The room is small with washbasin inside. From the window room you can see the beautiful Geneva lake. Shared bathroom and WC is clean. To reach the Montreux Youth Hostel or Auberge de Jeunesse Montreux, from Mountreux train station walk 2 minutes to Escaller de la Gare, take 201 bus toward Rennas Village and stop at Territet L'Eudine. Then walk 5-10 minutes to the hotel. There is a lift upto 1st floor, after that you need to use the stairs. It will be a problem if you have a big luggage. To reach Chillon, you can take 201 bus toward Rennas Village and stop at Chillon. Free breakfast: ham, salami, cheese, cereal, milk, chocolate, bread, juice, egg, fruit, coffee

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

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!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.
