Location is good but also too close to the railway. A bit noisy at night and can’t sleep well. Some facilities are lack of maintenance and quite dusty. Also, no air-con and quite hot even in early April. Anyway, can’t sleep well for the whole night with noise and hot room. However, staff are excellent!

3 stars is fair. I love the concept of this hotel, and the idea that staff are all students in training. The Freddie Mercury name is a big draw and I didn't find the area bad. To avoid hills, walk along the train platform & you can use escalators/lifts. Otherwise walk down the hills for shops/resturants in easy reach. Great links to public transport. The hotel misses on a few points for me, I detest carrying around something with the hotel name and my room rumber on it, this is screaming out for rooms to be robbed - with a key you don't even walk through reception. This isn't safe for me. The rooms desperately need blackout curtains, yes it has shutters and these look lovely, however they don't block light. I'm glad I wasn't staying in peak summer, with no air con either! The pillows were awful, but the beds comfortable and the whole hotel was spotlessly clean. The rooms were very basic, but I didn't mind this. I prefer this to some styles! Lastly, the T&C's of staying, that you sign, seemed very focused on items going missing from rooms. I was unhappy with this (it didn't seem standard) so left a 'do not disturb' sign on my room. When I've done this in other hotels, housekeeping will generally check if you still need anything. Even slip a card under the door, or ask you to visit reception. Here I had to ask for toilet roll and towels. Odd? Would I stay here again? Probably not - for the above reasons. There's room for improvements for sure.

A tribute to the great Freddy Mercury, this hotel had pictures all over the lobby giving me nostalgic memories of his music. Beyond that, the hotel is pretty new and in great condition. The staff are excellent and very helpful. My booking through Expedia didn’t show up on their end so due to availability they could only give me a lower tier room but made up with complementary breakfast. The next night they upgraded my room and gave me complementary breakfast (reg 25CHF). Loved the customer service overall. Would highly recommend this hotel.

As an older female, and solo traveller, I found The Freddie Mercury Hotel to be very safe indeed. Conveniently located and easily accessibleat the end of the Montreux train station platform. There are shops, a small supermarket, a pharmacy, an Irish Pub, and local bus stop within minutes minutes from the hotel. And also a lift down to the lake area beside the main road. It's a bright, spacious, modern hotel. Bright, clean, and well equipped for the traveller. I had breakfast each morning, which is buffet style, but caters for all tastes, with hot, cold, and very fresh tasty food and beverages. The dining area is always staffed, on hand if you require any assistance. The kitchen and dining area are spotless! Beds are simply luxurious. Staff are a joy to experience. They are genuinely friendly, helpful and informative. They made their job look effortless, regardless of the time of day, and gave each guest their full attention. Well done, and many thanks to them all. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
