Golf Hôtel

Terrible experience. Absolutely not worth the price, this is not a 4 star hotel, more like an extremely overpriced old 2-3 star hotel. When arriving to check in, the lady at the front desk dismissed us and attended to the requests of 2 people who arrived after us before us. No courtesy and not friendly at all. Then the younger people at the reception didn’t speak French but only English which we found weird since we are French speakers as well and Montreux is in the Swiss French part. When entering our room, with the MASSIVE key that’s the size of an iPhone (another detail which shows how poorly made everything was), there was only 1 towel in the room (we were 2 people) so not prepared well. Impossible to sleep in the rooms: the beds aren’t very comfortable and there are no double beds we were told : all the rooms are 2 single beds which they can out together to form a double bed but there’s a big hole in the middle then. And very badly isolated for the noise: you can hear the alarm ringing of people in the other rooms, and especially the super loud noise of the FROGS (even with earplugs) since we had the lake view room.. we didn’t sleep all night. The standard in Switzerland is to have noise blocking double windows… There’s not even free bottles of water while u pay 400-500 per night for a room.. no pool and amenities you would find in a normal 4 star hotel Finally, let’s talk about the (terrible) breakfast : really not worth it, most things taste like hospital food, and doesn’t cater to certain dietary restrictions. In conclusion: not worth it , save your money and go anywhere else!

We stayed at this hotel for one night. The hotel has a great location over looking Lake Geneva and has a lovely garden that runs down to the lake promenade. The centre of Montreux is about 15min walk along the lake. We paid extra for a lake-view room which had a balcony and afforded great views. The room had been freshly decorated was simple and modern with a very nice walkin shower and comfy bed. We decided to eat our evening meal in the hotel restaurant, unfortunately compared the rest of the hotel experience our meal was disappointing. The meal price was relatively high even for Switzerland and unfortunately it was presentation over taste /quality. If it was not for the meal experience I would have rated the hotel as excellent. We had not booked breakfast so can't comment. As a tip if you are in Montreux take an 1 hour to visit the Queen / Freddy Mercury museum / recording studios at the Casino - it is free and really interesting.

Montreux is literally my favourite place ever and this hotel doesn’t disappoint ||The welcome is warm and genuine from the minute you step inside . Nothing is too much trouble and impeccable English despite my fluent French ||So to start there is street parking but limited to three hours so the Swiss permit available from tourist office etc ||I am blue badge uk disabled and managed to park up on main road - the disabled bay at Territet little port annoyingly was full with a burger van ||We did book the final night parking at hotel for 18CHF ||The reception/ bar area is superb and the out door area magnificent with views across the bay and the mighty Dans Du Midi ||Our room 134 was lovely however taller people may find the beam across the room a challenge ! ||The bathroom is small but ok . The main issue for us - aunty and niece (adults ) was the door screen was not private ! Ok for us as we joked but not everyone cup of tea seeing all !! Very see through||The bed super comfy and quiet . Yes you hear the railway and swans croaking but we liked it .||The gardens are lovely and seating plentiful Outside , sadly it rained a bit for us so couldn’t get to really enjoy the stunning setting ||The breakfast is good but can be a delay in replenishing the hot scrambled eggs , bacon . Also there were plentiful sausage , Yogurt , fruit , boiled eggs , selection on meats and bread , plentiful supply and very attentive welcoming staff ||We did enjoy a beverage at the bar , usually hotel prices and lovely bar man .||Nothing was too much trouble . We used an adapter too as didn’t have one just a deposit of 20chf a room ||Trolly bus stop 5 mins from door ||Would certainly come back . ||The staff all are a credit to the hotel

The hotel has an old style appearance with an amazing view of the lake. The room where I stayed had a lake view but unfortunately the bed was not king size instead there were two beds put together which weren’t comfortable to sleep with your partner. There was not so much water pressure in the shower and the room smelled like it was painted very recently. The food was ok and the staff were very friendly. I expected much more for the price I paid.

