The convenient, waterfront location turns a rather average hotel into a good one. Minutes to central Lausanne via the Metro. Rooms are OK, our bathroom was new, but the carpeting in the room and corridor needs to be replaced. The lake view in the room we were given was obstructed by scaffolding (this only affects a few rooms and the... More

I guess this hotel's biggest asset is the location. Having a room with a lake view (such the one I had) is nice, and makes everything else look better. Not that there was nothing wrong with the rest, the room was nice if somewhat nondescript, and the service was OK. Reasonable breakfast buffet, again nothing exciting. On the other hand,... More

I have stayed at this property many times while travelling for business. There are not many what I would call fantastic hotels in the Lausanne area that do not cost a fortune, so Movenpick is where I usually stay. Rooms to me are a bit old and the amenities are average. The location is great as you are right on... More

nice location and helpful staff and good breakfast-free with certain rates.

We booked this hotel months in advance. We contacted them a week before we arrived. So why didn't they mention that the hotel was wrapped in scaffolding for building works? And that the 'lake view' (that's why you stay there) was obscured by scaffolding. I asked at check in and they said it would be fine but when we got... More

My husband and I spent two nights at the Movenpick Lausanne with our two young children. Overall, I was very satisfied with the hotel, but some poor service towards the end our visit tainted my experience a bit. The hotel is in a great location in Ouchy, on the water with great views and access to the amazing lake Geneva.... More

The hotel is beautifully located right at the lake (mind you, there is a road with quite some traffic between the hotel and the lake side - however, you don’t hear much of it in the rooms). You can reach it easily by what the locals call ‘Metro’. It’s just a few stops from the train station in Lausanne. You... More

I stayed 5 nights there in March 2012. Nice room, with good bathroom and superior bed. Good breakfast, but same for whole week. Service ok, but slow in the bar. Prices are Swiss! The lake is only 50 metres away.

Having lived in Lausanne for several years recently, we know the area well and chose this property based on price and location. We booked 3 nights, months in advance and were able to find a good price. When we wanted to add on a couple of extra nights much closer to the date, the hotel was completely booked (due to... More
