Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Du Grand Lac Excelsior enjoys a phenomenal location directly on Lake Geneva, offering guests breathtaking views, especially from rooms with balconies. Many find the rooms spacious and comfortable, some even featuring garden access. A highlight for many is the indoor swimming pool, and the breakfast, served with a lake view, is generally considered abundant, although a few guests have found the food selection could be improved. The hotel's proximity to the town center and the walking path to Chillon Castle also makes it a convenient base for exploring Montreux.
