Golf Hotel René Capt

Montreux


This lakefront Belle-Epoque hotel has good 'bones' but the decor and some common areas could do with a refresh. That said, it offers good value when compared to other properties of its ilk and when you're strolling in the garden or admiring the views of Lake Geneva and the Alps, you won't even care about the colour of a lampshade.

Make sure to pay extra for a room with a view (or manifest a free upgrade). Rooms on the city side of the hotel face the railway lines.
