I chose this Edwardian hotel for the view potential and I wasn't disappointed. It is right on the lake and a 10 minute walk to the centre and restaurants along the lovely Fleurie walk or a 25 minute walk to the Chateux du Chillon which is spectacular inside. You would need a taxi from the train station. We were able... More

I have read several reviews of this beautiful Hotel before and after staying in this hotel. A discerning point is NO ONE has commented on the staff who run the hotel. Plain ignorance or indifference ? The day we checked in at noon, we were curtly told to wait as the 'room was NOT ready' I feel Europeans can learn... More

This was a grand old hotel right on the waterfront of Lake Geneva.It was an easy walk from the centre about 20 minutes along a flower filled promenade one way and the Chateux de Chillon the other.You need to ask when you check in for a Montreux Card and that will enable you to have free transport on the trams...

The location is nice but the hotel is old and need more refurbishments, especially when you look the building since the street. Nice view and polite people on the reception, but rooms are too old fashioned and much more maintenance is needed. Not acceptable price value.

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
