The staff was very professional. We were greeted by Jerôme at the reception, and he was very nice; very helpful. We were impressed by the hotel. And the VIEW over Lake Geneva is unreal.

Nice location. Parking handy and a kettle in the room. Good views of the lake from the terrace.
However, no bar or restaurant open in the evening, so had to walk into town. It’s very hilly which may affect some.

Disappointing. No dinner, no bar.
Amazing view over lake and vineyards. Room ok. Breakfast ok but many items not replaced when finished. Main problem was arriving on a Saturday and there was a wedding so dining room and bar closed. Only option-take an expensive taxi down to Vevey for dinner. I do not recommend this hotel unless you have a car.

Room was clean, bed was very hard. The room we stayed in was near the elevator (407) and you could hear it all night pinging when arriving on the floor.
The corridor had a lot of echo which transferred into the room.
Luckily these noises subsided later in the evening.
Towels had stains, which made them off colour.
The views from the balcony were stunning!

Incredible view
There's no AC and the ventilation pehaps not the best, so the room was a bit stuffy when I checked in. But I had the room with the full view of the lake so I opened the door and after it aired out, it was completely fine. It's the view that makes this hotel worth the stay, everything else is a bit substandard.

A solid hotel in a beautiful location. View of the lake and mountains. Many balconies. Beautiful area in a sleepy village. The place is extremely clean, but a little age is showing and low cost improvements. I am sure this is out of season and hotel is in a maintenance mode so the restaurant was closed.

Upgrade to a lake view room and the view was great. Easy to parking and breakfast was great ( with $17 surcharge). Shower space is a little tight.
