“The building's neoclassical architecture makes for an inviting stay, and the rooftop terrace delivers views that justify a visit alone; La Brasserie J5 provides classic French cuisine in an elegant setting. While some rooms show their age, the location opposite Casino Barrière means Montreux unfolds right outside the door, enhanced by the Montreux Riviera Card for easy exploring. It's a fine choice for those prioritizing location and historic charm.”

fantastic location and friendly service

central locationfriendly staffclean roommissing kettle

i stayed to see the christmas markets, a short walk away. the train station was also close. the restaurant was lovely. the staff was friendly and the food was AMAZING!!! the room was clean and nice.

i didn't find a hot-water kettle in our room, unfortunate. i would have liked to make a thermos of warm water in the cold weather. maybe i missed it in the room information, but it would be nice to have one.

Mixed Feelings About This Stay

bathroom doorweak pressure

The lack of attention to detail was disappointing. A large cobweb remained on the wall throughout my stay. The bathroom door also did not close properly, I found this rather inconvenient. The shower's water pressure felt weak and inconsistent, so showers were not enjoyable. The room could definitely use some updates.
