the hotel should be 4 star hotel, the location, the staff, the service, etc. is way above 3 star hotel. the room is spacious and very clean and comfortable.

Gladys United Kingdom

Nice and big room with an old parquet floor that squeaks under your feet. They are renovating the Hotel, the bathroom is very modern with a good shower. But I hope they keep the old parquet floor and the historical elevator from 1911...

Sytseuz Netherlands

The hotel is about 10mns walk away from the main station, and only 2-3mns away from the Montreux riviera walk. There's a bus stop right next to it with multiple bus lines. Room was bigger than expected, and the bathroom too. Clean. Lots of towels provided. Comfortable large bed. Cozy balcony with a limited but nice view of the lake and mountains. Safe & fridge are available.

Khouryrt Lebanon

A special mention to Jamie (Concierge) for assisting us at every step and prompt support all across.

Pradhyumn India

The location from the hotel is just perfect. The rooms have exceptional view from the mountains. Car park is not far from the hotel. The staff was friendly.

Ünsiye Switzerland

As requested, a very good bed for two was supplied, (not two singles, thankfully). The location and staff are excellent. The hotel has a great vintage vibe to it and is not cooky-cutter in appearance, (we loved the elevator of all things!). Also, the price was very fair for the area. A great value!

Lonny Canada

The location was great; the staff was friendly; the amenities were lovely!

Emel Switzerland

Location was just perfect. The hotel is within walking distance to the lake, casino, port, shops and services (e.g. banks, pharmacies and train station).

John Switzerland

Great staff and hospitality. Very good breakfast (limited, but croissants and coffee were excellent). Rooms were hit or miss— basic, but charming with an old world feel— one had been updated nicely, while the other, right next door, had pretty daggy carpet and an early 90’s bathroom refurb. Rooms were hot in summer heat, but the front desk provided fans, and it was all good.

Emily United States of America

About ten minutes to go to train station. Nice staffs. Welcome water. The room is very very large.
