Montreux Hostels

We had a wonderful experience at the Grand Hotel Suisse Majestic. It is across the street from the train station. The check in was flawless and we were able to check in early. We had a room with a balcony which overlooked Lake Geneva. We asked several of the staff for assistance on places to go and directions and they were knowledgeable and helpful to us. They never made us feel rushed as we attempted to convey where we were trying to go. The beds were so comfortable and the room was spacious. The bar and restaurant were busy but we did not eat there as it was a bit pricy. We had breakfast at Fleur des Pains next door which had a wonderful selection of pastry. We would definitely stay here again.

The services of this hotel are not 4-star. Inexperienced and incompetent staff, customer interaction is completely to be reviewed. Little clarity regarding parking availability, bungling staff in general, with communication problems. When we returned to the hotel at 6:30 p.m., 2 of the 4 rooms in our group had still not been redone--and since the cleaning staff had already finished for the day, we had to keep the rooms that way. Unacceptable in a 4-star hotel. Shortly before midnight, upon our return after dinner we are told that 1 of the 4 keys was not left at the front desk when we left for dinner--we are sure we did leave the key, the key fob is really heavy and no one would keep it in their pocket rather than deposit it at the front desk. After much discussion, we are finally given the spare key with the recommendation not to lose it and with the notice that the lost key will be billed to us. Well, in the morning the key is in its slot, we find out that it was a mistake by the staff who had placed it elsewhere by mistake.... No comment. All this is why I think this hotel does not live up to its 4 stars, despite the fact that the building is wonderful and well renovated and its location superb. We did appreciate the refund of 75.- for each room to make up for the inconveniences. Still, mistakes are understandable, what is not understandable nor excusable is the way we were addressed by the staff (when it was not even our mistake!).

A beautiful hotel on the banks of Lake Geneva, very close to Montreux train station. The lake promenade is just opposite to the hotel and makes for a lovely evening walk. The staff were one of the friendliest and most courteous that we encountered on our travels through Europe. The lovely breakfast was a super start to the day and had everything that one could ask for, including eggs made to order. A couple of supermarkets are there too nearby - Coop and Migros in case one wanted anything. It proved to be an excellent base for us to tour the Lavaux vineyard region. Overall a wonderful stay - strongly recommend.

Love love love the view at Lake Geneva! Restaurant needed booking ahead of time, but food was decently good albeit abit pricey. Very accessible via bus, or you could take a stroll down lake Geneva. Affordable room prices with an awesome view. Sauna and jacuzzi were good and restful. No regrets!

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 !

The transportation is very convenient. You can take the bus from the train station to the hotel in one stop. Thank you very much for upgrading us to the five-star hotel where we checked in. The lady at the front desk was very friendly and enthusiastic. The room we stayed in was spacious and bright. Except for the lack of toothbrush and toothpaste, there were slippers and other toiletries, and the toiletries were high-end. There was a small incident because although two people applied for it when making a reservation, only one person's name was reserved, so we were only given a travel pass. When visiting the ancient city of Chiyong, we need another transportation card to get a 50% discount. , fortunately, I got the number of another transportation card through phone communication. Hope this is noticed when checking others in. Overall, a very satisfying stay experience

We went to Montreux Xmass Mess for a long weekend. The hotel is a 10 minits walk from Christmas mess. The Romm was godd, quite. The personal were kind, and helpfull. The bar was'nt open, when I wanted a coffe, the Receptionist was so kind and made for me. The breakfast was delicious.

pros: location was good, located in the city centre just outside the bus stop. very convenient. the room was very big and spacious as well. however, we wanted to check in earlier but they didn’t allow so we could only leave our luggages there in the storage room. service was relatively okay. cons: the room was clean but it was disgusting as there were so many spiders in the room and we didnt realise it until the next day where the spider was crawling all over the pillow…. room didnt have much ventilation even though the window is open so it can get abit stuffy

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!!!!!
