J'ai payé 100 euros la nuit pour une chambre privative. Elle se situait sur le pallier de l'étage et donc sujette aux nombreux bruits de la cage d'escalier. La propreté laissait à désirer. Le personnel n'était pas du tout à l'écoute. On m'a interdit l'accès au réfectoire alors que ça faisait seulement 4 minutes qu'il était fermé et que juste avant j'étais venue faire le check-in qui n'avait pas pu être fait la veille à cause d'un problème dans le garage (dont je n'étais pas à ...

Translated to English

I paid 100 euros a night for a private room. It was on the ledge of the floor and therefore subject to the many noises of the stairwell. The cleanliness was desirable. The staff was not at all listening. I was denied access to the dining room even though it had only been closed for 4 minutes and just before I had come to check in which had not been done the day before due to a problem in the garage (which I was not originally responsible for)...

clean place and good staff. nice location right in lake geneva. only privates available as far as I can tell which was a bit expensive. when i was there it was full of loud school groups whos noise echoed through the whole building during the day. included breakfast had good variety. no social scene/events really. and no kitchen available to guests

Het is heel ongezellig beton, kil en koud. Gevangenis sfeer daardoor. In de slaapkamer iets beter door de bedden en gordijnen. Hostel kan meer kleur en warmte uitstralen als het beter ingericht wordt.

Translated to English

It is very uncluttered concrete, cold and cold. prison atmosphere through it. in the bedroom a little better through the beds and curtains. hostel can radiate more color and warmth if it is better furnished.

Excellent Auberge de Jeunesse pour passer la nuit avant de prendre le TGV et après une semaine de randonnée en montagne. Petite suggestion : préciser au moment de la réservation qu'on obtient un pas transport public ; j'aurais pu acheter un ticket de train à partir de Vevey au lieu de Tertinet.

Translated to English

Excellent Auberge de Jeunesse to stay overnight before taking the TGV and after a week of hiking in the mountains. a small suggestion: specify at the time of booking that you get a pass public transport; I could have bought a train ticket from Vevey instead of Tertinet.

The only reason I put less than 100% for security is that there was a lot of the day when the front desk is not staffed and the front door is open. But I come from a big metropolitan city where you would never do that. I understand in Montreux it's not the same so I wasn't worried at all, really. I just thought it was strange to just let anyone walk in with no staff there. Everything else was wonderful.

Was pleasantly surprised by this hostel. Considering the location, top notch facilities and free breakfast on offer, it was worth the money for a short stay in Montreux. Would totally recommend.

A bit expensive but that's just Switzerland I guess lol. Such a lovely hostel, kind staff, breakfast included which was great!! My room had a nice view of the lake and mountains and it's basically right on the lake which was convenient and easy to get to. The whole place was also very clean! No curtains on the beds but that's not a big deal. I felt very safe in Montreux. Would def recommend this little place :)

Beautiful location, right outside the promenade. Very clean and organized. Locker space was also very spacious. Only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because the title of the listing is misleading. It's definitely not a youth hostel.

Spotless and the location couldn’t be better, right on top of lake Geneva. Be mindful that in this hostel you will only find Swiss plugs, not standard EU ones. I was completely caught off guard and when I realised (10pm), there was no front desk staff, just a written note and phone number saying to call only for emergencies, which listed ‘ forgotten phone charger’ as not being an emergency. Thankfully I had a spare battery I could use but this made my onward journey much more stressful

The hostel is right in front of the lake which is wonderful. The staff was helpful and the amenities were all modern and new. There isn’t a backpacker vibe but I didn’t mind that at all as I’d read that in other reviews so knew what I was getting. The only thing I didn’t like was putting on and taking off my bedsheets. The price is quite steep for that I think.

Freundliche Mitarbeiter. Falls jemand hinsichtlich der Bahngeräusche von vorbeifahren Zügen ist, Ohropads sind an der Rezeption erhältlich. Mich haben sie nicht sonderlich gestört.

Fast fast straight am Genfer See. Only one railway line is in between. Through the Underpass, however, one can go directly down to the seafront. Modern Hostel everything in allem.tiptop. Freundliche Mitarbeiter. If somebody is concerned about the train station by passing by Zügen, Ohropads are available at the reception. They have not particularly bothered me. Walking England of the Uferpromenade is very worthwhile. One can walk to the Châteaux de Chillon in half an hour.

Besides, the receptionist (polyglot) did her job wonderfully, helpful, smiling and ready to help, she made my trip all the more enjoyable :) I have 2 recommendations however, the first one is about the kitchen and access to the stoves/pots and plates.
