We loved our stay there, the staff were extremely friendly and we communicated everything just well in english. The hotel is pretty old but still in good shape so that didn’t bother us. The room was clean and comfortable. If you are worried about the parking situation in the city keep in mind that you can always park in front of the hotel behind the white lines. You can ask the staff at the reception for a blue clock to put in your windshield, you can stay parked there for 3 hours but you can always change the clock and still remain parked there. If you decide to be away for the whole day ask the staff for a whole day parking ticket which will allow you to leave your car there without changing the blue block, it was only 10 CHF for a day. You got free pool access and an amazing view no matter which room you stay in. You can also always get the breakfast in the morning which had a very big variety like gluten free, vegetarian.. One tip I would give you is if you need more neck support maybe take a tiny pillow from home but that’s about it. Overall it was a very pleasant experience.

Amazing place full of history in a calm and beautiful place. Extremely welcoming, I would say it was best welcoming in the world when we arrived. The restaurant was already closed but we were treated with delicious improv dinner in the room. Nice lake view and easy way to have a nice walk up to the mountains as the hotel is situated up the hill almost above the town. All the hotel rooms & public places really elegant, lake & mountain range view from my room was just outstanding. Also enjoyed to follow with eyes a train climbing a hill. Everything is so picturesque here. Definitely would like to come back

Geneva is clean, beautiful and has extremely nice people.

Geneva is clean, beautiful and has extremely nice people. I regularly got lost lol, which gave me a lot of opportunities to talk to random people. I started even getting lost on purpose. The trains and busses are incredible and always on time. I visited this other pub which had like 100 tvs haha, incredible. On my last day, we went to McDonald's, where i had my best ever burger. Then we went to a local bar where we played games, then we closed it with a nightclub. We partied till 4 am haha, and i had to be at the airport by 6 haha...legendary last day. My only regret is that, I didnt have the chance to explore the city more. I fell in love with Geneva, and will definitely be going back in the future

After visiting bigger towns, Montreux was a refreshing quieter cousin. Made the most of the Montreux travel pass. Allowing free bus and train travel as far as Vervey. I would suggest when travelling by train further afield to get help from the ticket office, as this will save you money. The free Queen Studio tour is worth a visit, located in the Casino. Boat trips are a must, we did a circular 2.5 hr one and it was worth paying the small amount extra for the first class. Chateaux Chillon is worth a visit, and only a 40 minute stroll back to the town, along the beautiful shore of lake Geneva.

Evian-les-Bains in June, during what should be peak tourist...

Evian-les-Bains in June, during what should be peak tourist season, felt unexpectedly lifeless. Many stores appeared permanently closed, and the town lacked any real atmosphere after early evening—by 10pm, only the casino restaurant was still serving food. This left few options for late dining or entertainment. Given these circumstances and the general sense of a closed-up town, I would not recommend visiting Evian-les-Bains, especially if you're expecting a lively lakeside resort experience. While some guides and official tourism pages highlight Evian's attractive lakefront, Belle Époque architecture, and potential activities along the lake and nearby outdoors, recent firsthand accounts confirm a lack of vibrancy and operational businesses, even in traditionally busy months. For travelers who prioritize a bustling atmosphere and broad dining options long into the evening, it may be better to look elsewhere.

The village of Chexbres is neatly placed within the vineyards overlooking Lake Leman, with Evian in the distance. A few restaurants and coffee shops serve mainly the locals with English not widely spoken. A Co Op supermarket and convenience store also at hand. The train to Vevey is on hand to give access to main line trains toward Geneva and other destinations such as Montreux. In the summer months the local pool is available with children's pool and sand pit plus lanes for adults, also a on site restaurant/coffee shop.

Really nice location in this nice old town area. Simple and comfortable hotel. No AC but a portable fan was in the room that worked well. Windows opened for cooling. They did smoke in the walkway and that would enter the roof now and again. Front desk employees were very nice and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.
