Hotel Beach di Vaud, Switzerland

Due to the recent name change which we weren’t aware of, we walked past the hotel without realizing it as the signage was so tiny! There’s ongoing Reno @ Lobby - which wasn’t a big deal. We received a warm welcome from the staff esp the gentleman (sorry, missed out the name) who was apologetic about the non-communication wrt name change etc. He proceeded to upgrade us and it was an excellent treat! The hotel’s location is absolutely fabulous- right on promenade, next to the lake. Beautiful awesome (day & night) view from our window. The bathroom, which seemed to have been recently renovated, is nice and clean but is a bit tiny. In room speaker was great! Complimentary drinks fm mini fridge. Breakfast buffet has good selection , even with a customized / on request egg station. A very lovely pleasant stay !

Had a lovely room balcony overlooking the lake. Juliana was a great help getting us checked in we so appreciate it!! Montreux is just an amazing place! The hotel needs a bit of sprucing up however it’s in a perfect location, it still wears its historic grandeur well!

We had a quadruple room. There were 2 beds in one room with a sink in the room, and 2 beds pushed together in the other room with a sink and shower/tub in that room. Fixtures were old and shower was hard to use for someone tall. The only toilet was in the hall and did not have its own sink. We also had family in a nearby double room and they had a modern bathroom. The location is good. There is a bus stop right outside that will take you to Chillon Castle or the train station. We were given free transport cards. There is a French bakery just outside the hotel and it was an easy walk to Montreux Noel. We did not have the hotel's breakfast. There is a restaurant and bar on site. The best part was the view. We had a small balcony with a table and 2 chairs with a view of the lake and the mountains that was wonderful to wake up to.

酒店位置非常近火車站，1分鐘路程，出遊非常方便。尤其是想乘搭黃金列車觀光，酒店內外份外亮麗，房間設施一流，用品都是優質品牌，吃早餐餐廳的風景非常怡人，早餐選擇豐富好味。電視螢幕有歡迎入住人姓名的字句，令人鼓舞！酒店職員，由前台至行李服務生，餐廳職員，全部皆是服務一流，值得一讚，簡直完美perfect！下次必定再入住這間美麗舒適的酒店！

definitely not a real 5 stars hotel. Horrible Wifi, cannot go to my conference call at all during my stay, basically impossible to use the internet during our stay.

Sejujurnya saya tidak tahu bagaimana untuk menulis ulasan ini kerana saya telah menempah Villa Toscane dan diberitahu untuk menginap di hotel bertentangan (Royal Plaza) kerana Villa Toscane ditutup semasa musim cuti (iaitu hanya dibuka pada musim panas lolll). Tapi kira naik taraf sebab Royal Plaza ni hotel 5 bintang haha

It’s a 2 min walk from the IMD campus. So a perfect choice for the schools visitors. An efficient and convenient business hotel, with all you’ll need. One downside is the more expensive premium rooms (renovated) are facing the back , and the older rooms have the lake view. A nice Gym as well and a good spread at breakfast. Although would be nice if they’d add an egg station or change the menu a bit. For IMD students who stay for many days it becomes a bit boring to have the same scrambled eggs every day 😊

Hi I just wanted to express some concerns. We are currently staying in the hotel. Unfortunately we had more than one terrible experience with the food and beverage department. First this morning with the room service order. We order the night before for one person continental adding a omelette to the order and we got charged for 2 full continental and the order were missing items like the milk for the corn flakes. We never complain so we let it pass. But after an amazing day in town we came back to see the sunset in the outside area first the restaurant host sent me to the bar area. Then the bar server/ attendant told me that they were not serving anymore in the patio because it was going to rain. I understand and I ask if I could order inside and pay and then drink it outside. I got another NO this time in a super rude manner. I ask were is the door to go to the patio I just wanted to see the sunset. 2 hours later and not even a drop of water I decided to write this. Is very sad that this happens in a place like this. The rooms are not cheap or anything really we expected at least a little bit of more decency from the team members. Honestly the only department in the hotel that was nice was front desk. Still our tray from this morning still out at 2:38 am right now. We understand when a place is understaffed or may have other issues but the guest doesn’t have to pay for the issues in house or worst having to deal with extra rude employees because they don’t know the difference between service and hospitality. Not that we got any service either. We are traveling trough europe on our honeymoon and this is definitely very sad and disappointing.

Je cherchais un hébergement pour 2 nuits pour un stage ayant lieu à 30min. Réservation faite via le site. Le personnel de réception a été super ! J'ai pu modifier ma réservation sur place en passant du dortoir 4 places à une chambre individuelle en complétant par CB sur place. Parking très pratique. Dîner et petit-déjeuner sur place avec un choix correct pour une auberge de jeunesse.

