Le Coucou Hotel Restaurant & Lounge-Bar

This Hotel is a sort of superior Backpacker hostel with a very good restaurant. Half the rooms have a shared bathroom, half have own bathroom. Our (own bathroom) room was a bit shabby, not renovated. The outstanding feature is the location in small hamlet of chalets 1000m above Montreux with fabulous views onto lake Geneva from the extensive outside terrace. It was very quiet at night (in Autumn) The restaurant is excellent with a cosy chalet ambience and well attended though offers only a restricted menu (mainly fondues). The staff are all young and friendly. Access best by cogwheel train from Montreux which stops outside and a must do is to travel further up by train to Rochers-de Naye at 2000m with breathtaking panoramic views. Visitors are given a free travel card for duration of visit).

Felt like we were rolling back a century as we arrived on the little train with dramatic views to the lake. The hotel rooms are small and basic. The food and service are excellent, authentic and just right for this little perch. Great for one night, take the train to the top the next morning then stop back for lunch on the terrace and pickup your luggage before heading back down the mountain to Montreux.

We have stayed there a couple of time. The view and atmosphere is unique. Rooms are relatively basic. Restaurant is a bit expensive but very good.

Wonderful place in the mountains above Montreux with glorious views up to the mountains and down to lake Geneva. In summer you can sit outside enjoying the views, in colder weather you can tuck up by the huge fireplace. Very peaceful. It is located moments from the railway to bring you into Montreux. The fondue is excellent too. The only improvement would be a residents lounge to relax in.

Excellent hotel, incredible restaurant in a very unique location. I recommend highly!

We had an amazing stay. We ate at the restaurant in the evening, service was perfect and the food delicious. View from the room and form the restaurant is unique! Wonderful place!

This is a lovely place to stay in the mountains. It offers so much - like easy access to transportation with the train, beautiful hiking trails nearby and incredible service. The staff worked hard to make us feel comfortable and welcome.
