I really enjoyed my stay in this hotel. Very quiet place in a small residential street. Very well kept, good furnishings, comfortable bed, good breakfast in the continental style. About five minutes away - uphill - from the railway station, about 20 minutes - always uphill ! - walk to the old part of the city, with various cafés and... More

Although their website states that rooms have a shower, hairdryer, and wifi, apparently because it doesn't say "free wifi" they feel completely comfortable in charging CHF7.50 per day *PER DEVICE* for wifi access. So much for pre-loading maps on our phones before heading out for the day. This was defended as being reasonable because they have to pay internet bills... More

The hotel is perfectly situated near the rail station and Metro. Free travel passes came in very useful. When we arrived, having booked a triple room, we were delighted to find the third bed in a separate adjoining room. I am allergic to feathers, but the receptionist attended to our needs immediately and supplied replacement allergy free bedding and pillows.... More

Great hotel! Very easy to find from the Lausanne train station and very convenient to the metro stop. It was my first time in Switzerland and I do not speak french, but the receptionists were wonderful and didn't seem to mind speaking english with me!

You just scale a set of stairs from the railway station, and there it is on your right, a perfectly located hotel, close to everything you need to do. Good bed, ok room, courteous reception. Breakfast was fairly basic, but good. If you visit the University, consider having them book the hotel, it could be favorable I will probably use... More

This hotel is conveniently situated by Lausanne's train station but not so close that you hear the trains at night as it is tucked in a little residential road. There are plenty of restaurants and shops in the area. The actual building is a house that has been converted into a hotel making it very charming. I booked a superior... More

For a short 2 night stay in beautiful Lausanne, I can't recommend a better hotel which ticks all the usual boxes - clean, friendly, close to everything, stunning location, good food... for me there were no drawbacks - even when i flicked on the tv i found BBC1, BBC2, ITV etc and as I live in Dubai it was a...

The hotel couldn't be better located: 5 min. from the main station and still very quiet, parking is available for those who arrive by car. The staff is very friendly, free internet access is available on the hotel computer and the wifi charge has been reduced significantly (I don't understand why it isn't free). The breakfast is good and I... More

I was placed into this hotel as an invited guest for EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne). As I was placed into a one-bed room, it literally felt like a smaller option for the price that I knew they were charging EPFL to host myself. That being said, I did read that perhaps the l'hotel lausanne in Flon is a... More

We decided on a weekend away by the lake and found a great deal for this place on the Lausanne tourism website (280.- for two nights, including breakfast - the sign inside the wardrobe said it should have been 355.- a night so we were very pleased!). From the intial enquiry emails to the stay itself the customer service was... More