I recently booked a 2-night stay at the Golf Hotel René Capt, and it turned out to be a nightmare. Initially, I reserved a city-view room, but was informed by the front desk Celine that it is intolerably noisy due to the proximity to the train tracks. Seeking a more peaceful stay, I requested to see a lake-view room and personally prefer to not have carpet rooms due to allergies. To my dismay, both rooms were filthy. I found hair in the bathtub, sink, couch, and on the pillows. This level of uncleanliness is simply unacceptable. When I reported these issues to the front desk, the employees, including two interns and a staff member named Celine Cengia, were visibly embarrassed and called the situation "disgusting." Celine contacted the manager, who was off that day, and he instructed her to offer us a free upgrade. However, an upgrade does not compensate for the revolting conditions, such as finding hair from previous guests on the pillows and sheets. The mere thought of sleeping in such a room was repulsive. I then spoke directly with the manager (the following day), Georges Konstantinidis, who was astonishingly rude and dismissive. He blamed me for having high expectations and refused to issue a refund when I chose to leave due to the appalling state of the rooms. His behavior was not only unprofessional but downright insulting. He exhibited a complete lack of empathy or understanding and made me feel like I was in the wrong for expecting a clean room. His condescending attitude and refusal to address the problem seriously were shocking and deeply frustrating. Despite my extensive experience staying in various accommodations ranging from 3-star to 5-star hotels, B&Bs, and guest houses, this hotel was by far the worst. The lack of basic hygiene and the manager's appalling attitude made it unbearable. I am extremely disappointed with the handling of this situation and would strongly advise against staying at this hotel. Save yourself the trouble and book elsewhere.

The lake view from the room is breathtaking, and the room are ok, the hotel is hostorical and beautiful; However things stop there....the breakfast is basic, low quality with exhausted servants . The dinner was even worse. Practically, the main courses were no different than a none imppresive appetizers. It felt the hotel is struggling with exhausted crew....this is our second time stay in this hotel after 7 years... so not only we didnot notice any meaningful upgrade, seems things went south... the hotel is historical and has character, it is very disappointing that is being managed poorly...sorry no repeat businnes for me or recommendation by me ...

Awful service ! people in reception are totally useless and rude ! the rooms are extremely noisy.. shouting and running and jumping on upper floor at 4:00 am !! reception did absolutely notting about it !!!! I couldn’t sleep for nights .. The door’s lock of other room was broken so everyone could open the door from outside !! I did not have safety .. Breakfast and lunch were so poorly and smelly…. Staff is unbelievably unfriendly , I am still shocked by low standards of a place like this . This hotel is a nightmare indeed !!! I do NOT recommend it at all … don’t waste your time and money on this hotel ! there are better hotels in this city ..

Old hotel ,well maintained. There's no AC in the rooms. There's not private parking. You will have to park on the street if there is space available. The roos looking at the lake are nice.

Here we end up on our last three days of our vacation.In the second floor to the right side of the building, you can open the window and see the lake and snow capped mountains.Just below the back of the hotel is the promenade of flowers , lush, tropical and green.There exists no air conditioning, so avoid this place in the summer.The bathroom looks like they stole it lout of a cruise ship,exactly the same.They advertise free shuttle- no! They advertise breakfast included with all rooms- no!They advertise they will mail postcards and have stamps - in fact .I gave them 4 postcards to mail and no one has received one, but they charged me $20 / chf and said they wood. This is an old property that really needs gutted and renovated. Thank god I wasn't here in the summer to stick to the sheets.The breakfast is limited because of the off season.Staff are friendly and nice , even if they're lying in your face.I don't recommend this 4 star( should be 1/2 star ) old wreck of a hotel.

Beautiful hotel with beautiful views from lakeside balcony and restaurant terrace. Front desk staff where very friendly, very helpful, and pleasant. Deluxe room with lakeside view was plenty spacious. There is no road between the hotel and the lake, only the paved beautiful tree covered Lakeside Promenade Fleuri, the walkway that surrounds the lake, so we would expect the hotel to be much quieter with no traffic noise and perhaps more relaxing and less touristy than other hotels more towards the center of town. However, just a short pleasant stroll and you'll be right downtown in minutes if you desire. It's also located towards Chateau de Chillion and it's an easy walk from the hotel to there also. It is a classic old hotel, very updated, but expect the quirky odd placement of electrical outlets, bathroom light is to be turned on from the outside of the bathroom, and the single glass of the shower allows water to get all over the floor. However, all this easily tolerated for the location and quite, pleasant stay. We favor the more German side of the Swiss cuisine as compared to the French cuisine offered in the hotel restaurant. Also, the older waiter at the restaurant, was nice enough, but would only speak to us in French although he knew we only understood English. That was kind of annoying. Otherwise, all other staff were great. No AC, but we were there just after August and with the doors open it was plenty cool and comfortable. Wi-Fi worked well. Overall, hotel was extremely nice, and we would totally stay there again!
