Royal Plaza Montreux

Montreux, Switzerland
$160-280/ éjszaka

Foglaljon ezt, ha You want the absolute best lake views in Montreux and don't mind fading 1980s glamour or construction noise while it transitions to a hip 'HQ' hotel.

Miért szeretik az emberek

  • Unbeatable direct Lake Geneva views from balconies
  • Walking distance to the train station and Chillon Castle
  • The indoor pool and spa (when open) are a rare find in town

Gyors áttekintés: A former grand dame currently in a messy identity crisis—part construction site, part retro luxury, all about the view.

Értékelte @Detective.Amnah: I stayed in a lake-facing room and honestly, the view stole the show. The interior is classic, but stepping onto that balcony at sunset was magical. It’s the perfect spot if you just want to sit back, watch the water, and forget the world for a while.

The hype

Guests are torn between the spectacular lake scenery and the tired, dusty interiors that desperately need the upcoming renovation.

Reality check

The '5-star' rating feels like a legacy title; reviews consistently mention stained carpets, peeling paint, and a 'time capsule' vibe from 1989.

  • You prioritize a balcony with a lake view over modern furniture
  • You are a Wyndham/SBE loyalty member burning points before the rebrand
  • You plan to be out exploring all day and just need a bed with a view

Tisztaság és karbantartás

6.8
  • Housekeeping: Staff tries hard, but dust settles quickly in old rooms. Daily service is reliable.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Clean but worn. Expect stained grout, peeling sealant, or chipped enamel rather than filth.
  • Maintenance: Poor. Reports of broken AC, flickering lights, and peeling wallpaper are common.
  • Linens & towels: Decent quality, crisp white, but towels can be on the thin/scratchy side.
  • Odors & scents: Frequent complaints of 'old hotel smell'—dust, mustiness, and occasionally cigarette smoke residue.

Szobagenie

Legjobb szobák

  • Deluxe Lake View (Direct) - avoids the worst of the side-construction noise
  • Junior Suite Lake View - worth the upgrade for the larger balcony

Kerülendő szobák

  • City View rooms - they face the street and have zero charm
  • Park & Lake Side rooms - currently overlook the Vernex Park construction zone

“I am aware of the construction next door. Please assign a room as high as possible, strictly facing the lake (South) and away from the 2m2c center (East side) to minimize noise.”

GYIK és rejtett tippek

Minden, amit tényleg tudni szeretnél a foglalás előtt.

Is the spa currently open?

Mostly yes, but it closes completely for maintenance Jan 19–30, 2026. Always check for 'technical closure' notices before booking.

Does the hotel have air conditioning?

Yes, but it's an older central system that struggles during July/August heatwaves.

Is it worth paying for a lake view?

100% yes. Without the view, you are just staying in a tired, expensive room near a construction site.

How bad is the construction noise?

Significant on weekdays from 7 AM. If you plan to sleep in or work from the room, it will be a problem.

Is breakfast included?

Usually not. It costs ~CHF 30 per adult. Reviews are mixed ('crowded,' 'broken pancake machine'), so consider skipping it.

Can I walk to Chillon Castle?

Yes, it's a beautiful, flat 30-40 minute walk along the flower-lined lake promenade.

Insider tippek

  • ✨

    Request a 'corner room' if available; they often have dual-aspect balconies.

  • ✨

    The 'Sunset Bar' has the same view as the expensive restaurant but cheaper drinks/snacks.

  • ✨

    Don't pay for water in the room; Swiss tap water is pristine, or buy bottles at the Coop supermarket 5 mins away.

5 dolog, amit tudnod kell az utazás előtt

  • 💡The 'Park Side' view is currently a view of a construction staging area in Vernex Park.

  • 💡The bathtubs in standard rooms are notoriously narrow and high-step.

  • 💡There is a 'wet paint' or 'musty' smell in some corridors due to the piecemeal renovations.

  • 💡The 'Dr. Burgener' spa products are actually high-end luxury, a surprising contrast to the dated locker rooms.

  • 💡You might be staying next to empty rooms being gutted for the 'HQ' rebrand.
