This hotel turned out to better than we had expected; having seen the review in the holiday brochure, comments here and looked at the pictures on Google maps I had expected a hotel that was more basic, up a steep hill and likely to be noisy from the motorway. None of this was true (well the walk up the path... More

On balance our stay in the hotel was pretty disappointing mainly due to bad beds and a very hot room.   It is an historic hotel which had several downsides for us: -the interior of the hotel has not been modernised and has an old "club" feel about it -there is no elevator and you have to carry your luggage...

The Hotel Masson is an absolute gem - it takes you back to a different era away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Location - about 40 mins walk from Montreux centre, but 5 mins walk down a steep hill brings you to the nearest trolley bus stop (Bonivard). Buses run every 10 mins, and take about 10... More

For me, this is a gem! An old house from the 19th century where in some corners, time stood still. The beautiful original radiators, the ancient food elevator frm/to the kitchen, the wooden floor... and the wonderful location near Chateau de Chillon. Yes, Switzerland is not cheap and room rates of around 240 CHF are pretty normal but I find... More

We stayed one night at the hotel in order to go to the Jazz Festival. It was kind of a last minute thing to find a hotel and we left it way too late and were lucky to get a space here due to a cancellation. But it 270 CHF per night, I think it was overpriced for what we... More

Spent two nights at the hotel due to visiting the Montreux Jazz Festival. Although the building is not spectacular from the outside, the interior appears to be genuine 19th century style, with lots of antique furniture. The location is quiet and relaxing. The room was well equipped for a three star hotel, had a side view of the lake of... More

We spent 4 nights in the hotel. The beds, linens and pillows were extremely uncomfortable, even for European 3 star standards. Breakfast was adequate. If you have difficulties walking up hill be aware that there is a fairly steep climb from the bus stop on the main road up to the hotel, and there are plenty of stairs in the... More

Everything was just right: the food, the staff, the interior. No luxury but nice. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere. I would love to visit Hotel Masson again.
