Walkable from the bus stop, but take note there's a flight of stairs (I counted about 78 steps) via the shortest route. There's also a luggage friendly slope, but it's a bit of a detour. Nice clean facility. Lights in the toilet and showers work on a timer. (press and countdown type) The shower light went off in the middle of my shower and I was plunged into pitch black darkness because there are no windows in the shower room. Thankfully I remembered roughly where the switch was.. Good standard breakfast, but I believe coffee was chargeable.

Super clean and comfortable. Location is good. You can be in the central area in 10-20 mins. Ping pong right outside the door. Bring your paddles!

好多蒼蠅陪伴。千其唔好用寄存行李櫃，電子密碼鎖自行set密碼，到取行李時密碼鎖壞了開不到，通知reception處理reset,但唔work,又沒有後備鎖匙，最後要腳踢十多次使電子鎖接通電源即時按密碼才能開啟，勿用趕車出機場，勿用

ユースホステルでの支払いは、1 名あたり、1 泊につき、2.00 CHFの市税、 観光税 0.40 CHFと記載されていましたが、5.0CHF請求されました。 私が2.4CHFではないのかと聞くと、それは8年前の料金で、今は5.0CHFだと言われ、5.0CHF支払わされました。なぜ8年前の料金を記載したまま、情報を更新しないのでしょうか？しかも私が悪いかのように責め立てられ、非常に不愉快でした。 また、チェックイン時にMontreux Riviera Cardはもらえず、後で他のスタッフにお願いして、もらいました。

Ich denke, sie sollten etwas am Frühstück verbessern und zwei Personen an der Rezeption für den Check-in haben und nicht nur eine. Aber danach war alles in Ordnung.

Beau séjour!
Super emplacement et tout semble neuf. À quelques minutes de marche du château de Chillon et à deux pas d’un bus direct (5 min) du centre de Montreux. Magnifique vue sur le lac Léman. Petit déjeuner varié. Attention toutefois si vous avez le sommeil léger, le train est très près. Aussi, si vous cherchez un lieu pour faire des rencontres, je ne crois pas que ce soit la place. Si vous voulez la paix, c’est parfait :)

La colo pour les grands ;)
Sejour qui rappel les colonies de vacances. Pas de prise de tete. C'est ultra propre, le personnel serviable et adorable. L'auberge est les pieds dans le lac.. Seul benole le stationnement (mais on trouve solution), le bruit du chemin de fer *moi cela me berce.. apres si vous chercher le calme, silence.. passez votre tours. Je recommande a tous ceux qui veulent retrouver une sorte d'insouscience ;)

Pire hostel
Froid et impersonnel ; à l'étage, la chambre, les couloirs, les salles d'eau ressemblent étrangement à une prison (à la fois dans la "décoration" que dans l'aménagement). Les salles d'eau n'ont ni savon, ni miroir, ni même meuble pour nos affaires ; les toilettes n'avaient pas de lunette. Dans la chambre, très petite pas de drap sur les lits mais une sorte d'alèse rêche, pas de rideau, une prise cassée. Après signalement à la réception, aucun changement ou aménagement ("Ah oui, c'est comme ça"). Petit-déjeuner banal, sans étiquette pour savoir ce qu'on mange. La réceptionniste a été très professionnelle mais aucune solution apportée sur des points qui n'auraient même pas du être des problêmes... Pire hostel visité, trompé par les précédents avis. Il n'est pas question d'un mauvais rapport qualité/prix, il est juste question d'une mauvaise qualité, peu importe son prix.
