My wife, our 6 years old kid and myself spent 1 week end in Grand Hotel Excelsior Montreux in May 2012. We were lucky enough to be upgraded to a Junior Suite "Miami Beach" number 715 (43 square meter), located on ground floor. This is definitively the room type I would advise you to take. The Junior Suite has 2... More

Just average today. The word Antique comes to mind when trying to describe this hotel - now there are good antiques and worn antiques - this one is a bit worn - this is especially apparent in the hallways although the lobby is probably the best part of the hotel. The room or my room at least was huge by... More

Maybe it's was the low season, but the hotel looks empty apart from my group and a few other guest. The rooms that we got seems to be newly remodeled and it's fabulous. It's does not scream luxury but decorated in a simple and comfortable furnitures and colors. The rooms meets the 4 star rating that it is given. The... More

I was in Montreux for a wedding at Chateau Chillon and saw many of the hotels of other people on the trip. Although my room at the Grand Hotel Excelsior had two bathrooms and incredible views of the lake, I was very disappointed with the condition of the hotel. Although it appeared to be recently remodeled, I expected more for... More

Nice but shabby hotel. Friendly staff. Well placed. Clean but tired. I waited a while before writing this review to make sure I was calm. For some strange reason they put us in a room with an adjoining door next to a member of staff. Her 6am wake up calls were annoying to say the least. Her cooking at 11pm... More

Room was large with a lovely balcony overlooking the lake. The room I had was a little run down and dated and although very comfortable I would have expected it to be kept in better condition, however, colleagues who stayed in other rooms said their rooms had been renovated recently so did not share this complaint. Staff where helpful and... More

Huge bathroom wiyh double sink, enormous room with a whole wall of closets, moulded plasterwork, mini bar, A/C and free internet (hotel wide). There were 2 easy chairs and a small table plus a desk and a balcony large enough for... More

All rooms have a balcony or terrace and are lake facing. Very quiet which I very much appreciate - yet only a short walk from Montreux centre along a landscaped lakefront path. More

We had a lovely large room on the fourth floor. There was a small terrace with incredible views of the lovely lake. It was a pleasure to be able to see the different colors on the surface of the lake at different times of the day. The hotel is a bit of a walk from the center of town but... More

We stayed there in March for 1 Night and had booked a Miami Beach Junior Suite. The room was just perfect! Really big, very nice furnished, totally new and with a terrace from which you had direct access to the promenade! Big bathroom with a bathtube, two TVs in the room (one in front of the bed and one infronf... More
