This hotel had to be included in our recommendations because of its unique appearance: this castle dates back to the 12th century and overlooks Lake Geneva.

We selected this excellent hotel because of its central location, good guest reviews and high comfort level: it offers a restaurant, bar, terrace, comfortable rooms and suites. It takes 60 seconds to walk over to the luxurious shopping street Rue De Bourg. The train station can be reached quickly as well. The hotel has various rooms that offer a view on the small park across the street (Promenade Derrière-Bourg) and Lake Geneva.
This highly valued hotel is situated in a narrow, authentic, uphill street that's typical for the town center of Lausannne: the Rue Grand Saint-Jean.

We recommend it if you prefer a lively location with everything you need at walking distance.

This small hotel across the boulevard gets good reviews from its guests. The restaurant offers Italian cuisine and seafood, and they know all about wine too. The hotel is a few steps away from where the Lake Geneva boat trips start.

We find this hotel to be a very nice alternative to the hotels on the tourist-heavy boulevard. The Tralala hotel is located in a historical and quieter part of Montreux, uphill from the town center. But it's still at walking distance from the train station and all attractions. The rooms are dedicated to famous musicians.
We think this small hostel is an excellent choice if you're on a budget. It's not in the center of Montreux, but still easily accessible: just minutes from the train stop, boat dock and the funicular up to Glion. The hostel offers breakfast and dinner. There is a playground nearby.
