Our room had a fabulous view and a small balcony with a great view as well. Breakfast was great. We also loved sitting on the hotel sundeck to enjoy the sunny day and sunset. Breakfast was lovely. Location was terrific - we enjoyed a walk on the promenade and my husband also borrowed a bike.

The balcony was a highlight. The building has nice character but is very tired. Beds were so comfortable, but they were really let down by the terrible, lumpy, pillows. Hotel is very clean and the elevators were surprisingly fast.

Almost everything:
The view is crazy.
The staff is very nice.
Breakfast is very good.
What I liked the most - there are many small (or not small) extra things that you don't expect, but they improve your experience - for example, there are 2 sinks in the bathroom, they put extra towels (we had 7 for a couple, etc.)

The management and staff treated us beautifully. We were given passes for local transport which made this hotel way up in Vieux Ville easily accessible since bus 206 stops right across the street. That same pass gave us discounts on Chillon Castle and the lake ferry. We had a lovely stay with them.

Freddie Mercury also fell in love with Montreux and a lakefront statue in Place du Marché commemorates this former resident in typical pose, with one arm raised to the heavens.

Montreux is situated in an area surrounded by mountains...
Montreux is situated in an area surrounded by mountains which were snow capped when we were there and the lake views are beautiful. Chillon Castle and the Freddy Mercury Statue are worth a visit but make sure you allow enough time for the Castle visit as there is so much to see. Walking around Montreux is easy, there is a good bus service and the train station is right in town upper level. Plenty of good restaurants to eat at and they are open till late evening.

Stunning location.
Stunning location. Lots of walking paths along lakeside with ‘view seats’ scattered along the routes. Various methods of getting up the mountains (rack railways etc) and excellent buses running everywhere (free with a pass from my hotel). Boat trips around Lake Geneva with opportunities to disembark to look round other lakeside villages.

I went to Montreux specifically for the Freddie Mercury...
I went to Montreux specifically for the Freddie Mercury celebration days but quickly fell in love with it. The entire area is stunning and everything feels so relaxed.
I had heard it was a bit expensive but I found it pretty equal to any other capital I have visited although beer is expensive in bars - around 9.90 CHF for a pint on average.
Eating out was comparable to most places I have visited and there are some fabulous eateries.
It is a very easy city to get around on foot although there are also excellent public transport links.
The public transport from Montreux is excellent meaning you can also explore surrounding areas. I travelled into Vevey one day - 40 minutes on the bus - to visit Chaplin's World, a museum dedicated to Charlie Chaplin. It is extremely easy to spend a day in these areas thanks to the excellent transport links. (I also would thoroughly recommend Chaplin's World.
With such stunning scenery and such a chilled way of life it is easy to see why people fall in love with Montreux and never leave.

Well worth a visit and plenty to do in a stay of a week.
Well worth a visit and plenty to do in a stay of a week. On the other hand, we preferred Vevey which seems more spacious and less touristy - more people were going about everyday jobs there. The lake cruise is wonderful (we included the lunch on board), and the mountain railways are efficient, if rather crowded at times - best to go early if possible. The lakeside walk to Chateau Chillon is wonderful too - again, best to go early morning.

This was a stop in a longer trip to Switzerland.
This was a stop in a longer trip to Switzerland. We were there as they were getting ready for the Jazz fest so there was alot of construction. We loved the Lavaux vineyard area and enjoyed the steam boat tour of the lake, and Chillion Castle as well. However if pressed for time on your first visit to Switzerland this is the area I would skip, but that is my personal preference.
The hotel is located in the centre of Montreux in the first line of the slake coast. Room was in good standard and clean, but form the street side so it was relatively noisy. Restaurant and breakfast with plenty of choice. In front of the hotel, places to sit, relax. The reception helpful, as part of the stay you get a free ticket to travel with the public transport and some discounts for local attractions.
The location (to the train station and the lake) are amazing - you are half a block if that from each. Great for the Xmas markets! The apartment is grand and has many beautiful features with wonderful linens and pillows and all the comforts of a 5 star hotel. I loved the views directly onto the lake.
The Room was clean and normal size. There was an elevator in the hotel. Friendly staff. The location is very close to the lake of Montreux which is absolutely Gorgeous. There was a fan in the room, kettle, small water bottle, towels and shampoo.
We were upgraded to the 5 star Royal Plaza, in a small room, fine, we did like it.
Exceptional breakfast (we didn't book it because the price 35 - but at reception desk was 20)
Very nice hotel, directly on the beach.
We went to Montreux to visit the Christmas market and in this regard the location was perfect. The view of the lake is amazing. The hotel organized a separate small bed for our 4-year-old kid for free.
