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.

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.

ユースホステルでの支払いは、1 名あたり、1 泊につき、2.00 CHFの市税、 観光税 0.40 CHFと記載されていましたが、5.0CHF請求されました。 私が2.4CHFではないのかと聞くと、それは8年前の料金で、今は5.0CHFだと言われ、5.0CHF支払わされました。なぜ8年前の料金を記載したまま、情報を更新しないのでしょうか？しかも私が悪いかのように責め立てられ、非常に不愉快でした。 また、チェックイン時にMontreux Riviera Cardはもらえず、後で他のスタッフにお願いして、もらいました。

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 :)
