I booked a balcony room so was on the fifth floor. Be aware that some rooms on this floor are not step free and some do not face the lake. Pros, Convenient for buses and trains, local supermarkets, there's a larger Coop five minutes walk away. The mattress was comfy and the design of the room and bathroom well thought out. Cons, Thin pillows Confusing lighting system Ineffective air con Although cups, glasses, a fridge, microwave, kettle and coffee machine are provided, there's no other cutlery or plates etc to prepare and eat meals in the 'apartment' you have to either use the shared kitchen in the basement (not convenient or appealing to some, myself included) or have bring own/manage with disposables purchased elsewhere. Also, the crossroads near the apartment appears to be a hang out for dealing (if you've seen The Wire, sitting on the balcony was like a season one stakeout) so walking around on your own and or late at night could feel a bit risky, especially as you must use your own key code to enter the building after 6pm and there's nobody on reception at night and weekends. This is not the fault of the building but something to be aware of. I did ask about the Montreux Riviera Card before check in and was told it would be in my room upon arrival, it wasn't but a quick email and it was ready for collection in the morning. That said, had it been the weekend I would have been upset to not have it for use during the whole of my stay. Overall the staff I interacted with were helpful and the help email team were responsive. However, I am not sure I would choose to stay here again as I was looking for a fully functioning kitchenette and a greater presence from staff.

Amazing location, 5 foot steps to main station Vevey, 5-min walking from genevey lake and famouse Vevey fork.
I stayed here severaltimes already and always like the ambience. It has enough that we need: a fridge, microwave, a small cute bathroom; a common kitchen and laundry area which is free. The 3rd time I brought my parents there for us to join my graduation ceremony. We were assigned a small cute room. Furniture inside the room were old, walls were moldy a bit.
When we ask a female staff where can we park our rental car, she was very hesitate and kept saying "No, I am sorry we can't find any places", "No places is available" and shakes her head constantly. I also ask is there any further place to park and she still said no no. It's like she was not even try. Then we found a place for us to park overnight which is in front of the station and it is free of charge. We were quite confused and unsatisfied.
Still it is a nice place to stay

Convenience of self check in. A huge shared kitchen super equipped for guests. The room is very spacious and well furnished in a modern style. Proximity to the station, shopping center and promenade along the lake.
If you come by car it will be a nightmare because the covered car parks in the surrounding area are very expensive and have prohibitive opening hours. Below the hotel, being in the station area, it is unfortunately full of unsavory types, be careful and don't get too familiar.

First of all, the cancellation conditions are scandalous, they wait until I have paid for the reservation to tell me that parking is not available. The accommodation is in an area where drug addicts and drug dealers are kings, I don't understand this location They offer a small kitchen, but there is no knife, so it is of no use The air conditioning doesn't work, it was crazy hot To top it all off, as there is no one there, it is impossible to make a complaint. If I can prevent other customers from being fooled, I will not hesitate to talk about it to those around me

If digital check-in is to be made, this must be stated at the time of booking. and the code of the outer door must be sent by e-mail. Put the phone under the rain in front of the outer door; I was able to get in after a long process, including my reservation number and my passport number.

This is an exceptionally impersonal hotel. It’s very conveniently located next to the train station, but that’s about it. It’s expensive for that little convenience. The room is small and there was only a microwave to warm the food. Not even a sink to wash anything in. The room was not much bigger than the bed.

I often travel to Vevey, and have always stayed in Hotel Astra, which is amazing hotel, but sometimes overpriced. This time, my friends and I booked four rooms at Vision Apartments, which is just across the road... but we really wish we hadn't.
In the lobby, and the upper floors, everything was fine. But as soon as you I opened the door to go to the lower floor (where my "Deluxe room", VCU001, was located), I started noticing a smell. In the corridors, which were perfectly clean, it got worse. And in my room it was even worse. It's like a mixture of mould, and cigarette smoke. When I got home, I had to wash all of my clothes, even the clean ones, as they all smelt so bad from the room.
Just to add to my misery, one of my neighbours had a shower at 5am on the Saturday morning, and it sounded like my room was in a washing machine. I was genuinely Googling for nearby hotels at 5.20am. The apartment block is right next to the train station, so despite incredibly thick windows, you might be woken up by the noise and vibrations every few minutes (particularly if you're on the lower-ground floor).
The air conditioning was useless. It had three buttons which did nothing but vary the amount of noise, without ever making the room cooler, even on the coldest setting.
The room itself is quite nice (if you don't breathe in). It's modern, has a fairly small but comfortable bed, and the bathroom is genuinely beautiful. You have a fridge, microwave, a collection of glasses and a coffee machine. There is a Coop Pronto at the train station, which is two minutes away.
The confirmation email from the hotel says you can request a free "Montreux Riviera Card", but as reception is closed during the weekend, you need to request this in advance if you're arriving after 6pm on Friday. Two of our group of four DID request this... but they didn't receive a card. And as they arrived at 6.15pm on Friday, there was no way for them to get one. (Sigh.)
And as other guests have mentioned, there's no room key or card. You always need to enter the building and into your room using a 6-digit code. Personally, I miss having a key, and there's no safe in the room to lock away valuables. And you'd often get people outside, waiting for you to enter your code to enter the building, then following you into the building. With absolutely no staff working throughout the weekend, was it meant to be up to the clients to stop this happening ?
There is also a Spa, which, according to the sign, was completely closed due to COVID. This felt like an excuse... the spa area in Hotel Astra, next door, has been opened for weeks, with restrictions on the number of people using it at once.
Update: the reception is completely closed during the weekend, but I received an email apologising for the smell, and they said they'd "inform our cleaning department about this issue". Errr, no. The apartment and corridors were immaculately clean... but they stank. It hits you as soon as you leave the ground floor and head downstairs. And in my room, it got even worse. And no, they had no other rooms I could move to.
Honestly, my friends (whose rooms weren't on the lower-ground floor) were perfectly happy with their rooms. The best tip I can give you, when you receive your confirmation email, showing your 6-digit entry code, if the "Deluxe Room" number is VCU001, VCU002, VCU003 or VCU004, politely decline, and demand another one. Or go elsewhere.

Has no facilities. Every night building works started 0230 for 3 hours making sleep impossible. Beds uncomfortable with thin pillows and no humans there to ask for anything after 1800. Our female colleague’s door code didn’t work and she ended up in the rain on the front step at 2300 unable to get in. No parking. No nothing. No point going.

I found this hotel very conveniently located closed to railway station. Full furnished cosy studio, modern and stylish. Nothing negative, however an evacuation alarm started at 23.30 . Nothing really was occurred no clues for the evacuation. Only remark the following morning the lifts were still out of order and I had to bring my luggage from the 3 floor to the exit. Probably if someone were there it would not happen. In the overall good experience.

The room was small but very clean and with a comfy bathroom. Pity to receive a room with workers walking outside our window (and it was not on the the groundfloor). The last morning there was no hot water in the bathroom. In general, the price was ok for what we received. Lovely hotel bar and restaurant.
