Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious, clean, and good for us to spread out, but they appeared outdated. The service was polite and helpful, although a bit less friendly compared to other places. The location was convenient, close to attractions, and had easy access to public transportation. The dining was satisfactory with a decent variety of food choices. The price seemed reasonable for the overall experience.
I was delighted with my stay at this hotel. The rooms were large and roomy, perfect for us to spread out and relax, with lovely French doors opening to a balcony offering picturesque views of the casino, lake, and mountains. The rooms felt traditionally French, charmingly decorated, and equipped with all the essential amenities like a hair dryer and kettle. However, the service, while helpful and quick, could have been a bit friendlier. The location was ideal for exploring the center, Castle Chillon, and local attractions, making it worth the slightly higher price. The dining experience was good, but a bit limited for the price paid. Overall, great value for money.
My stay at the hotel was wonderful. The location is super central with convenient amenities nearby, although there were a few minor drawbacks. The rooms were among the nicest I experienced during my trip, and the service was friendly and professional. I enjoyed the great location, but there were some minor inconveniences. The dining experience had its ups and downs, and the facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel was a standout on our trip, with spacious rooms, friendly service, and a fantastic location near the center of Montreux. The dining offered varied options but fell short in comparison to other local places. The overall experience was excellent with good value for money.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were spacious, with a lovely lounge area and a beautiful view outside the window. Checking in early was a pleasant surprise. The historical elevator and beautiful furnishings added a charming touch to the service, which was friendly, accommodating, and professional. The location couldn't have been better, just minutes away from the train station and overlooking a famous casino. The dining experience was okay, but the breakfast could have been better. Overall, a great value for money.
The hotel had rooms with a lot of character, spacious enough for three people to spread out, although it could have been even better with an electric water jug for tea/coffee on the balcony. The service was very kind and made me feel comfortable, although slightly less friendly compared to other places I've visited recently. The location was ideal, right next to Montreux Casino and the bus stop, perfect for exploring the area. The dining was good, served in what seemed like a ballroom, although not overly impressive. The facilities were adequate. The price seemed to justify the convenient location.
