Hotel terbaik di Montreux

Great location and comfortable walk from the train station to the hotel, also near the boat jetty and the slope to walk up to the different streets. The room is spacious with a balcony and has a great view of the Lake (room 406). The rooms and corridors are not carpeted, making it noisy and the wooden floor panels creak. The ventilation in the toilet is poor, and puddles of water take a long time to dry up. Bedsheets, comforters (thrown into the wardrobe, not even folded up), bath towels, and hand towels look worn and used. Wardrobe doors cannot be fully opened because of the portable air cooling/dehumidifier (which is actually quite loud). Only bath towels, hand towels, 2in1 shampoo/shower gel, electric kettle, empty cups, coffee, and tea are provided. Not sure if other amenities are available upon request. The check-in process is a little slow with the self-help system (the email links prior to check-in did not work). Check out is quick and easy.

The location of The Freddie Mercury Hotel worked well for us. Despite being nearly attached to the Montreux train station, it was set back from the main road and on a quiet street in the centre. Very easy to walk everywhere in Montreux from the hotel. There is underground car parking (EUR25/night and best to request when reserving a room), but the entrance is a bit tight into the car elevator and large cars / vans would have difficulty maneuvering even in the parking garage. The quad room on the 4th floor was very spacious! A large king sized bed, plus two twins, plus a sitting area with two chairs and a small sofa. All felt very clean and like a modern “boutique” style hotel, though the shower room felt slightly too small for 4 people. (The toilet was in a separate room.) We were told there was “no AC but all the rooms are ventilated”, but it stayed cool enough with the metal electronic metal blinds down during the day so we didn’t need the AC. There’s also a desk area along the window…over looking the train tracks. Even number rooms faces the train track and odd number rooms face the lake. The hotel is a new training facility for the nearby hospitality traininig school. Hence, the more reasonable prices in an area where hotel stays can be quite pricey. Despite the “Freddie Mercury” name, it’s really more just some photo history of Freddie on the walls and not much else. Still, the hotel offers a very good value in terms of its quality and main services. Breakfast (EUR18 per adult, EUR9 per child) each morning was served until 10am. Buffet style, nothing fancy, but there was always a good selection of cold meats, cheeses, salads, cereals, yogurt, breads, croissants and whole fresh fruit. Along with hot options of eggs and hashbrowns, plus coffees, juices, and a water refill pump. We had the pleasure of meetimg Mr Zampetti, the hotel manager, and Swift, the front desk manager. Both were very professional and pleasant in sorting out an issue with one of our rooms. We loved the Montreux experience and would definitely stay at the Freddie Mercury hotel the next time we visit…for its quiet yet convenient location, its value for money, and for the courtesy of its staff.

A fantastic experience from Checkin to Checkout ! Great support at Checkin from Padmila from Mexico & Francois from Switzerland, with both information on the local area and help with our luggage. They could not have done more to support our stay from supplying a Montreux Riviera Card for free transport locally and discounts on attractions to a couple of Euro to Swiss mains adaptors for the room. The room itself was at the top of the hotel and accessible via stairs for part of the way, but the views of the mountains and the lake were superb. Breakfast was of a continental style, but reasonably priced for a Swiss hotel. We also enjoyed eating on one of the nights in the adjoining restaurant which offers good Italian food including some nice dishes such as Arancini for starters and Spaghetti all Vongole (Clams) for a main course. The cocktails were also great here ! Most of Montreux is walkable, although the trolley buses were easy to navigate and included in the card supplied. Would we go back to this hotel if visiting Montreux again, 100% yes we would !

This Hotel is a sort of superior Backpacker hostel with a very good restaurant. Half the rooms have a shared bathroom, half have own bathroom. Our (own bathroom) room was a bit shabby, not renovated. The outstanding feature is the location in small hamlet of chalets 1000m above Montreux with fabulous views onto lake Geneva from the extensive outside terrace. It was very quiet at night (in Autumn) The restaurant is excellent with a cosy chalet ambience and well attended though offers only a restricted menu (mainly fondues). The staff are all young and friendly. Access best by cogwheel train from Montreux which stops outside and a must do is to travel further up by train to Rochers-de Naye at 2000m with breathtaking panoramic views. Visitors are given a free travel card for duration of visit).

This hotel is not worth ONE star! The so called ”breakfast” is cheap food in old buffets and a dark, dirty room. THREE old PIECES of cheese and formed ham, as cheap as animal food, is NOT a breakfast, that is simply FRAUD! NEVER TAKE THIS AS A HOTEL!!! It is a kennel on street level. Without blends in front of the window, with damaged bath-insides and damaged furniture insed. It is a CHIZ to every custumor expecting THREE stars! We had THREE little dogs with us, and they charged 45 CHF for ONE room to clean, which was NOT clean before! (I got enough pics of that situation!) We were charged with 248 CHF for a dirty, hot, MOULDY room, CHEAP bread in the morning, a DIRTY and DUSTY dining facility and an extremely unfriendly ”manager”. NEVER again! Deutsch: Dieses Hotel ist KEINEN Stern wert! Das sog. ”Frühstück” bestand aus BILLIGEM Brot, spärlichem Massen-Aufschnitt, INDUSTRIEGEKOCHTEN EINGEFÄRBTEN Eiern, und ALTEN AUFGEBACKENEN GEBÄCKSTÜCKEN. Jede Jugendherberge ist sauberer und macht ein Bufett, wie angekündigt. Das war KEINE 2 CHF wert! (Fotos vorhanden!!). Das Geschirr, wie die Vorlege-Utensilien waren alt und kaputt, der sog. Speisesaal staubig und muffig, das Brot vom BILLIGSTEN WAS MAN SICH VORSTELLEN KANN! Wir haben für 3 Hunde für eine ANGEBLICHE Reinigung von EINEM Zimmer 45 CHF bezahlt!!! Für DREI Stücke ALTEN KÄSE, FABRIKWURST, BILLIGTOAST, aufgewärmte, zusammengesammelte Backstücke und eine UNTERIRDISCHE Atmosphäre dort 52 CHF!!! Für das Zimmer mit VERSCHIMMELTEM BAD, SCHRANK, ohne richtige Beleuchtung sowie KEINE Gardinen- EBENERDIG ZUR STRASSE!!! 160 CHF!!! DAS IST EINE DER MIESESTEN ABZOCKEN UND ABSTEIGEN, DIE ICH JE ERLEBTE!!!!!

We picked this Hotel because of its position on the edge of the Lake. We had a Lake view room with a balcony overlooking the terraced gardens to the lake. The room was large enough and very comfortable. Take earplugs as the frogs make a racket early in the Morning and the Evening. The rooms at the rear, which is the front overlook the railway. Everything was excellent, the staff are so pleasant and very helpful. We had half board in the main restaurant on the terrace, a beautiful position. Although there was no choice to have we enjoyed all our meals. If you have preferences or intolerances I’m sure if you told the Hotel in advance they would do their best to accommodate you. The position of the hotel is on the promenade into central Montreal. It’s a lovely walk with many flowers and metal sculptures. The promenade also reaches the Castle (definitely worth a visit) in the opposite direction.

This hotel is unique for its charm and service; it has its own personality because of the personnel and the owner. The location is special for the view, breakfast is perfrect and the rooms are graced with Montreux Jazz artists. One feels the magic of the Waadtland :-) Bravo for the excellent service, attention, and experience. This will be my place in Montreux!

Nice place to stay! Everybody at the hotel was very kind. Rooms very clean and tidy, with everything you need during your stay. Breakfast was simple but with everything you expect to find in any hotel (delicious croissants) Don’t forget to ask for your free bus ticket during your stay!
