The best youth hostels Romandy

Here's a pretty youth hostel with warm, shimmering colors that reflect the cheerfulness of the place. Catherine loves her village and, above all, likes to make her guests feel at home. The welcome is friendly and everything is designed to make your vacation a pleasant one. Unique value for money: everyone stays in a dormitory or quadruple room, with a spacious bathroom and fully-equipped kitchen.

This modern hostel is an ideal base for budget-conscious travellers. Several types of rooms: dormitories for 2, 3 or 4 people, single or double rooms. But the City Hostel also offers you, in addition to the rooms, pleasant and friendly communal living spaces, such as the collective kitchen, the dining room, the relaxation area or the terrace. Ideal for families and young people who want to discover culture as their number one objective, rather than focusing on the place to stay. A transportation card is offered.

A very good address and a real hostel (and bargain) for small budgets, provided you book well in advance. If the dormitories welcome men (6 beds) and women (10 beds) separately (separate showers and bathrooms as well), the single and double rooms for long stays are reserved for women (founded in 1874, the establishment belongs to the German Lutheran Church of Geneva and to the Protestant parish). The terrace on the top floor is well worth the climb.

A beautiful youth hostel with a modern flair, ideally situated just 20 metres from a large lawn in front of the lake. The youth hostel is located in the heart of the village of Montreux, just a 30-minute walk from the lake and 2 minutes from the Montreux-Territet train station. The hostel has more than a hundred beds in rooms with 2, 4 or 6 beds. Obstacle-free" rooms are also available for people with reduced mobility. For those who wish, bicycles can be rented to take you to the centre or simply to ride along the quays.