Location of this hotel just by the small and usually quiet coastal road is ideal and there are great views across the lake with the chance - depending on the weather - to see Mont Blanc, Europe's highest mountain. The building itself goes back to the mid-19th century and although updated to modern standards, there is still some nostalgic touch. Check-in was easy and friendly and the superior room, which we had booked, was on the top, the 5th floor with the elevator only going up to the 4th floor, so we had to walk up on a staircase for the last stretch. There are only 4 rooms on that floor. Our room was cosy, not too big, and with windows on two sides, one offering great views towards the lake. A bit odd were the colours in the room: flowery window curtains and pillows, but armchairs in an aggressive blue, which did not match. There was wall to wall carpenting, but due to the slanted walls no pictures could be hung up. In the room was a mini-bar, but no tea or coffee making facilities. It had a small writing desk, but in general not enough plugs. The double bed was good and it was very quiet at night. The bathroom was fine. Breakfast was in the restaurant 'Le Pavois' on the ground floor. They also have a more elegant restaurant on the first floor, which was closed during our stay, and opposite the hotel entrance is the restaurant 'Le Jardin' on a covered terrace, mainly meant for lunch. Breakfast was a buffet with a good choice of items. Morges itself is a pleasant and attractive little town, with the center being very close from the hotel, also interesting excursions can be done from here, either in the direction of Lausanne or towards the wine-growing area of La Côte.

A very disppointing experience from start to finish. We spent 3 days wishing we had chosen a different hotel but unable to leave as we had pre-paid a package to celebrate my wife’s birthday. It started badly as we arrived on a very hot day (34°) to be allocated a stifling hot room in which all the lights had been left on and the sun shade not drawn. Reception advised that the room had a fan (in the absence of air conditioning) but there was none to be found! A small desk fan was brought up to the room later in the afternoon. Our room remained hotter inside than outside for the entire stay. Dinner that evening was not a pleasant experience. The staff were dour, the menu wasn’t explained and the courses were just plonked on our table and then taken away in total silence. The soup (fennel) had no taste, as though it was a mixture of flour and water, and was luke warm. The ambience was terrible due to discotheque-type music (rap, etc) being played so loudly that I couldn’t hear myself thinking, let alone have normal converstaion with my wife. After 30 minutes, I got up from the table and asked the maitre d’ to turn down the volume. One might expect that a classy restaurant would have the gumption to play subtle background music. Breakfast the next morning was poor. The staff similarly failed to offer any sort of greeting or hospitality. I found the coffee to be undrinkable (over-stewed, not fresh) while the scrambled eggs looked and tasted as though they’d been resuscitated from the night before. We attempted to complain to the Manager but were told by Reception that he was unavailable that day. Although I detailed the several issues, no apology was forthcoming neither did anyone (i.e. the errant Manager) seek to make any amends during the remainder of our stay. I was informed by Reception that most of the current staff were “in training”, a lame excuse as the Management should ensure a proper mix with some professional staff available to maintain quality. Perhaps, its just an unhappy place to work. As regards the Restaurant, we voted with our feet and dined elsewhere for the next 2 days - Montreux has many excellent Restaurants. In its heyday, this would have been a fine hotel particularly given its superb location and beautiful gardens. Now, it doesn’t merit its 4 star category nor the prices charged. Our room was dismal, the ventilator in the bathroom was non-functioning with subsequent mould and bad smell, an already bloodstained bath towel was not replaced after 3 days, the external balcony sun-shade was in tatters and stained. Warrants a 2 star category.

Très médiocre!! Cher, et vraiment on dirait un 2 étoile en France, rien à voir avec la photo de la chambre sur Booking et ici sur TA. Pas climatiseur, mais un ventilateur au plafond et le store est cassé. La douche a un rideau en plastique et de la moisissure sur les joints. Montreux est très chère mais je ne m'attendais pas à des chambres aussi médiocre. Heureusement qu'il n'y a pas de moquette au sol, mais malheureusement les sols sont sales car on a les pieds noirs quand on marche pieds nus dans la chambres.

Perkhidmatan dan kemudahannya hebat. Seluruh keluarga sangat menyukainya. Lain kali saya melawat Lausanne, saya akan memilih hotel ini. Tempat letak kenderaan adalah percuma. Sarapan pagi tidak begitu pelbagai tetapi cukup.

This is a wonderful hotel in Lausanne near the water with a great restaurant attached. It is an older hotel but the rooms have been refreshed. For a European Hotel the rooms were a nice size. The outdoor pool was very comfortable. The included breakfast at the attached hotel was very generous and had a large selection. The only issue was check in. The front staff did not care to call us when our room was done as promised and seemed not very helpful.

We had a very pleasant stay at Chateau d'Ouchy. Beautiful lake and mountain views from bedroom and shower. Separate shower and toilet was a pleasant surprise!! Very clean, staff was very friendly and helpful. Conveniently located by public transportation areas, boat and train stations. Amazing food at the restaurant and delicious drinks at the bar. Beautiful atmosphere, design and architecture! Very pleasant! Would definitely go back and recommend to friends and family!
