This hostel feels very clean and safe. The staff was very nice and helpful and breakfast included is a plus!
I would say that this is pretty over priced for a hostel dormitory but it seems to be the only reputable option in the area.
Overall would recommend!

Very good breakfast, great service, only wish there was a fan and I did not have to carry my luggage up and down 3 floors.

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.

The property is modern and clean. The rooms are amazing with locker facility.
The breakfast was great too!
The only disappointment was there were no lifts and I had to drag my bags two floors up

Tudo muito bem organizado, uma opção ótima para Montreux. Fiquei em um quarto feminino compartilhado e foi como se estivesse sozinha. Só as dobradiças da porta que precisam de lubrificação para não fazer barulho na abertura, do restante nada a levar em consideração.

Razoável não voltaria
Para se chegar no hostel você deve descer uma escadaria assustador de tão longo. O check in r check out eles são extremamente rígidos. Só te atendem dentro do horário estipulado. O quarto é pequeno, fica apertado para acomodar 6 pessoas. Não tem ventilador e nem ar condicionado. Dormir com janela aberta foi muito complicado pois o trem passa literalmente na frente das janelas, todos de frente para o trilho e que este funciona das 4h da manhã até 24h. Não tem elevador. Para subir até o terceiro andar com mala foi bem complicado. Café da manhã simples. Este hostel fica bem afastado do centro e principais pontos turísticos. A lanchonete mais próxima fica a 2km. Único ponto positivo, a atendente Diana é atenciosa.
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 ;)
