Hôtel Villa Toscane Montreux — Restaurant in Montreux

This hotel was difficult to review and assess and whilst I've given it 4 stars, I decided to round up from 3.5 stars, rather than round down. The hotel is located about 15 minutes walk from the railway station and is at the end of town. However, there is a convenient bus stop outside to go into town and to return. |Check in/out is at the (5 star?) Royal Plaza Hotel across the road, which is unusual; breakfast is there as well; luggage storage if required, is also at the Royal Plaza and they provide complimentary public transport tickets. Reception provide you with a keycard and code to enter Villa Toscane, with entry along a short side street off the main road. Looking at the exterior of the hotel, your initial thoughts are oh, oh, it looks a little run down. However, on entering, it has clearly been and is still being, renovated (without any inconvenience). Our room faced the back of the hotel, which meant it was nice and quiet and it was modern and looked newly renovated. All facilities were there - a safe, a fridge, desk, chairs, coffee table, although a large portable fan substituted for air con. Plus, best of all, we had two bathrooms. Whether that is standard, I have no idea. It was very comfortable.|As mentioned, breakfast was back across the road at the Royal Plaza and breakfast was pretty average, with...

We came to Montreux to see a few days of the Jazz Festival with our family of 5 (kids 18, 15, 9). I read lots of not great reviews before we came, but they had a room that could comfortably fit our fam, unlike most hotels we were at on the trip so we took a chance (and were rewarded). ||Before we arrived they sent the Montreux Riviera Card sign up so we had access to all public transport on arrival. Check-in across the street at the Royal Plaza was easy. Staff were fantastic, super helpful and pointed out all of the options and amenities. ||Breakfast - we didn’t do the light breakfast that is fully included on any of the 3 mornings, but instead paid the 10CHF per person to have the very good full breakfast. ||Pool - encountered 2 other people each time we went. Kids enjoyed. ||Room - it was hot out, but the room stayed reasonably cool. A bit worn, but not the end of the world. It is a nice old building. We heard noise from the festival, which we expected. If we didn’t want noise we could have stayed far away from this area. ||Overall, there was almost zero alignment with the complaints in other reviews. We’d come back, if we ever can afford it again (Switzerland is expensive. We knew it would be....
