Disappointed

Disappointing stay - very dated bathroom, heating did not work (was given a fan heater on request) and only 2 electrical sockets in the whole room (which the lamps were plugged into). Rest of hotel pleasant and lovely breakfast. But not good to walk into a cold room in December, also with no kettle.

Well worth considering

Enjoyed our two night stay. Excellent location, not too far from the railway station and close to the lake/promenade There were features of an 'old grandeur', many of which I quite appreciated. We had a very nice large room with a view of the lake and the casino. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom could have done with a bit of updating, but was o.k. One receptionist was really nice and helpful, the second was perhaps a bit 'off hand', but nothing to complain about. On arrival we were provided with a pass for free public transport in the local area. The restaurant staff were very friendly and welcoming at breakfast. The breakfasts themselves were a little basic, but I still enjoyed the experience. I realised they do not provide a kettle in the room, so I took our own, only to find that you need a special Swiss adapter and none of those I had taken used previously in other European countries, Canada, New Zealand etc. worked there. They will provide you with a flask of hot water though at reception if you ask. Need to take your own tea bags, coffee etc.

Great hotel in the perfect location

We really enjoyed our stay, it really was in the perfect location. We had a beautiful corner room with two balconies that had spectacular views of the mountains. The only details we would add is that the pillows were a little uncomfortable and that the shower wasn’t the best. Other than that, great stay!

Good location but tired looking.

Old and tatty. Grateful for lift up to reception. Room tiny and old. Missing tiles on bathroom floor. Shower is antiquated. Pre booked breakfast CHF 18 or 20 at the door. Not worth the money. Nothing hot, 2 types of sliced meat andv2 cheese. Some bread, pastries, yoghurt, fruit. Staff i encountered were nice. Beware when you check out that they hit you with city tax, which I knew nothing about.

Great location close to the train station, the lake and many bars and restaurants. Room was very neat and clean. Staff was super friendly and helpful. No air conditioning, which is not uncommon for hotels in Europe, but just be warned. There was a fan provided that kept us cool. The pillows were really soft and floppy so we requested extras.

I spent a great couple of days at this hotel - a very easy, convenient location in Montreux at an affordable price. The staff were always warm and welcoming, and the room was comfortable for me as a single traveller. The bathroom could do with being updated but overall I was very happy with the convenience of the location (right across from the Casino with the lake just behind it), the cost, and a wonderful time in Montreux. If you go, get the Montreux Riviera pass for free from the hotel - gives you some discounts on train travel (especially if you go up to the Rochers de Naye - the card offers a big discount) and free use of the buses. The casino has a public pool (just a few minutes from the hotel) which is available to use at a decent price, and the walks on the lake are wonderful. I would recommend Montreux and the surrounding area for a wonderful time in Switzerland! And this hotel was a great affordable base to explore from.

Classic hotel with adorably small elevator and multi-step stairs entry like you were in a Casablanca movie. Windows open up wide to view of street and glimpse of the lake. Friendly and helpful staff. Short walk to lake, restaurants, casino, groceries and shopping.

Excellent place to live. The hotel is located in the heart of the city and has access to so many restaurants. They have a parking garage and was easily accessible which made our lives simpler. The hotel staff were amazing and were always ready to help. They all speak English and are truly very understanding.
