    Stunning location and wonderful restaurant. Above the noise and rush of Montreux. It is a heaven!

    It would have been nice to see the local train schedule in advance of arrival so we could have planned our day better, but everything worked out and I would choose this location again in a heartbeat.

    WOW! The view over Montreux was absolutely breath taking. The location away from the city but with an easy train ride down the mountain into Montreux made this a very special place. The restaurant was outstanding. Many local favorites were on the menu and the staff were excellent.

    We love the Coucou Hotel - our 3rd visit. Fabulous staff, knock-out view over Lac Léman/Geneva, peaceful, excellent buffet breakfast until 10.30. Delicious dinner. Funicular railway down to Montreux and up to mountain top - spectacular and useful. Car useful for late night returns from the Jazz Festival on week days when the last train back is at 23.30, otherwise it's a taxi! :-)

    The views, friendly staff and spacious grounds

    Really cute bnb style hotel. I had the room with shared bathrooms which worked well. The hotel has a beautiful view, fantastic yard for lounging, lovely dining area and very friendly staff. It took 30 minutes with the scenic train to get to the hotel so allow yourself some time. The views you have will make the whole trip worthwhile!! Breakfast was included. Many hikes can begin from this location. Highly recommend this hotel!

    A quaint hotel with a really good restaurant.

    Parts of the hotel were scuffed and our room was not serviced on our first night (of a two night stay). Apparently the “please service my room” card has to be left outside the door, servicing the room is not the default. However, there was no card in our room to hang! Resolved when we returned in the evening by asking for two fresh towels, but this required the maitre d’ to leave the restaurant and sort it out - which he did do in a friendly way, with an apology for the inconvenience. So resolution was good, but initial issue frustrating.

    The location of Le Coucou is great, albeit one has to travel down to Montreux by train (or car) to access anything. The views are wonderful, and the immediate area is very quiet. The restaurant was very good, with a good selection of food, including “Swiss specialities”.

    Undercooked chicken
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple

    • Submitted via mobile

    Firstly, during dinner, my partner ordered a chicken dish which unfortunately was served undercooked. Initially, the waiter offered a deduction from the bill, but the item still appeared on the final invoice. Moreover, no alternative meal or other form of compensation was offered, leaving my partner without a proper dinner while I was served mine. This was disappointing and not what one would expect from a restaurant of this caliber. Secondly, the staff appeared consistently overwhelmed. As hotel guests, we experienced significant delays with check-in, check-out, and even basic inquiries, as restaurant service was clearly prioritized over front desk assistance. Lastly, we were not informed at check-in that the Riviera Pass was included in our stay and allowed for free public transport. We only discovered this via a note at the reception desk during check-out—by which time we had already paid unnecessarily for train tickets. We appreciate the efforts of the staff under what seems to be a high-pressure environment, but we believe these areas could benefit from improvement to ensure a more seamless and satisfying guest experience.

    The shared bathroom, because there are (too) many rooms using only one bathroom. However there are also rooms available with integrated bathroom (unfortunately not available during our stay)

    Amazing Restaurant & View!! Also the employees are really friendly, we'd definitely stay there again
