We spent one night here and had a very comfortable stay. We arrived by car and were lucky to get the last parking spot (the hotel only provides a few). There is public parking available, but you need to change your parking disc every 3 hours (except Sundays, when it's free public parking). Our room was on the 4th floor... More

Lovely old hotel, with very high ceilings. Very comfortable with balcony and lake views. I would definitely recommend and stay again. The views and gardens are spectacular. Great heated pool and very helpful staff.

What a great surprise to stay here. Previous reviews were mixed. We had a great room, crisp and clean with great bed. The bathroom of mirrors was interesting. We had a balcony which look directly over Lake Geneva with only a walkway in front of the hotel. It is a bit of a walk from the train station, but not... More

I was rebooked at this hotel when my original room at the Hotel Eden Palace could not be provided. The Excelsior is a little further away than most hotels but was worth the extra walk. The Lake View rooms have amazing views. The hotel has an 18th century flair with high ceilings and ornate architecture. The bathroom was spacious and... More

We spent two nightspot my wife and two young kids during this Xmas The Hotel is very well located just at the lake, very close to Xmas market and main turistic places. Rooms are very clean and from what I observed it seems all the room has view to the lake, rooms very comfortable with Internet Wi-Fi. If you travel... More

We booked a Superior Lake View room but were allocated a room below street level with no view other than shoreline trees. The room was directly below the bar/retaurant and we were woken at 5/6.00 every morning by staff (who sounded like marching elephants) wheeling bins/trolleys around. We shared a balcony with 2 other rooms (divided by privicy screens running... More

Clean, comfortable and wonderful view over Lake Geneva and Chateux Chillon. Quiet, about 10 minutes walk along lake from town centre. Our room had been refurbished and was of a good modern standard in a Victorian original building that gives it character.

I booked this hotel after being advised that my year in and out favorite the five star Montreux Palce was fully booked due to the Jazz festival. This is a lovely old hotel, here and there somewhat worn and frayed, but nevertheless quite nice. It is something of a walk to the town center but not too inconvenient. The breakfast... More

We traveled to Montreux on a whim to see what it was like and discovered this lovely hotel on the lake. Beautiful views but we were shocked that during July there was NO AC. They had a little wall unit that tried but wasn't great. The hotel was nice and clean. We didn't have breakfast because it was 23 Euros... More

The main impression from a 2 nights stay at this hotel is like a timetravel back in the 50's, period when the hotel seems to have its last refresher. The room was spacious and with a beautiful view on the lake (just like most of the hotels around I guess), but everything looked dated from the 50's, except maybe for... More
