Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers everything you need, but the outdoor seating space was a bit meh. It's a great find for The Montreux Jazz Festival.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with spacious, comfortable rooms and a beautiful decor. The huge and extra comfortable bed on the first floor added to the charm of the room. However, the service was a bit unhelpful initially, but they agreed to upgrade my view to lakeside, which improved the experience. The location was fantastic, accessible by a sweet little train with stunning scenic views. Dining was decent considering the circumstances during the crisis, but I wished for more variety given the price. Overall, a great place with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was simply wonderful. The rooms were cozy, comfortable, and clean, with a breathtaking view of the lake and mountains. The decor was beautiful and the rooms were spacious, making my stay very enjoyable. The service was amazing, with the staff being very kind and friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The location was stunning, overlooking Lake Geneva and close to the train station. However, the dining experience was a bit pricey for my budget, but the staff went above and beyond to accommodate me with snacks even after the kitchen was closed. Overall, a great value for money experience.
