Helpful front desk staff, but room smelt bad on entry, had to open windows to remove this. Windows had to be shut when time to sleep as constant very loud train noise, this continued even with the windows shut. Bad night sleep as a result. Good location for Christmas market etc but take into account the train noise when booking.

Room smelt off, paid a lot of money but didn’t get value for money. Felt like a budget hotel, no iron in the room, safe was broken, phone line wasn’t working. Extremely hot in the room with no A/C. We arrived early, the suitcase storage room was full so staff said we need to leave suitcases in reception, bearing in mind students were walking in and out constantly it didn’t feel safe to do so, so had to carry our bags everywhere with us until check in opened. No EU/USB charging sockets. Felt very daited

The Freddie Mercury Hotel is a convenient stop in Montreux, almost adjacent to the train station. The staff are quite hospitable, and this building also houses (literally) a Hospitality School. …which is why some things were surprising. Poorly designed room with no/few outlets, weird room layout, no reading lamps, limited toiletries, no area rugs, difficult hotel layout and a very average breakfast made for a less than easy stay. We were in the “best” suite with a view of the lake and mountains and a nice balcony…but little else. The hospitality school could do a study project on this suite as far as layout and conveniences for their guests! But lots of great Freddie Mercury memorabilia and within walking distance to most everything. Montreux is a delightful city otherwise!

Very convenient location with just a few minutes walking to the train station via the platform #1. While the rail road is next to the hotel it is surprisingly very quiet inside. Breakfast was somewhat disappointed, tasteless. It was nice that the hotel offered the city pass, that was very convenient for using a public transportation completely free! We would stay there again.

The property only serves breakfast which I think is poor. However, worse still is the fact that the hotel does not have a bar!

This hotel is very convenient. You exit tge train and walk to the hotel on platform one. Our room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the view of the lake and city from the terrace and were the only ones there.!! Breakfast is not included and cost Fr.18 ($22) We chose to walk to the Migro supermarket about 8 minutes down near the lake to get our yogurt and fruit instead. The staff were very friendly and helpful from the minute of our arrival.

Not noted in the hotel description, but the front door literally opens onto platform 1 of the tain station. For those travelling by train this is a major bonus as Montreux is an extremely hilly city. Our room was on the top floor offering a great view off a large patio of Lake Geneva. Very comfy beds. Friendly and helpful staff. Easy walking distance to the waterfront for stores and restaraunts.
