What guests think

At Hotel Montbrillant, reviewers consistently praise the unbeatable location beside Cornavin station and easy access to transport, while feedback is mixed about noise from the street and trains, which some found intrusive and others said was manageable.

Many guests describe the staff as friendly and helpful. Rooms range from small and basic to spacious, with dated decor and thin walls noted, and some units offering kitchenettes. Facilities feedback is mixed: air conditioning works well for some but fails for others, parking is off site and can be costly, and occasional renovations have closed areas. Overall, expect a very convenient base with trade-offs in noise and modernity.

AC didn’t work for at least 3 days. Asked the front desk and they kept saying tomorrow they’ll have someone but no one ever came. The rooms are quite small, even with the kitchenette but the appliances like the fridge, kettle etc. are convenient and work well. Hotel is located right outside the train station which is nice but the entrance and elevator all looks a bit old and worn.

Excelente hotel. Literalmente em frente à estação de trem , o hotel fala que tem estacionamento mas na verdade é o estacionamento da estação. Chegamos de noite e foi meio complicado de entender e achar onde deveríamos deixar o carro. Não tomamos café da manhã no hotel, mas tem várias opções dentro da estação para escolher, que tem inclusive mercado. O quarto é confortável e o funcionário que fica na recepção super prestativo . Voltaria a ficar no hotel .

Le Montbrilliant a tous les atouts : la localisation, des chambres bien équipées, une literie confortable. Malheureusement leur climatisation ne fonctionne pas et quand on leur dit on nous explique que c’est en panne. Voilà : faites avec. Même pas un petit ventilateur pour aider. Quand à l’insonorisation des chambres : le voisin ou la voisine a regardé la télé jusque très tard et j’avais l’impression que la télé était dans ma chambre. Conclusion : le tarif relativement bas était un piège. L’hôtel ne tient pas ses promesses.

The hotel is located extremely close to the train station. It does not have a parking space. So have to park in the parking lot of train station, which is expensive. However, if you take a train, it is really convenient to stay in this hotel. The room is OK.

An aged formerly-grand railway hotel, now it is in a gritty section of town and it is quite run-down. We were surprised to find the restaurant and reception closed for ‘remodeling’, windows papered over, and a temporary reception desk perched in a hall. We were led around the corner to a service entrance to our room. The room had all the charm and cheer of mid-60’s, wallpaper peeling, a bathroom extremely unsuitable to mobility-limited people, and constant street noise all night. Moldy smelling halls. No breakfast available. Parking was a few marked spots in an insecure outdoor lot a block away. Maybe renovations will help, but this hotel has a very long way to go. The price should better reflect the many limitations and inconveniences. That said, it is very convenient to the rail station, but so are several better looking hotels.

This is a great location to get anywhere in the city and beyond. It is right next to the train station. We walked everywhere we needed to go. Shops and restaurants nearby. It is an older facility with stone walls that appear to have noise issues as I could hear the next door guest on the TV and on the phone. The staff was wonderful.

For a European hotel, this was a proper king size bed which was awesome for a great sleep before a long travel day. The restaurant attached to the hotel was amazing, and it’s literally right beside the train station & gave us free tickets to the subway to get to the airport which I didn’t even know was a benefit when I booked it. The bathroom was a bit small & I found I could hear all street noise & neighbour noise so that was my only slight downgrade from “excellent” to “good” but honestly it could’ve been that I just had a random bad sleep & I didn’t bother putting in ear plugs either. Overall a very good & convenient option!

Right next to the train station, so very convenient to get to the Geneva airport, but it was also too noisy to keep any windows open. (We couldn't get it cool enough in the room to sleep well.) Again, because it was so close to the train station it was a bit of a gritty neighborhood, but shops were very convenient (pharmacy, grocery, take-way meals.) The bed was comfortable and large but two wimpy pillows. We could hear EVERYTHING in the next room. The staff was very helpful, friendly and accommodating. I'd stay there again if I had an early flight or train to catch, but otherwise, I would stay elsewhere.

Går man igjennom og ut på den andre siden var det et mangfold av restauranter å velge i. Buss til og fra flyplassen stoppet foran hotellet. Frokosten kanskje ikke den mest mangfoldige men helt grei!

Walkable for the entirety of Geneva. Close to the train station but not woken up. Definitely NOT a 4-star hotel as updates needed, hotel seems old and facilities falling apart. Breakfast was poor, considering the price. Advertised time of 6am-10am, yet when I arrived at 7:45 there was hardly any choice left over, no breads, no croissants. I’d stay here again, but definitely would not pay for breakfast during my stay.
