What guests think

At Swiss Historic Hotel Masson, guests consistently praise the Belle Époque charm, welcoming staff, satisfying breakfasts and dinners, beautiful lake and mountain views, and convenient bus access with proximity to Chillon Castle for exploring Montreux and the surrounding Riviera.

Set in a quiet area outside the center, it features period interiors plus a bar, lounge, terrace, and garden. Access can be challenging due to a steep uphill approach and the lack of an elevator, which complicates luggage handling. Rooms show charm but also thin walls and creaky floors, with some dated fittings or inconsistent showers and mixed bed comfort. Expect a characterful, well run historic stay with tradeoffs typical of an old building.

Hotel situato in una zona molto tranquilla a 10 minuti a piedi dalla stazione e dal castello di Chillon. La padrona di casa è una signora molto piacevole che ti fa sentire a casa tua, come anche il suo staff. La struttura è storica e questo comporta pro e contro: location bellissima ristrutturata nei punti giusti, ma parquet scricchiolante, muri molto sottili e tende non proprio oscuranti, non aiutano chi ha il sonno leggero. La colazione, compresa nel prezzo, è semplice ma buona. C'è la possibilità di parcheggiare l'auto nei posti dedicati con un sovrapprezzo di 12 franchi per notte. C'è anche il ristorante, ma noi non ne abbiamo usufruito. A pochi passi si trova anche autobus che in 5 minuti vi porta a Montreux. Vale sicuramente l'esperienza.

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!

This is a lovely old fashioned hotel, with beautiful views , the bar, lounge gardens and restaurant are delightful. It is a steep walk up the hill to get to it if using public transport however. The staff are universally helpful, kind and charming.

Struttura molto vicina al bellissimo castello di Chillon. Colazione al buffet ricca e abbondante. Personale cortese e premuroso, ma si lamenta la mancanza di ascensore nonché la scarsa insonorizzazione delle camere (a noi purtroppo è capitato un vicino che russava!). Parcheggio limitato a pochi posti. Possibilità sulla strada con disco orario.

最寄りの電車やトラムを降りてから急坂を登る必要があり、大きなトランクではかなりきつかったです。ホテルの中にもエレベーターはなく、階段で上がる必要があるため、かなり疲れます。ただ、外観や内装がとても可愛くて素敵です。朝食が無料でいただけるのも有り難かったです。シヨン城が徒歩で行けるほど近くにあるので、行かれる方は便利だと思います。サウナが入り口の近くにあり、利用していいのか聞かずに滞在を終えてしまいました。行かれる方がいましたら是非トライしてみてください。

The heat didn’t work in our room but a space heater was provided. Staff were great & very helpful. Breakfast was great and we had ours on the balcony. The hotel is very historic and beautiful. If you’re using public transportation it is very close to hotel. There is a hill to climb, but we were stopping frequently to take beautiful pictures of the views, so it was doable. Would definitely return!

A charming old fashioned hotel. It has a lovely view of the lake from the bar/ dining room and the garden. Welcoming and friendly staff. It’s accessible from the bus stop up a hill. Quite pricey for the standard of room you get. Although the room did have comfortable beds and an adequate en suite. It was a pleasant and comfortable stay. There is a bit of noise at night from hotel guests, I could hear the neighbours gargling their mouth wash! The tv was very dated and the water in the shower was a bit hot and cold. It’s good if you are looking for a charming characterful stay and want to read a book or enjoy the peaceful garden.

The rooms are spacious while being cozy. The beds are comfortable, and the bar/salon is classic and elegant. We found the staff warm and friendly, especially Karine who took such excellent care of us. Dinner was delicious. Only positive things to say about Hôtel Masson!

Perfect location for visiting Chillon Castle. And the hotel itself is full of history, retaining its bel epoque charm. Loved it! Their special 4 course dinner is completely worth it. One warning though... use the bus or taxi to get there. Otherwise you are hoofing it up a super steep hill to reach the hotel.
