Astra Hotel Vevey

“Location, location, location”

The hotel is directly in front of the train station, so it is ideal for those without a car. The visitor card gives free access to good local public transport services. Our room was of good size and comfortable. We were happy with the hotel food, and the prices not out of line with Switzerland

“Very good location by the station”

Given its excellent location across the road from Vevey railway station, this hotel has a very ‘passing through’ feel to it as it appears to mainly cater for a business/commercial clientele.

Given its excellent location across the road from Vevey railway station, this hotel has a very ‘passing through’ feel to it as it appears to mainly cater for a business/commercial clientele. The rooms vary greatly in shape and size from floor to floor. Our room was spacious but rather soulless and felt more like an office. It was also rather dark and not helped by the current trend of not having a main room light but relying instead on ‘mood’ lighting around the room. The bed was large and comfortable.The bathroom was also spacious and we had both a bath and (good) shower room. There was a modern safe and tea making items as well as an expresso machine. WiFi could be a little erratic in the mornings. A tick to the hotel for providing two key cards without us asking for the second one. We were in an inside room so not disturbed by station or traffic noise. There is a noisy extractor fan located on the roof on the first floor but that only operates during working hours and nights were quiet. The breakfast offers a good choice of hot and cold food with double expressos on request. In the evening, the restaurant offers a good selection of local and international dishes and is obviously popular locally as it can fill up very early with groups as well as couples. The top floor bar wasn’t open during our stay but the ground floor bar is fine for a relaxing drink. Vevey is a busy but charming town set on Lake Geneva and served by the excellent train service. The station and this hotel are in the heart of the town. A good place to stay if working or on vacation in this wonderful region.

I stayed in this hotel with the group for 3 nights. Location of this hotel is great, it's near the train station, and some establishments are just a few blocks away like supermarket and some restaurants and coffee shop like Starbucks. Lake Geneva is just a few steps away and you will also see the statue of Charlie Chaplin and the Big fork. Breakfast was great, with good quality cheeses and bread. Staff are accomodating, very respectful and hospitable. But one thing i can criticize is the room. Since this is a 4 star hotel, my expectation is very high since i have to different hotels across the world. I stayed in a very small room and very outdated. Shower room is so tight and i can't barely move during shower. Toiletries are cheap. I hope they can improve on this and be at par with the international standard
