- Gabriela (9/5): Ein schöner Aufenthalt in einem historischen Hotel mit Charme. - Die Lage, das historische Haus, die knarrenden Böden, der friedvolle Garten, das köstliche Frühstück und das freundliche Personal machten für mich den Aufenthalt einzigartig. Etwas ringhörig, aber das lässt sich wahrscheinlich nicht vermeiden.

- Ali (7/5): Really nice to stay in this family run independent hotel. It has lots of history but has the benefit of modern bedding - The location was spot on…. staff friendly and welcoming Under staffed - whilst there was a bar on site there was never anyone manning it. We were able to find someone to sort out drinks though apart from one evening.

- Giuliana (7/5): -
- Giada (8/5): - Tutti i servizi che la camera offriva Niente
- Jean-luc (10/5): -
- David (3/5): Sabor agridulce. - El encanto de su construcción y por su puesto las maravillosas vistas de donde está situado frente al lago y en alto. La limpieza es horrible. De cara a lo visible muy bien, pero muchísima suciedad en zonas no de paso, mesita de noche, detrás de las camas... E incluso varias arañas sobre las camas.
Tengo que destacar que el desayuno muy bien.
- Carole (8/5): -
- Catherine (9/5): - L'ambiance, le personel aimable, le déjeuner et la vue Rien

- Marcel (9/5): - Gute Lage
Parkplätze vorhanden etwas hellhörig
- Elif (8/5): -
- María (8/5): Buena ubicación y personal agradable - Estaba bien situado y bien comunicado. Los colchones eran incómodos y las camas necesitan ser renovadas
- Pedro Manuel (6/5): Sabor agridulce - Hotel pintoresco,las habitaciones son de estilo antiguo y bastante grandes.
La ubicación del hotel es muy buena cerca de una parada de bus y a 20 min andando del Castillo de Chillón.
Las vistas desde la fachada donde se ubican las letras son espectaculares. En 3 noches q hemos estado no nos ha hecho ningún día la habitación,mientras con la familia de amigos con la que viajábamos si.La limpieza en algunos rincones de la habitación brillaba por su ausencia.
El desayuno los 3 días lo mismo y tenían muy poca variedad.
- Jenny (10/5): Superb - The wonderful staff, magnificent view, gorgeous old world vibe
- Maximilian (10/5): -
- naif (10/5): - حسن تعامل موظفين الاستقبال المنظر من الشرفه رائع الشرفه مشترك ولمن لديه اطفال الافضل اخذ الغرفه المطله ع الحديقه في الدور الارضي الافطار جيد جداً لايوجد مصعد وصوت الخشب اثناء المشي بالغرفه
- Filiz (9/5): - Very cute old building with a nice garden and fantastic view. The old furnitures are very well-kept. Christmas decorations were lovely! Beds are comfortable and rooms are spacious. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room had nice lake view. The stairway is a bit loud due to creaky wooden floors and can be heard easily from the room. However it was still very quiet at night, we slept very well and did not experienced any disturbance.
- Aurelien D. (7/5): - Hôtel avec charme d époque, petit déjeuner bon et efficace Vieille maison où on entend tout ( voisin du dessus, voisin d à côté )

- Ping-Jung (10/5): Classical Manor Hotel - It's an old house in an old manor, but for those who like classical architecture and decoration, it's a manor hotel worth visiting. It's near Chillon Castle. a 15-minute walk away. Good Breakfast and Dinner. Nice Staff. None
- Joelle (7/5): De passage à Lausanne , un peu déçus - Bel hôtel , décoration retro , bien situé . Le parking de l’hôtel , payant !
Le menu du dîner imposé et pas très bon .
La literie , très dure ….

- Angus (8/5): - Superb interesting hotel in a quiet location. Expertly furnished in keeping with the age of the building, and the food was good and quite reasonably priced. A little out of town but an easy bus service to the bottom.of the hill. Superb biews Nothing

- Petra (7/5): - Schöne Lage, zurückversetzt in eine andere Zeit
- Robert (9/5): Great location - The location was perfect, making it easy to explore the city. The beds were comfortable. Good breakfast—a great variety and tasty. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Montreux!

