As as Swiss, I never travelled much inside Switzerland. I am usually travel around in Asia, like Japan, Thailand, Taiwan. So I was seriously shocked how low quality the Swiss Hotels are. Besides this I was also in Interlaken, and have to say the hotels are mere Motel standard at a price tag from 300-500$ for 15m² not even clean.
And it's not only this Hotel, many others around I had Lunch or Dinner are in such bad condition
But to the "Art Deco" Montana...
The best part is at the beginning. Reaching the entrance by a Cogwheel Car, is great, the lobby is nice as well and the terrace with lake view is beautiful.
But then, comes the issue, the price changed, the day of the check in was 180$ cheaper for the same room than when I booked it. We didn't get any compensation which i didn't expect i Switzerland anyways, still a bit disappointed. But ok... off to the hotel room. The pictures prepared me to not have too much expectations but, the reality is just so heartbreaking worse.
I stayed in cheap hotels for 80$ in China or Thailand with same standard.
The Dyson Hairdryer didn't save the impression.
We were the first 30 minutes really depressed, sitting on the bed full of regrets going to lucerne.
It's all so cheap made for that price.
Well, we recovered and left the hotel for travel.
But bottom line, the cheapest hotels in Switzerland are barely worse than the range from 400-600$ like the Montana.
If wanna luxury, better opt for those instagram famous Hotels for 1200$ +
Anything else is all the same low standard.
Side Note: In Switzerland 3-4 Stars Hotel Minibar is not free.
