I am sure it would be a fine jouthhostel in general. However, the rooms are in summer just TOOOOOO hot. It is simply unbearable when temperatures rise outside to 30 degrees. The windows are extremely small and close to the roof which is about 3,5 meters high. No chance to moove the hot air out of the room. Just sweat!... More

This place has the charm of a prison, and beds to match. Our room had not been cleaned from the prior guests and there was rotting food in the closets. It has a serious institutional vibe with metal frame beds and concrete floors, walls, ceiling. We have stayed in many other hostels and this one was by far the worst.... More

I think if you are travelling with someone it's best to avoid hostels - it's simply cheaper to stay in a hotel.

I stayed at Lausanne Youth Hostel for two weeks, while attending a conference at a local university. The university granted my colleagues and me a discounted rate of 30 Swiss Francs per night, which was an excellent deal compared to hotel options in Lausanne.

The hostel was conveniently located about 5 minutes bus ride from the city center (Ouchy) and about 15 minutes from Lausanne... More

I am a Swiss resident so maybe my opinion is based on the consistent quality that you find here, but we were disappointed with this hostel. I was travelling with my boys by bike and had stayed several nights at other official Swiss Youth hostels on the way. All were better and cheaper than the this one. As an example,... More

This was my second stay at Hotel Jeunotel. I originally came back because I knew the cost was as cheap as you could find in Switzerland and I felt safe staying there. The staff was extremely helpful, nice and spoke at least 4 languages which is especially nice. We stayed here during the month of August during the large Volley... More

We stayed at the Jeunotel In June 2004 for 6 days. The rooms contain very basic facilities: the floors are concrete; the small bathroom contains a toilet, basin and shower; there is a small room containing a fridge, sink and shelf; there is a low built in shelf behind the beds. The room is quite spacious in comparison to other... More
