“This 3-star hotel holds appeal due to its location near the train station and its tribute to Freddie Mercury. I find the concept of student trainees running the hotel interesting; however, some maintenance issues and the lack of air conditioning are concerning. Although clean and convenient, improvements are needed to enhance the overall guest experience.”

Reviews and Ratings

What past guests shared about their stay
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Freddie Mercury Hotel enjoys a brilliant location, right on platform 1 of the train station, making it convenient, and it's an easy walk to the town centre and the Riviera. Many guests find the rooms spacious and comfortable, equipped with wardrobes offering ample space. Breakfast receives high praise for its variety, including cook-to-order omelettes; also, dogs are allowed in the breakfast area. Some guests have noted the absence of outlets in the bathroom, but overall, the hotel provides a functional and well-located base for exploring Montreux, especially if you get a room on the fifth floor with rooftop views toward Lake Geneva and the Alps.

Freddie Would Be Proud

clean roomhelpful staffconvenient location
I stayed in a clean room and found the staff really helpful. The location proves really superb. it is next to the train station. People with big luggages can walk directly to this hotel from the platform. I could do that.
The room seemed just like a bland hostel, lacking soul. I found it basic, and the lighting was terrible.

The hotel features modern decorations with photographs of Freddie Mercury throughout the lobby. There is a record player with Freddie Mercury records located in the lobby. Guests can enjoy his music.

My Beautiful Double Room with Balcony included excellent air-con to maintain a perfect temperature. The balcony space was fine for enjoying the sunset. Windows offered great protection from train noises. I heard almost nothing.