- Joanna (10/5): Beautiful hotel with traditional charm - five star experience - Magnificent little hotel! I had a room with spacious balcony from which I could see the lake and the mountains. Bed was absolutely comfortable - the house quiet - I slept like a baby! I loved the traditional decor and the feeling of the hotel. The service was five stars! I will return and recommend it to everyone!
- Rachel (10/5): - This historic hotel is beautiful and a fun place to stay just outside of Montreux. You can easily access the city center and Chillon Castle from one of the main bus lines just down the road. The included breakfast was delicious, and the small bar/lounge area was a great place to enjoy a drink after a day exploring. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. We hope to return next time we visit Montreux!
- Artan (10/5): - Es war alles perfekt. Die Aussicht ist wunderschön.
- Peter (8/5): -
- Svetlana (10/5): - A fantastic place full of history!
The staff is absolutely amazing, it makes a huge difference when you see that people love their job. We felt welcome and cared for all the time.
Our room was beautiful and full of character - as well as all communal areas. I took a moment to read about the history of the hotel, and it's absolutely fascinating. Knowing that it's the oldest hotel in Montreux where a lot of great people used to stay (including Victor Hugo), makes it even more special.
- David (10/5): - A lovely place ! Delightful and charming furnishings in the room, and throughout the hotel. Friendly and helpful staff. Delicious dinner and breakfast. If it had not been rainy, we would have enjoyed the fabulous view of the lake and mountains from little balcony.
- Alicia (6/5): - In a great locating. Parking very tight and only a few spaces. Breakfast was lovely and the service was great. Check in was also great and the host was very helpful. The beds weren't very comfortable and very creeky however, so it was hard to sleep.
- vinu (8/5): - Location
- Juliette (9/5): -
- Patricia (8/5): -
- Matthias (6/5): Antik, etwas romantisch, aber nicht unbedingt nochmal! - Der historische Stil wurde konsequent eingehalten! Der Seeblick ist faszinierend.
Sehr freundliches, hilfsbereites Personal! Trotz antiker Einrichtung stimmt u. E. das Preis-/ Leistungsverhältnis nicht, offensichtlich wird ein „ Montreux-Zuschlag“ erhoben.
Im Bad war der Feststeller der Handbrause defekt, sodass man sich nicht unter die Dusche stellen kann.
Die Parksituation ist stark beengt.
- Kent (8/5): -
- Nicole (9/5): Einzigartig und unvergesslich - reiches Frühstücksbüffet mit viel Auswahl, Zimmer sehr gemütlich, sauber und im nostalgischen Style. Ruhige Lage des Hotels und Montreux ist auch zu Fuss erreichbar. Ca. 20 Min.
- Michelle (10/5): This was a delightful stay! - Historical charm, balcony with lake view for our double room. Our daughter’s single room had a balcony as well. This quaint hotel is close to the castle. The dinner was delicious and the ladies packed us a breakfast for the next morning, as we had an early departure. The service was splendid. Nothing
- silviu catalin (8/5): - La ubicación, la decoración del alojamiento, las vistas de la habitación. El personal es amable.. La limpieza podría ser algo mejor. Telas de aranas por todos los lados y mucho polvo en la habitación.
- Jessica (10/5): -
- Ewa (10/5): Wyjątkowy. - Stylowy, kameralny hotel. Bardzo smaczne i świeże jedzenie, piękna zastawa. Nie podobało mi się to, że nie mam wystarczającej kondycji i wchodząc pod górę musiałam odpoczywać.
- Desneiges (10/5): - A short bus ride to downtown Montreux. With earplugs and an eye mask, you'll be in good hands.
- Carolyn (10/5): -
- Ludger (8/5): Stilvoll und erholsam. - Tolle Lage und toller Blick vom Balkon auf den See. Schöner Balkon. Stilvolle Ausstattung. Kaffeegetränke sehr stark.
- Vanessa (9/5): - Die Ausstattung und Erhalt des historischen Hotels. Sehr freundliches und unompliziertes Personal. Die Betten waren bequem aber leider was es kein gemeinsames Bett. Staub unter dem Tisch
