ibis Thonon Centre

I wanted to stay in Thonon (which I visited at least 15 years ago) and was mainly attracted by the Ibis Thonon Centre offering half-board (Mon - Fri). It proved an excellent and reasonably-priced choice. The hotel sits alongside a small park, close to Lac Leman, and the integrated reception office/bar/dining room looks over a very pleasant patio where customers can take drinks. The hotel is a few minutes walk from the town centre and a Carrefour supermarket, and the lake-shore, including a passenger ferry to Ouchy in Switzerland (pricey) is easily accessible via a short, steep, cheap, frequent funicular link. The hotel staff were absolutely brilliant. A few spoke English and they really do work as an enthusiastic team. I half-promised that I'd be back in the next year or two. There is a frequent train into Geneva city and the new rail link beyond Eaux Vivres station means you can be in the city centre in just over an hour (avoid rush hour travel).

Staff were friendly and helpful especially Pamala who did exceptional work securing a taxi at a difficult time and Bernard in the restaurant/bar who introduced us to the best of the wines from Haute-Savoie. Locality was superb, easy access to the town and lakeside.

Great location for the start of our Alps tour, motorcycles were fairly secure outside reception with staff on all night, friendly and helpful staff on reception, great views, sat outside having a beer

Excellent location, both from the shopping center, harbour & Christmas Market 🎄 Very polite and helpful staff, room was as expected and I already know from the Ibis hotels, comfortable bed, very nice ambience around the reception and breakfast area.

Great location; close to everything. Good breakfast. Specious room.
