Laura, Ireland

Room overlooked the lake with patio with table and chairs. Bed and room were clean and comfortable. Dining room was nice. All staff were friendly.

Bonnie, Canada

LCD location on lake but just far enough from town to be peaceful! Loved the balcony overlooking the lake! Loved the access to the waterfront promenade. Also the ‘Olde Worlde style!

Brian, Australia

Room was okay and had a great view. Hotel was quite "grand" and much focus was on Biotonus Section. eg Pool didn't open until after breakfast for hotel guests!

Brian, United Kingdom

I chose it as it was close to a function that I attended. It turned out that the lake view room was splendid.

Joao, Switzerland

the view from the room is amazing...the room are very spacious

Micky, India

Location and comfort was top notch and the best view of lake Geneva. Balcony view was amazing and the pedestrian road along the lake was picturesque. It didn’t get any better and this is probably one of the best hotels I’ve stayed at with booking. I would highly recommend this place

It looks a little dated but we loved its charm. No EU plug slots. Only the Swiss adapter so we borrowed one from reception.

One member of staff at breakfast !bwalked up and waiting and usually you give your room number but the staff member walked passed us? Yet would approach others at there tablet ! We were asked for tea/coffee ? Tea was brought over but no milk? No jugs for milk or egg cups for the boiled eggs! Felt a little ignored and a last beside us on the table sat down was told that he would be back to set table but was left waiting!! Room was too warm, pillows we're too soft but with that being little things it didn't ruin our stay I would be back soon! As montrouex is beautiful

Felt that the waiter in the exceptionally quiet restaurant in the evening couldn't really be bothered with the few guests. He was quite distant. Also felt that the menu was significantly over-priced for the options available even compared with nearby restaurants in Montreux.
Room was okay and had a great view. Hotel was quite "grand" and much focus was on Biotonus Section. eg Pool didn't open until after breakfast for hotel guests!
