comfort, and great hospitality.

You are so close to the train station, that you could roll out of bed, and be on the platform, that’s off putting for folk, but see once you closed the windows, didn’t even know they where there! But it mean you can get the train off the airport, and straight into the hotel! What I loved Was they gave me and my Mum a free transport pass for our full stay, so we got to travel on public trams, trains buses and shuttle boats, and we used this to our full advantage, and we are thankful cause we don’t think we could have covered all that we did in the short amount of time! The rooms are comfy the duvets are the thick ones you expect to find at home, so you just melt into your bed, also ours came with a bath too! The staff were friendly but rarely seen them, that’s not because they weren’t there but because we didn’t need them. What a fabulous stay ☺️

This was the second time we stayed here. The location couldn't be better and the staff couldn't be more friendly and helpful. The room was large and comfortable and really good value for money. It was great to have the kitchenette.
