“Good choice in Vevey!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 May 2010

people found this review helpful

The staff were lovely and very welcoming and helpful. Rooms were clean, comfortable. No noise from the rail whatsoever. Breakfast was included in the price and good to get an energetic day started. The hotel is of good quality-price. I don't understand people complaining about how it can be better when they are paying a portion the price they would in another one: you get what you pay for, if you want a fancy hotel then book as appropriate but don't complain about cheaper hotels not being of Four seasons standards!!

“city view?”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2009

Unfortunatly due to the jazz festival in Monteraux and the very expensive prices of other Vevey hotels at the time I stayed at the Famile hotel.

Again rooms where hot and noisy due to the location right next to the train stations, I can gurantee swiss trains run all night. Hotel is tired and also not very inviting. I will always avoid staying here if possible on any future stays.

“Not very expensive”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 August 2008

people found this review helpful

Very close to the station (you'll hear trains through the night if your room faces the tracks, and you'll have to keep your windows open during the night in summer, because there is no air-condition - keep your earplugs handy), and a short walk to the lake, with some view of the Lavaux vineyards. The room was basic, but spatious. The hotel could stand a major renovation, but still serves. Breakfast is also rather basic compared to Swiss standards. The staff a reception was friendly, the staff at the breakfast room rather gruff.

“Loved the location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2008

Hotel room and sheets were clean. Breakfast was basic. The only fault I had with the hotel, was that it was too near the railway station, which meant that at night when it was very warm could not keep the windows open due to the noise of the trains running through the night, When windows closed it was a bit quieter but made the room warm. Hotel was good location to everything though. Recommend the hotel. Staff friendly. Everyday the room was cleaned. Will definitely go back to this location.

“Vevey 2007”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2007

people found this review helpful

Just returned from Vevey last week. Hotel as described in other people's reviews was in need of upgrade but was clean, comfortable . basic. Brerakfast was sufficient but enough to set you up for the day. Found no atmosphere really at night just a sad lonely baby grand in the bar/dining area which was a shame seeing it lends itself a bit to a 30's style venue.More could be made of that area.
Our room was clean and decent shower but did overlook the station. Trains through the night could disturb you if you sleep lightly ( look out for the goods train at 02.00 ).
Overall it did the job but don;t go if you want plush! Not that type of place.
It was very warm so air-con was well needed but not installed. Had a word with the manager he said hopefully next year. I suggested fans would be a good compromise as a temporary measure which he agreed.

Stayed May 2007
