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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Old, noisy, uncomfortable
It is clear that old hotels can have their flaws but also charm. This hotel is howe er due to renovatio n because the sanitation us below standards even of a low budget hotel. The hotel is housed next to the busiest road of Montreux with in the night roaring cars and motors. The isolation is of 100 years ago thus bad for a good night sleep. Breakfast is with 20€ overpriced as it offers nothing more than a few croissants and coffee and some cheese and ham.
