Clean, well maintained property, right next to the lake, and close to public transport links. I stayed in a 6 bed dorm, slept well and had a good breakfast. No complaints.
Nothing to complain about. It is a youth hostel, as described. Shared facilities and space. The price in line with Montreux pricing....

Great stay at the Youth Hostel by the lake. Good facilities and nice breakfast. Easy walk to the town. Loved walking by the lake promenade with spectacular views of the mountains and the lake.

There is also no elevator to the second floor, which can be difficult if you have heavy luggage.

The hostel is situated right next by the lake Leman, 15 minutes walking through promenade to Freddie Mercury statue. Very modern design of hostels, clean, with open spaces, great treatment of Lionel makes your stay easy and comfortable.Many bathrooms on each floor, clean and accessible in any hour of the day.
Busy place, next to the railways, you can hear the first train passing, but it's not a big deal. Trains are part of Switzerland.
Beds are okay, sheets clean.
Complete breakfast.Good price value 👍🏼
Noisy common spaces during the weekend of Montreux celebration days in September. Not recommended for late sleepers. As it's a shared room with others, people are up from 6-7am running up and down.
The train can disturb from 05:00 in the morning .
Lockers don't work properly, from 6 lockers in a room work 3, luckily in Switzerland quite nobody steals, but it's a question of luck!

Breakfast was simple but good enough for me. Lake Geneva is right in front of the hostel and the view is absolutely amazing!!! It's one of the best view I've seen in Switzerland.
Location is a bit challenging. Steep road and flight of stairs was truly exhausting. Not suitable for those with many luggage. I had a fire scare while checking in half-way. There were some issues with the solar panels on the rooftop and fire brigade+police all came to the hostel. I almost have to sleep on the street that night! Luckily everything turn out to be alright and resume to normal.

The views, breakfast buffet, friendly staff, paddle boarding, proximity to town and tourist spots, clean and tidy. New and modern feel to the place.
Room was very hot this time of year as it had no a/c there was a fan provided but it didn't reach the upper bunks. The hostel is right by the train line and so it can be disturbing at night, ear plugs recommended.

Nicely located on lakefront. Breakfast very good. Was quiet and general facilities were all good.
Room cramped and hot. Minimal ventilation. Is close to the train line but the trains seem to stop after 11 and only start again at 6.00.

Safe environment, chill place, near the church and tourist attractions.
The location is a bit far from the public transport, so if you have big luggage, be prepared. And it does not have lift too.

I like the location best. The hostel is near the lake Geneva, which is very scenic. We liked the breakfast as well.
The room is tiny. I had a little difficulty to open my luggage. But we just need a nice and clean space to take shower and sleep.

Beautiful location, right on the lake so the views are just stunning
It’s a bit of a walk to get into town, but there is a station just out the back (dose create a bit of noise) but you can easily catch a train to where you want to go. Also there are no mirrors in the place so would recommend bringing a small one with you.

The room is very clean and comfortable. Although the toilet and shower are shared, I appreciate the privacy they offer at the hostel, which makes me feel at ease. The breakfast is good with nice ambience. It has locker FOC for you to use upon check-in or check-out. The hostel is next to the lake with nice view.
If you are arriving by bus and have heavy luggage, please be aware that you will need to carry it down approximately 30 stairs to reach the hostel. Additionally, the lift at the hostel only goes up to the 1st floor, so you will have to carry your luggage from the 1st floor to your designated floor/ room.

I love the Youth hostels in Switzerland. I went to this and the Grindelwald one.
It is great value - breakfast, lockers, entertainment (e.g. foosball, music instrument - each hostel is a bit different)
Lockers are free in this hostel, but the lockers in Grindelwald need to be paid for a low fee of 2 Euro.
If you go with friends or people staying there who are sociable, you can have a game or two of foosball or something! It is really a great environment to hang out and have a good time - if people are sociable or you go with friends haha.
Highly recommend to rent the bike and cycle around Montreux! So beautiful, charming experience.

The hostel itself is great. The room is clean and comfortable. There are plenty of toilets and shower rooms so that we don’t have to wait for a long time to take a shower. The dining room is big and well-equipped.
When we checked in, the staff told us that breakfast would be from 6:30 to 9:30. On the other hand, the information on Booking said that breakfast would start at 7:00. However, when my friends and I came down for breakfast at 6:30 this morning, there is no breakfast or staff on the ground floor. I used the phone on the reception desk to call for help, but the one who answered the phone told me that breakfast starts at 7:30. It really confused me that there were so many different versions of the time for breakfast. Besides, it caused us a lot of trouble because we already booked the train to Interlaken.

It was a great location a 25min walk into the centre of Montreux along Lake Geneva very picturesque. The breakfast had a good range to choose from and well presented.
In my single room there was no blind on the bedroom window to keep the light out.
