Hotel Mon Repos

An excellent hotel in great location for visiting the main sights of Geneva. It is opposite a park and a few minutes walk from the lake. We shared a junior suite with our teenage daughter on the sofa bed. Both beds were very comfortable. The room was large and came with complimentary coffee and soft drinks which were replenished each day. The room had a little balcony at the front. The hotel is on a busy road but we could only hear the ambulance sirens when the windows were shut! The room had excellent air conditioning. Our son stayed in standard double which was also comfortable and quiet (at the back of the hotel overlooking a courtyard) but without the complimentary drinks! All staff were very friendly and helpful (provided us with plug adapters and ice!). We parked our car in their car park for 26 CHF and had to pay extra for the electric charging point but this ensured the car was secure. We were sent a link for a free travel pass before arriving which allowed us to use the bus (2 minutes from hotel), trams and water buses which are all very regular and easy to use.

Spacious well decorated room with excellent bed. The whole hotel has a fittingly calm atmosphere given its name. The bar has good light evening meals and the staff are helpful.

The 5th floor room was comfortably decorated and furnished, full of light, with a balcony which was pleasant to use. Everything was spotlessly clean and well finished. The bed was extremely comfortable. The staff, especially the reception staff, were fantastic. The breakfast was excellent. Five minutes walk to the Botanical Garden. Free bus journeys into town and to travel hubs. We would go back and spend days there very happily.

Everything! A few days before our booking I emailed as to the best way to get to the hotel. Received a reply very quickly. And also got a free travel pass to use on the local buses and water shuttle boats and trams. Used to get from airport to hotel really easily. You take the No 5 bus from outside airport terminal, go out to the left, walk straight up then turn right, then left again, the stop is outside a pizza restaurant, direction to Thonex Vallard. Get off at Nations stop, then walk across the road, you'll see the 3 legged chair then the bus stop for No 11 or 22 is to the right, get off at Jardine Botanique. Going back to the airport is in reverse, and the no 11 or 22, you take from the same stop you got off, outside the pharmacy, as the bus turns around there. You'll see a hotel Eden on the corner the hotel Mon Repos is next door. Hannah on reception very helpful, as are all the staff. Hotel tastefully decorated and has a relaxing atmosphere. Rooms are clean, with safety deposit box, tea coffee making facilities, tv, adjustable temperature, fridge. Rooms tidied and cleaned every day. En-suite with shampoo-shower gel, hand wash, good hairdryer. Breakfast amazing lots of choices including a few hot dishes eggs, sausage, bacon and hash browns. Fruit, juices, pancakes, pastries, yogurts, bread and lots more. Fabio behind the bar is friendly and helpful. It is about a 20-25 min walk to the centre or a bus ride on the no 25 or 1 to the hotel with your pass, you just get on the bus we were never asked to show it. You also get to the train station or bus station within 10 mins, buses are frequent. We also did a trip on the bus with key tours to Chamonix. We took the train to Annecy in France, remember euros if going into France. And train to Montreux. All worth a visit, would definitely stay here again.

Excellent location, close to the park, lake, restaurants, and international conference facilities. The hotel staff is professional and very helpful. If you stay a bit longer, get ready to be used to the same breakfast, but since it is Switzerland quality, it is still enjoyable.
