First our room ...it was a lovely suite, with awesome balcony, floor to ceiling window views overlooking the LAKE and alpine mountains beyond. Simply breathtaking. I could easily have lived there ( no seriously) for a month ( if finances allowed) ! Very reminiscent of The Gilded Age, this hotel property has been updated but maintains its old world charm & elegance. If I didn't have a desire to see all the beauty surrounding me in Montreux, I may have Just lounge Md around in our room & enjoy the hotels many offerings! My husband's favorite part was the brunch/ Breakfast..served in a Conservatory (glass enclosed) space with views overlooking the lake & mountain vistas! Lots of fresh offerings enough to satisfy even the pickiest eater. The LOCATION, also a big part of our ease of stay. Very short walk from the rail ( train) which runs like a reliable SWISS clockwork! Clean, and timely rail cars make using the trains in Switzerland a real asset to a traveler eager to see many sights! Overall I loved this hotel, and Montreux. Switzerland has my heart! Hope to return in the near future. Possibly to their famous JAZZ FESTIVAL!

Yelp Review 2026 #153:…read more Probably my favorite hotel stay while in Switzerland. The location is super convenient. It's right across the street from the train station. There are bus stops a few feet away depending on where you're going and which bus you're taking. There are lots of restaurants and cafes in this area. The hotel is beautiful outside and inside. I'm also about smells - this hotel smells fresh and clean. We left our backpacks here when we arrived in the morning and did the preliminary check-in process so that when we came back to check-in in the afternoon, all we had to to do was grab our room key and our backpacks. The lobby is quite nice. There's a beautiful restaurant with a nice view of the lake. There's a nice gym on the top floor. You can workout with a view of the lake. There's a spa area. However, it's uncomfortably hot in the gym. The room was beautiful. It was spacious and we had a balcony with a table and chairs so you can enjoy the view while eating breakfast or a snack. The fridge has bottles of water, soda and juice. There are also bottles of water on the nightstand. The bathroom is quite small. L'occitane toiletries. You get robes and slippers. Plenty of TV channels from all around the world. As long as I get British channels, I'm all set. And American shows dubbed in a different language is always funny to me. The bed was comfortable with lots of pillows. It was very quiet. Overall, I enjoyed my stay at this hotel.

I have been traveling thousands and thousands of miles for 24 hours including an hour and a half train ride to get here and I'm sitting in the lobby falling asleep because my room is not ready and it's almost 3 o'clock in the afternoon. European hotels always know you're arriving early in the day and I've even checked in at some hotels around 11 to 12. . I'm titanium. I stayed over 100 nights last year at Marriott and I'm just not going to do that this year because they just don't have the service that they should have for someone that stays that many nights. The desk is very busy now checking people in and I'm pretty sure I'm sitting here forgotten not to mention that my room rate included breakfast and I appreciate the upgrade. They gave an upgrade to me based on my status, but when they did that, they dropped off my breakfast that was included with my room. I don't eat much for breakfast anyway, so it is what it is. I'm not gonna argue with them since they seem to think I'm making it up. I've been coming here because I came here with my husband who died recently, and I've been coming here in his memory to Switzerland once a year and I've been coming to the hotels that he and I stayed at, but I think perhaps it's time to make new memories and find new places to stay.. I definitely think it's not suitable for the price.

They upgraded my family to a junior suite with a huge balcony overlooking the lake, that was pretty cool. Suite also had a large bed and big sofa bed, nespresso machine, minifridge. Bathroom was pretty big as well, with a nice bathtube for the kids. Kids loved the large pool and jacuzzi. The spa area had a wet sauna and gym too. Also if you are traveling with kids, they have a bunch of board games at the lobby, and there was a playground in a park right next to the hotel. Easy access to the promenade where you could take a walk around the lake. Bus stop right in front of it, plenty of buses to take you around the city. Also withing walking distance, a migros. Overall, cant complain, really liked this hotel and would stay here again.

