“Le Coucou, perched above Montreux, feels wonderfully remote; the cogwheel train access is a journey in itself. The restaurant, focused on local flavors and wines, shines - especially after a day on the nearby Rochers de Naye slopes. It strikes me as a superior kind of basecamp, with views that truly elevate the experience.”

mixed feelings at this hotel

acceptable locationsmall room
the location was acceptable with views of the surrounding landscape..
my room was quite small, and there wasn't a chair or a table to be found, not even a spot for them either. most of my stuff stayed in the car since there was no space to put anything. it was inconvenient and detracted from the overall experience.
