Review 82:Nothing .

Review 83:The location is great ,just 5 minutes walk from the train station and just 1 min to the lake . The front desk of this hotel is very helpfulful . Good stay with reasonable price .

Review 84:This hostel dosen't seperate toilet perfectly. I was very surprised when I met a man in front of the toilet!

Review 85:I can see a lake at balcony.It's good when I eat the meal.

Review 86:Had a room with shared bathroom, but no basin in room as in other places we've stayed. No hooks in shower to hang clothes. No spare toilet paper when huge roll is used. No exhaust fan in shower or toilet. The common area, dining room etc, overlooked our room door and toilet, shower rooms which was disconcerting.

Review 87:Superb location. We had a large room on 4th floor overlooking the market square. Could be a great hotel with some care and attention.

Review 88:The locker rooms were too small and it doesn't have a lot of space to put your luggage and your stuff inside.

Review 89:The staff was friendly and she explained to me a lot when I asked something. Near the hostel there are a lot of restaurants and shopping street.

Review 90:Close to the lake and central to everything. We had bicycles so it was a nice easy ride to montreux. Room was excellent value for money considering the prices some places were charging. Had a secure place to store our bicycles.

Review 91:Shared bathroom & toilets should be separate-for male & female, instead of present 1 bathroom (4 showers) and 1 toilet room (4 wc) share by both male & female.

Review 92:5 mins walk from rail station safe location

Review 93:The wall is pretty thin. I heard every noises in the morning. In addition, there is no any washbasin in the room. You have to use in the shared bathroom only.

Review 94:I got 2-bed bedrooms. The room is nice and pretty large. Staff is friendly and helpful. The hotel is not noisy. The location is good, not far from the lake and pier (actually it is just two minute walk) and easy to find (just go straight from the train station to the lake).

Review 95:Good location on the lakeside. Nice lake view from the room. Very good & clean kitchen with everything you need. Situated in the center. Friendly staff. Private parking. Budget-friendly :)

Review 96:The staff did their best to help me navigate the transportation system, but were not at all knowledgeable about outdoor activities such as hiking in the region. I found this surprising given the location, but I suppose I should have come better prepared!

Review 97:Very noisy environment. Our room was on the top floor down the corridor from the communal area and kitchen and I was woken up by someone cooking at 4am. Our room also looked out onto the market place. It was hot and there is no air-con or fan so we had to leave the windows open. Monday morning saw the dismantling of fairground rides, Tuesday the setting up of the market and on all days, workman in a nearby building starting at around 6am. Switzerland is an expensive place and I felt that as a result of the above, the guest house is far too expensive for what is offered.

Review 98:Rooms were clean and comfortable, staff were very friendly and helpful, showering facilities were adequate.

Review 99:the staffs; initially we have been given with a bed and later at the night some one came and woke my mom and asked to move to some other bad. Very bad in organising... and no staffs available after 8.oo pm.. please stay away from this hostel...

Review 100:the location

Review 101:The receptionist is cold. I was arrived there before 12. The woman told me that the room was not clean and could not check in even if just put luggage in. She told me that I could lock them in the train station.Another thing, I am a Chinese and when I paid in cash and signed the receipt, she said that was not my signature. So ridiculous. Can a foreigner figure out the Chinese characters?

Review 102:Location is perfect. It is quite near the lake and the train station. The room is clean and bed is comfortable. Bathroom and shower are good.

Review 103:We spent the night in Vevey the night before heading into the Alpes. It is a lovely town on Lake Geneva and this hotel is a few minutes walk from the trains station and even closer to one of the two docks where it is possible to catch a lake excursion. We had a double room with shared toilet and shower and never had to wait to use either. The internet signal is strong, beds comfortable, towels thick and large, shared kitchen very clean and in good order and there was room in the refrigerator for our groceries. I think the staff does a good job of keeping everything in order and we were met by a friendly person at the reception. Our view of Lake Geneva, the mountains and the town was wonderful. I would definitely return.

Review 104:It's a youth hostel, which was not disclosed, so we had teen-ageboys running up and down the halls making lots of noise. It wasadvertised as a shared bath and shower, but we didn't expect toshare them with 35-40 kids. The staff was friendly and helpful whenthere, but left in early evening. The breakfast was do-it yourself andthey actually asked us to wash our own dishes for 10 Euros! I would notrecommend this to anyone except a teen group.

Review 105:It is located on the main square, but there is no lake-front view asadvertised, because there are 2 large buildings between it and the lake.

Review 106:The hotel does not have air conditioning unit which is fine but the hotel should offer an electric fan to guests if requested. We were having allergy and would like to close the windows but it's getting very hot and unpleasant in the room.

Review 107:- Great location. A few minutes walk from Vevey train station. The hotel is right by Lake Geneva. - The washrooms are clean.

Review 108:The hotel was not very clean, and the non-smoking policy was not enforced, causing the rooms to have lingering odor of stale cigarettes.

Review 109:The staff were very friendly and polite.

Review 110:Some long term guests have made the hostel their home. They are loud and mess up the kitchen facility. The bathroom and toilets tend to become quite unhygienic in the course of the day.

Review 111:Check in process was difficult. We arrived and no one was at reception desk but we found someone who let us leave our luggage until we could check in 3 hours later. Sharing showers with other guests was wierd but this is a youth hostel so that is to be expected

Review 112:Beautiful location. Spacious clean rooms. Friendly staff. Affordable price. Nice big towels. Great view from room of a Beautiful city!

Review 113:This isn't exactly a dislike, just a heads up that the reception desk closes at 20:00 (8:00pm) and doesn't reopen until later in the morning. We needed to leave before the desk was manned and just left our keys. Fortunately we had squared away our finances the previous night.

Review 114:The Vevey Guesthouse & Hotel is a combination hostel/hotel. The WCs & separate showers are very basic. Rooms are spacious and clean and beds are very comfortable. It is located just a few blocks from the train station and is one block from the lakeside, affording beautiful views across the square. Karin is very friendly and most helpful with your travel plans. The hotel was full of travelers from all nations, an interesting eclectic mix, and all were so courteous of others. But note this is a very basic hotel.

Review 115:there is a 5 franc hidden fee. 'for the bed sheets'

Review 116:excellent location. 2 minutes walkiing from Vevey-Marche port. 5 minutes walking from train station

Review 117:The floor of the room needed mopping. Shower floor was wet, probably some tap was leaking.

Review 118:Good location, very beautiful city, short distances to Lavaux, Montreux. We had shower & wc on the corridor, but that was ok, never no queues.

Review 119:Shared toilet and shower. Patchy Internet in the room. Poor sound proof.No chairs in the room. Very uncomfortable common area. Limited hourreceptionist.

Review 120:Clean spacious room. Good location. Affordable price

Review 121:Nothing...everything was great!

Review 122:The location is great! 10 minutes walk from vevey train station. To save money on food, i would recommend travellers to get your food supply from Denner, located in migros? Next to st antoine shopping centre.

Review 123:The floor of the room needed mopping. Shower floor was quite wet sometimes, seems there was a tap leaking somewhere.

Review 124:Location, friendly staff. Although shower and wc on the corridor, no queue.

Review 125:Helpful staff clean linen and comfortable bed. Excellent espresso coffee Really central

Review 126:Nothing

Review 127:Cleanliness. The attentive and helpful staff. The comfortable bed.

Review 128:I do not like noise after midnight
