Tralala Hôtel Montreux

I found this hotel absolutely wonderful. The location is perfect—just over 10 minutes’ walk from the Casino, but up on the hill so it’s quiet and away from the noise. There’s also a bus that stops literally at the front door if you don’t feel like walking. The rooms are just right for a 3-star hotel, with very comfortable beds. We did miss having air conditioning since it was a very hot week, but that’s quite normal in Switzerland—private homes and even many public places (like the airport) don’t have it. Luckily, the large windows let in plenty of fresh air at night, so sleeping wasn’t a problem. Great bathroom and powerful shower. Breakfast was excellent and varied. But what really makes this place special is the kindness and hospitality of the staff. Thank you, Paolo and team—you made us feel at home and always went above and beyond, surprising us with thoughtful touches. All in all, a wonderful hotel in a wonderful location, with unbeatable value for money. Highly recommended!

On arrival we could park our car next to the hotel. The welcome of the staff was very friendly. Immediately the staff looked to reserve a parking space just next to the hotel. Perfect.|We were in Montreux for the jazz festival and the hotel immediately put us in the mood. In our room a beautiful picture of Deep Purple. In the bar some soft Jazz music.|The room is simple but immaculate. A closet is missing, but there is enough space for your suitcase.|Breakfast offers everything necessary. Cheese, jam, chocolate, ham, eggs, bacon, bread, croissants, yogurt... coffee, tea, fruit juices.||The hotel is located on a steep slope and it is a brisk walk from the lake but in the bar there is the possibility to enjoy a cool beer.||Hotel Tralala is ideal for those looking for a place to land quietly after the concerts during the busy festival.

Hotel is very cute and room had lovely view of the nearby shops. No wardrobe or closet which was fine for us. Window shade in bathroom a bit moldy. Staff was super and quite helpful. Bar was well appreciated, and the food was excellent-quality was very nice. Skipped breakfast as the eggs and bacon were cold-seemed like the warming pot hadn’t been turned on. Would absolutely stay there again based on coziness of hotel and positive vibe of staff.

We selected this hotel as we thought it would be ideally positioned to visit the Jazz Festival and it turned out to be exactly that, it’s far enough away so that it’s not noisy or too busy, but close enough to walk there easily – downhill :-) It’s also well positioned for the Cog Railway (2 minute walk) which is a worthwhile experience and the 206 bus stop is literally outside the front door of the hotel which makes it very easy to travel on the excellent and regular bus service – especially going back to the hotel which is uphill from Montreux centre! The staff were excellent and friendly, the breakfast was good and there is food available in the evenings, albeit quite limited. The room was OK and consistent with the 3 Star rating, but the Housekeeping was a bit “hit and miss” as items and towels were not always replenished. Unfortunately there was a problem with the drains during our stay in the main part of the hotel – hopefully this was an isolated incident. The main issue for us was a group of people that congregated outside the hotel in the evenings, laughing, talking very loudly and occasionally shouting and this disturbed our sleep every night….even up until 06.00 on occasions. Clearly this isn’t the responsibility of the hotel, but I think they need to involve the police to disperse these people. Hopefully this is not so much of an issue for people on the other side of the hotel near the bus stop.

Only stayed for one quick night but was impressed. We arrived late and luckily the hotel responded quickly to my email advising of our delay and provided instructions to check in. |The hotel is quirky and the room was spacious enough. The only negative was a slight smell which we noticed throughout the room and hotel. |The receptionist was really friendly and helpful and was able to look after our bags for a few hours after we checked out. |The breakfast was great with plenty of choice for a small hotel. There were pastries, cakes, bread etc and a couple of hot items including scrambled eggs. |Easy to walk to the train station and main places within Montreux. |Would recommend.

Our check-in experience was extremely disappointing. The male staff member who handled our check-in failed to inform us of key guest benefits that should have been included with our stay. He did not mention the Montreux Riviera Card, even though he clearly remembered to charge the city tax on the spot. According to official guidelines, this card should be provided to all guests paying the city tax. In addition, our Booking.com reservation clearly stated that each guest would receive a CHF 5 dining discount, but this was also not mentioned at all. I only found out about these benefits after doing my own research, and had to go to the front desk twice to inquire and follow up. When I raised the issue, the response I received was that “different platforms offer different benefits.” Does the hotel not know which platform the guest booked through at check-in? They are quick to charge the correct amount, but apparently need the guest to ask repeatedly in order to receive what is rightfully included. Although the female staff member who later handled the Montreux Riviera Card provided an explanation, the overall experience was unacceptable. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

I had an amazing stay at the Tralala Montreux. The hôtel is well located, 15-20 minutes away from the center of the city. Lots of charm, with very nice large rooms and amazing views on the mountains and lake. Staff was extremely friendly. I highly recommend also having the breakfast which was delicious with tons of selection. Merci beaucoup!

A unique themed hotel, paying homage to the Montreux Jazz Festival, featuring huge portraits of music stars. The interior design enhances the artistic, musical flair of the hotel. Close to the train station and 8 minutes to the lake.
