Montreux Youth Hostel

I don’t understand why this place had such good reviews. There was nothing wrong with the place but it was very satisfactory. The age range was particularly interesting, there were lots of children around the property, yet the average age of my room was over 55. The women were lovely but not what I’d expect of a typical hostel. The facilities were basic, not kitchen & the cleanliness wasn’t terrible but there were little flies in the toilet / shower area. The breakfast did exceed expectations.

Breakfast was really good and very clean, but insanely expensive given that there is no kitchen and they don't give you a towel. I appreciate that Switzerland is expensive but honestly I wish I stayed in an Airbnb, as getting a single room on Airbnb would be about the same price.

Clean, friendly hostel in an incredible lakeside location! It was quite special eating the excellent (and free!) breakfast or having a drink on the terrace overlooking the lake, after a dip. The guest fridge and kettle were appreciated. It’s not in central montreux but it’s better for it. You can walk along the beautiful lakeside to get into town (or get the bus), but it’s much quieter and nicer at Territet. The only downside was that it’s right next to railway and the trains were quite noisy!