Once we got off the elevator, it was a different experience. I felt like we were in the 90's. The carpeting in the hallway was faded and dated. Once we got to the room, more carpeting, faded and dated. Thankful I remembered my slippers. I will say, the sheets were crisp and clean. Our adult children were staying in a different room. The next morning our son showed us a video he had taken of 2 sizable insects in his room. Needless to say, their room was changed and apologies were given left and right from the front desk. This hotel needs a full makeover. For the price they charge, you'd expect a modern room with modern clean furniture--free from insects!! We were there 2 nights. The 2 stars were given to the front desk clerk named Vincent. He recommended a great Italian restaurant in the area and we enjoyed it thoroughly. We will not return to this hotel. That's unfortunate because it is in a great location.

I booked thru a third party site and they gave me a street side room with a mobile air conditioning until. It spewed more heat than the room was in the first place. They also had the hose improperly and dangerously semi shut between two windows. After discussing this with the front desk at 1 am, I was moved lake side to a beautiful room with a built in AC. The hotel should be honest and say if your room is air conditioned. If your traveling from Overseas call can confirm first. I was lucky they had an extra room. The restaurant is excellent and staff amazing. This negative review fails on management or ownership. Not sure of Swiss building code...this would not muster and the rugged hose would be a big fine in the US.

Looking out to rolling hills, cows, deer, biplanes, and the storybook-like views you can only find in Switzerland is incredible. And the bed was comfortable. You cannot beat the location. Nestled at the entrance to the medieval city, staying here allows you to both easily walk anywhere in the city and park your car in their lot right by your rooms. No lugging your briefcase over cobblestones to get to your hotel in the medieval city, and no driving to get to the medieval city. And you aren't sacrificing any beautiful architecture staying here - it's a great building. The restaurant is so good! We had a lot of fun with the raclette, and the ice cream and meringue dessert was huge but super fun. If I ever came back to Gruyeres, I would definitely stay here again. We had a great time!

Note that all menus in Gruyeres are extremely identical so good customer service is a great way to set them apart. During our three visits we tried a variety of wines, Cafe Vienna, the beef broth soup, fondue, raclette, meringue and double cream, liqueur soaked cherries with ice cream and double cream and the salad. One dish that set this eatery apart was their version of the Brazilian pan de queso with gruyere stuffed in the center (perfection!). You'll notice that this restaurant takes over two buildings across the street from one another with patio seating as well as indoor (two levels). We really appreciated that they allowed us to share the one serving size of both the fondue and raclette (ordering two portions is not only too much food but pricey as well).

Rooms are clean and look pretty modern 2. Right outside the lake. We opted for a lake view over the garden view, and it was only $10 more. It was definitely $10 well spent because there are these door/huge windows that open up and you can look out 3. Shower is pretty big, considering the size of the bathroom 4. 10-minute walk to the train station 5. 2-minute walk to the Freddie Mercury statue 6. Chillon Castle is a 10-minute bus ride away, and you get a free bus pass when you stay at hotels in Montreux 7. Plenty of restaurants nearby The Cons: 1. Bathroom overall is small 2. Air conditioning is loud 3. I accidentally went to the wrong room, and my key card worked. Who knows how many people had access to our room Tip - not sure what happens if you need to check in past 10 pm because after that point, you need a code to get through the front gate, and no one is manning the reception desk.

Located right across the lake, the view is very nice (if you get the right room). There's nothing 'wrong' with this hotel, it's very modern and clean, but what it lacked for me was charm and personality. Some of the rooms are also quite dark and small. What really bothered me were the bathroom sinks... they have some sort of a system that only allows a tiny amount of water to come through, and every time you turned it on, it took a minute or even longer for the water to get warm. All in all a good hotel for a short stay, but it wouldn't be a place I would spend a week at. I prefer the Hotel Helvétie a little further down the street.

There were stains and tears on the chairs and sofa and scuffs and damage to the walls and trim. The bathroom tile and fixtures were also very dated. Our outside patio and window were covered in cobwebs and spiders. This hotel desperately needs to be remodeled and updated. Our room had air conditioning, which was a surprise, but as it would so happen, the air conditioning didn't work. We ran it all night and our room never cooled down. It was too warm outside to open the patio door and let some fresh air in, so unfortunately we didn't sleep very well in the stuffy room. The one plus, our room had a terrific view of Lake Geneva and the surrounding town and was within walking distance of many shops and restaurants. It was very pleasant to walk along the lake and we enjoyed seeing the sunset. Would not stay at the Hotel Eurotel Riviera again and would not recommend.
