A lovely character hotel with a lovely feel about it . A great room . Lovely friendly staff. The breakfast was good and a great location to Lake Geneva and only an 8 minute walk from the main train station. I would definitely recommend this hotel if you want to come to Montreux.
This is a lovely old fashioned room. The bed was super comfortable and I loved the hotel and the staff was wonderful! The location is excellent! The restaurant next door was great too!
Nice hotel close the casino bus stop which we took everywhere. Walma a long walk from the train station but once we learned about the bus we were golden. Great service. And comfortable hotel. Would recommend.
We liked the vintage lift which was unique. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The continental breakfast was nice with a choice of eating inside or outside on the balcony. We'd definitely stay here again and recommend to family and friends.

Convenient location for lakeside, hotel decoration tired, some staff friendly. English tv channels did not work. Continental breakfast was good
Very conveniently located by the main bus line stop. Front desk and breakfast staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is very old, it has its charms and quirks but this may not be for everyone. We had everything we needed.

Grate location, and lake view. Big rooms. Bit on the ‘shabby’ side
Just one night but the service was efficient and the room was as presented on the website. Appreciated the flexibility on check-in, as we arrived early and were permitted to checkin The only thing missing was tea/coffee amenities in the room, but otherwise a good hotel.
The hotel is cute, really old but not run down. Very detail lovingly who loves it a dream. The rooms were very very clean very cute decorated. The bathroom is new and very clean. I was very positive surprised. Thank you again and again

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!
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 hotel! Unique rooms with chandeliers and balconies. Very comfortable bed. Excellent breakfast, perfect location. About a 15 minute walk from the train station. I'd stay here again. We were there during Jazz Fest. Lots of energy in the air.
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.
Absolutely fabulous ! We had a lovely welcome from Constantine at check-in. A beautiful suite to stay in with all amenities and very clean. A super brasserie on the ground floor serving excellent food and drink. Dani, Lucas, Chris and Elisa giving first class service and always smiling
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.

It’s an old property and needs upgrading. The room size was good, AC was a unit in the wall (no central); no tea/coffee in the room and breakfast was mediocre