- عبدالله (10/5): -
- عبدالله (10/5): إقامتك بهذا الفندق تزيد من سعادتك - طاقم العمل ودود ويساعدون الجميع وإبتساماتهم لاتفارق وجوههم ومحبين ومخلصين بالعمل ومتعاونين وقد ساعدوني بالكثير
وأنا لا أستطيع أن أصف شعوري تجاههم فقد أحببتهم كعائلتي فشكراً لهم كل شي جميل
- Sedfugit (9/5): -
- Irene (10/5): Estupendo! - Es la segunda vez que hemos estado y si volvemos, repetiremos!, es precioso,las vistas, una linda terraza,muy amables, un 10! Nos gustó el desayuno pero echamos de menos podernos hacer una tostada, yo recomendaría que pusieran una tostadora y que quien quiera, se la pueda hacer y algo más de variedad.
- AKMARAL (10/5): - Очень красивый отель, вид с окна на озеро просто великолепный. Классный сад. Очень внимательный персонал.
- Axelle (10/5): C'était très chouette !! J'y retournerais avec plaisir ! - Le lit était très confortable, le petit déjeuné très copieux et l'hôtesse d'accueil très sympathique. La vue entre la montagne et le lac , sur un balcon très agréable . Le sauna très bien ! Lao miroir était beaucoup trop haut pour me voir dans la salle de bain.
- Prof.Hani AlAmri (2/5): - اطلالة الغرف على الجبال والمنظر الخارجي جميل غير مريح قديم كل شيء النظافة ليست جيدة والسرر غير مريحة والأفطار اقل من العادي
- Franziska (10/5): Ein Aufenthalt im Hotel Masson ist absolut empfehlenswert. - Das Hotel Masson befindet sich in einer sehr ruhigen Wohnlage und man ist in wenigen Gehminuten am See und beim Schloss Chillon. Schön ist, die Räume und auch die Zimmer wurden im traditionellen Stil erhalten, was ihnen einen besonders charmanten Charakter verleiht. Der Frühstücksraum ist bezaubernd, und das Frühstück ist reichhaltig und lecker. Das Hotel verfügt über einen ruhigen Garten sowie eine schöne kleine Terrasse, auf der man verweilen und die Aussicht auf den Genfersee bei einem Pastis geniessen kann. Der historische Charakter des gesamten Hauses blieb erhalten, sodass man sich wirklich in vergangene Zeiten zurückversetzt fühlt. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die familiäre Atmosphäre, die uns sehr gefallen hat – wir wurden herzlich empfangen und fühlten uns sofort willkommen.
- Anna (7/5): Hotel bijzonder historie, maar zal er niet weer heengaan. - Uitzicht mooi over het meer van Genève. Het eten was fantasieloos. Zonder liefde klaargemaakt. Erg warm binnen. Zelf maar ramen opengezet.
Ook het ontbijt moest binnen genuttigd worden. Terwijl het een heerlijke ochtend was. Na vraag daarover was antwoord dat je bord mee naar buiten kon nemen. De tafels buiten, in tuin en balkon waren niet daarvoor gedekt.
- Li Hsueh (8/5): -
- Jannicke (8/5): Hyggelig opphold - Hyggelig og hjemmekoselig hotel, men litt slitt og gammelt enkelte steder. Enkel og god frokost, men personalet burde opplyse om at man kan få bestille omelett, eggerøre osv. Dette så vi andre fikk, men da hadde vi allerede spist.
- Maria Eleonora (8/5): Un salto da fiaba nel passato🩵 - Tutto perfetto! La struttura esattamente come promessa da foto…. Sapore di antico lasciato dagli ex proprietari. L’hotel esiste da 160 anni…. Molto romantico!
All’accoglienza abbiamo ricevuto un upgrade e ci hanno dato la camera con terrazzino e vista sul lago. Meraviglioso!
- Michele (10/5): -
- Luca (9/5): -
- Jelle (10/5): - Really nice hotel with Belle Epoque atmosphere.
- Andreas G. Thiel (9/5): -
- Gemma (9/5): Molt agradable. - La història i l’encant que desprèn. Que no tingui ascensor.
- Natalia (10/5): Hunde freundliche. Nette Personal. Essen perfekt. - Hunde freundliche. Gute Aussicht. Genial essen. Freundliche Personal.
- Shaina (10/5): - Beautiful property and room. Lovely breakfast. Gorgeous views
- Allan (8/5): Ældre hotel med atmosfære - Ældre hotel med atmosfære med søkig
- Corinne (9/5): -
- Steven (9/5): Good stay - Beautiful location, parking and easy access to Montreux centre. Lovely original features and helpful staff. Given the very hot weather air conditioning would have been nice but in fairness would not have fitted in well with the historical features
