The location of The Freddie Mercury Hotel worked well for us. Despite being nearly attached to the Montreux train station, it was set back from the main road and on a quiet street in the centre. Very easy to walk everywhere in Montreux from the hotel. There is underground car parking (EUR25/night and best to request when reserving a room), but the entrance is a bit tight into the car elevator and large cars / vans would have difficulty maneuvering even in the parking garage. The quad room on the 4th floor was very spacious! A large king sized bed, plus two twins, plus a sitting area with two chairs and a small sofa. All felt very clean and like a modern “boutique” style hotel, though the shower room felt slightly too small for 4 people. (The toilet was in a separate room.) We were told there was “no AC but all the rooms are ventilated”, but it stayed cool enough with the metal electronic metal blinds down during the day so we didn’t need the AC. There’s also a desk area along the window…over looking the train tracks. Even number rooms faces the train track and odd number rooms face the lake. The hotel is a new training facility for the nearby hospitality traininig school. Hence, the more reasonable prices in an area where hotel stays can be quite pricey. Despite the “Freddie Mercury” name, it’s really more just some photo history of Freddie on the walls and not much else. Still, the hotel offers a very good value in terms of its quality and main services. Breakfast (EUR18 per adult, EUR9 per child) each morning was served until 10am. Buffet style, nothing fancy, but there was always a good selection of cold meats, cheeses, salads, cereals, yogurt, breads, croissants and whole fresh fruit. Along with hot options of eggs and hashbrowns, plus coffees, juices, and a water refill pump. We had the pleasure of meetimg Mr Zampetti, the hotel manager, and Swift, the front desk manager. Both were very professional and pleasant in sorting out an issue with one of our rooms. We loved the Montreux experience and would definitely stay at the Freddie Mercury hotel the next time we visit…for its quiet yet convenient location, its value for money, and for the courtesy of its staff.
