I spent three nights in a fourth floor room with balcony and lake view. The room was quite comfortable, with marvelous lake breezes from the large window on the east side and the slider door on the south. The balcony was spacious, with a table and chairs. The bed was comfortable, and there were plenty of electrical outlets, a nice side chair, minibar frig, plenty of storage and a security safe. The bathroom is small and dated, but perfectly fine and spotlessly clean.

The desk staff was always friendly and helpful, as was the dining room staff at breakfast. And with pastries, breads, fruit, boiled eggs, meats, cheese, juice, cereal, etc., it was easy to get a filling breakfast which carried me through my day.

The location is superb: five minutes from the train station and metro line. Yes, it's uphill from the station, but not very far. Besides, everything is uphill in Lausanne. The position near the train station is convenient not only for transportation, but for take-away food options for a decent and reasonably-priced meal at the end of the day.

I enjoyed this hotel, and give it a strong recommendation. I would certainly stay there again.

Worth the one block steep hill lugging your suitcase from the train station. With no luggage you can easily use the steps up and down. Although we didn't have a view of the lake, we did have a balcony where we had the evening sun with a table and 2 chairs. Breakfast was very good. Croissants and chocolate croissants fantastic. Breakfast room a bit tight when full. Staff located behind closed kitchen door very loud when speaking to one another on more than one occasion. Had a challenging relationship with the shower head.

Leoneck could not be easier to get to from the airport. The # 10 tram stops directly outside the hotel. From the hotel it is easy to walk to the Old Town (take a tram back, stop is Heldegg). The rooms are clean, the breakfast has more than the average # of choices, and the restaurant meals at dinner are good and reasonably priced. The staff are pleased to help. After leaving I discovered a billing over charge; Cedric the manager acknowledged it and fixed it immediately. This is a good hotel with a better than average price/value ratio run by people who do a good job for you.
