Detailed Reviews
Very friendly staff, very conveniently located (basically at the main train station, so some rooms are a bit noisy if you're particularly sensitive), cleanliness and room comfort were alright, but definitely nothing in this hotel reaches the 4 star level they claim, which probably explains the pretty convenient price for Geneva standards. My room was very hot and I couldn't manage to make the AC function (but maybe it was just me and to be honest I didn't ask for help), so I cooled it down by opening the window. It got a bit noisy from the trains, but it made me discover a nice private balcony with a beautiful view of the city. I didn't eat the breakfast, so I cannot comment on that. All in all my stay was good and Wirth its value, but again, it's by far not what you expect at a 4 star hotel.

The location of the hotel was excellent! Just outside the train station and only a couple of blocks away from the center. The room was quite vast and the bed was comfy. The reception granted to us a voucher for one day free transport.
The building was "tired" with sloppy and rushed maintenance. The WC door would not secure (close) properly and the bathrooms in general gave you the impression of not clean - even though they were clean. This should not be considered as a 4 star hotel. We did not try the breakfast as it was not included in the room fees and cost an additional 18cfr per person.

I chose this hotel as I had an early morning train to catch the next morning. I knew it was close but was delighted to see it was less than a five minute walk (see picture from my room).
I would recommend this area as well as the bars and restaurants around are slightly less expensive and it's probably the closest Geneva gets to an alternative scene.
My only slight complaint is that the breakfast items were not replenished. As I arrived about half way through the sitting I had less choice than if I'd arrived at the start.
Would definitely stay again though either to get the train or for a longer stay.

Great for the price, Very hlepful staff,Alan in reception was very helpful and provided us with information on the city and where to go.
A very convenient location, just in font of the main train station and very close to the center and the lake.
The rooms were clean and nice, but as they are very close to the train lines there will be some noise when windows are opened, thus it is better to leave them closed.
Some rooms have european electric socket(two pins), but it is not always there so don't forget to get a universal adapter plug if visiting from france although the reception might have some adapters.

I spent 3 months at the Hotel Residence Le Monbrilliant between May and August 2021. It was my first stay but I had friends who had stayed there and were very happy. I loved my stay at the Montbrilliant. I had a super spacious room on the 5th floor with a small kitchenette. Much bigger than usual hotel rooms.
The bed was extremely comfortable with high quality beddings and towels. The bathroom was modern. I had one small issue with the showerhead but the service was so quick and all taken care of.
The staff is simply fantastic. They are professional but very very helpful. Olivier in particular was very very helpful. The rooms are clean. I came to know the cleaning staff and they are all lovely and hardworking.
I was so comfortable during my time at the hotel. The location is ideal- right next to Gare Cornavin. But absolutely no noise.
This hotel is my "home away from home" and I will definitely return. It was such an improvement over the Air BnB experiences I had in Geneva (hit and miss). This was definitely a big hit with me.
Thank you to all the staff at the Montbrilliant for making my 3month stay so pleasant, comfortable and welcome.

I have to say hotel Montbrillant is an excellent place where I stayed a full week for business.
Not only did I enjoy my stay as I was put in a comfy room (with great cleaning) but I was particularly impressed by the quality of the staff and especially both the hotel manager and Océane at the front desk. I forgot my computer in my hotel room and when I realized the staff looked for it, contacted me, packed it extremely carefully and gave it to the pick up person who shipped it back to me in France. They were even willing to advance the fees for the customs ! I am very grateful to them. And highly recommend it !

We stayed at the Le Montbrillant. On arrival we were led to an adjoining entrance in the same building with a massage business in the hallway. I found the room to be something similar to a hostel, or maybe an institutional unit with severely dated amenities. Wallpaper was peeling from the wall and had been taped back on unsuccessfully. There was no working air so when I woke up sweating in the night I had to open the window that happened to face the train station. This led to a night of strange noises and overheard interesting conversations. If this room was priced accordingly that might have been fine, but the room was not priced accordingly but was instead priced as a 4 or 5 star hotel. I cannot and would not recommend this hotel.

A lovely hotel, in a fantastic location (right next to the main railway station), decor full of character, reasonable price, everything one would want from a hotel. Unfortunately, on day 2, the automatic doors leading to the street malfunctioned; they should have stayed open while I was walking through, but instead they closed on my foot, causing a 90 % rupture of my Achilles tendon. The hotel has sent me a lovely email of condolence, but has refused to let me contact their of insurance company (nor even given me their details), refused to give me any compensation for my painful injury, and even refused to re-imburse me the room rate for my 2-night stay. This was a most disappointing result, and not what I had expected from a Swiss hotel ( where in Switzerland the hotels have such a high reputation for professionalism). I hope this incident never repeats itself when a child is going through the doors, because a child could easily be killed.

Room was ok, silent, clean. Breakfast a "desaster": cold and unheated dining-room, little choice of bread, jam, cheese, egg-maschine was broken, cutlery dirty, coffee cold. Was surely not worth 18 CHF!!

Rooms are simple, but very clean and comfortable. Price is excellent for Geneva. Staff is very helpful. The hotel is next to the Geneva train station, which is very convenient. If you are sensitive to outside noise at night (like me), you might try asking staff for an interior room. I did this and they were very accommodating.
