Grand Hotel Suisse Majestic, Autograph Collection
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Yes, if you want a well-rated 4-star opposite the station with views guests rave about, at well under half the price of our Luxury pick. Skip it if you are on a tight budget or sensitive to soft mattresses, which some guests mention.

This is our Best Value pick for Montreux. It suits couples and rail travellers who want a central base. Guests say it is directly opposite the train station and a short walk from the town centre.
Views are the other big draw. Reviewers describe panoramic outlooks over the water and mountains, particularly from private balconies. Not every room is confirmed to have a balcony or that view, so check the room type.
Skip it if price is the deciding factor: it sat above the city median on our reference dates. Light sleepers who need a firm bed should also read the guest comments below.
Location and getting around
The address is 45, Avenue des Alpes, in Montreux City Centre. The location score is 9.6 out of 10, the strongest figure in the data.
Chillon Castle is about 2.8 km away, roughly 35 minutes on foot, so it counts as far; public transport or a taxi is the easier option. Musée Jenisch (5.7 km, about 71 minutes) and Swiss Vapeur Parc (7.1 km, about 89 minutes) are well beyond walking range.
These walking times are straight-line estimates and have not been verified. Being opposite the station helps for day trips.
What guests say
The score is 8.8 out of 10 from 952 reviews, 2nd of the 7 eligible hotels we compared on review score.
Location and views get the most praise. The recurring complaint is about beds: most guests call them comfortable, but some report mattresses that are soft or saggy, or beds that slide on their wheels.
Price and how it compares with our other picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 November, 2 adults, one room) were about €271.14 a night. The median of the hotels we compared was €216.09, so this one sat above it.
Our Budget pick, Villa Toscane, was about €134.46 a night with a score of 8.1 and 3 stars. Our Luxury pick, Fairmont Le Montreux Palace, was about €597.12 a night with a score of 9.1 and 5 stars.
You pay about twice the Budget price for a higher score and a 4-star hotel opposite the station. The Fairmont scores a little more but costs over €320 more per night. These were not live quotes; check today's price for your dates.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 7 eligible hotels in Montreux. Best Value balances guest score, review count and price. It is not necessarily the cheapest.
With the second-best score in the sample and nearly a thousand reviews, it offered close to top-tier ratings at less than half the Luxury price.
