“Right at the Trainstation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2011

person found this review helpful

We came after a loon booring traintrip from Münich and was only looking foroward to our rooms to dump the luggage, and then freshing up before we hit the town to grab something to eat. The Guy befind the desk showed us a map with some coozy restaurants and we went to La Grange whare we were served excellent pizzas and a good pudding for dessert,Some nice wine. Efter fullffilling dinner we took a short look on the town befor it was time to head back to the hotel finnish the last bits and peaces for our next day presentation. The fact that they have a buisness center in the lobby was really perfect. When we had finished we took a couple of beer in plastic glasses with us and went down to relax in thei heated pool that was open all evening and free of charge,.That was really what we needed after a long day on the train. There is even a Private Sauna with a fair price but only the water was warm enough 27°C.
The restaurang was buzy with a private compagny, but we could getsome drinks on the wonderful Glassveranda overlooking the passengers running to and from the trains.
In our roomd we had flatscreen TV with channels in serveral European languages. It was nice to catch up on the news!
The beds had really good matresses but the pillows a bit flat. (if you plie it it becomes thicker) The duvet was big, fluffy and kept the right temerature all night, I did't even get bothered of the trainsthat was passing-it was more of a lullaby. And in the morning the trains was interresting to watch while I waited for my collegue toget finnished in the bathroom. Breakfast was great with a fullarray of cereals and bread, juices and milk and eggs, the even had a toaster! Coffée was self-service so I could get exactly the mix I'm used to having. They even had both Sugar and Assugrin, wicch I persynally prefer.

I was told that the are a few skiresorts not to far away and I concider for my next trip to use the hotel as a base station (rates are cheaper on week.-ends) to get askiing edge before going home on the Sunday!

“Good choice in Vevey!”

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.
