The location or the views won't carry you away, however this humble hotel is conveniently situated in the heart of Vevey and delivers what it promises. Service is impeccable, breakfast is fair and dinner is good Mövenpick-grade. Convenient parking available. Deluxe room offers spacious bathroom -can't speak for the others.

The hotel is located in front of the train station, very close to shops and restaurants. Service is ok, room ok, fitness center too small, restaurant ok, Orient Express bar good.

Just a few steps from the train station, this is a quaint if somewhat outdated hotel whose rooms could use a bit of a facelift. What is nice is the outdoor terrace at the front of the hotel; a great place to people watch and enjoy a drink or a coffee. Like most European hotels beware of the Internet costs,... More

The Astra Hotel is very centrally located in Vevey (between the train station and the lake and the city centre). I dont think that the hotel cost matches the offerings. The rooms are clean but very outdated. The breakfast buffet was adequate with an offering of cheeses, yoghurts, breads and cold meats. Room service charges and the cost of the... More

I have stayed at the Astra Hotel many times in the past ten years. It is a reliably comfortable hotel, ideally situated right next to the main railway station and in easy walking distance of the village and the lake. Many of the customers are business visitors to the Nestle head office so you are likely to hear many languages... More

The service is great and while the room could do with some 'updating', it was clean and quiet. Breakfast is pretty good but they could occasionally change things around a bit to keep longer-term visitors interested. A big positive aspect of this hotel is the Wellness Center with gym, outdoor jacuuzzi and three types of sauna/steam rooms. Recommended especially for... More

Astra hotel is rated ****S. I would rather give a ****--! The hotel has all the amenities that a 4 star should have, but the sleep quality was really poor. The spring mattresses were unconfortable. Heating pipes are exposed, which mean that you hear the (loud) flux of water running through during night. Service was up to standard as the... More

The service (Front Desk and room service from the adjoining restaurant) at this property is one of the best I've found. Front Desk charged my mobile and offered area to freshen up due to my morning arrival before room was ready, and general professional nature about them and patience with all my inquiries. Location is across the street from train... More

Hotel is across the street in one direction from the Vevey train station, and across the street in another direction from the #1 public bus that can take you to all the towns along the "Montreux Riviera." Your hotel can even provide a pass to make the bus free of charge. The lakefront restaurants, ferry landing, and shopping areas are... More
