Review of Hotel Aulac
4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 2 Feb 2020
Great place to stay, friendly helpful staff. Room was clean and comfortable with a wee deck looking over the lake. So close to metro stop and Coop store. Very nice and handy. Continental breakfast was good with boiled egg option and smoked salmon, a little better than average European breakfasts. I would go back. Easy as a single person and handy walks along the lake and for ferry to Evian.
Date of stay: January 2020
Room Tip: View of lake for sure. 309 was nice

I had a great stay of 2 nights at Aulac, room had a beautiful view at lake of Geneva. The Ouchy district is very authentic and beautiful and great for a stroll along the lakeside. Situated next to the metro station, It was also a good location for my business trip, for which I had to travel by metro to outside the city centre.
Room quality is in good balance with the price. I would have appreciated a electrical socket next to my bed, though. Personnel was friendly and spoke English well. The building is old, so the rooms and halls are a bit noisy sometimes. I didn't stay during the weekend, so perhaps this can be an issue if you are not a tight sleeper.

Overlooking the lake and adjacent to the Metro, so perfectly positioned.
We had a family room, which seemed smaller than a double room would normally be. Little space down the side of the main bed and room dominated by the bunk beds. Family room yet just one tumbler and one wine glass! Bathroom tiny with quite the smallest bath I have ever seen. Water pressure fabulous but complete lack of space to hang towels for 4 people.
Staff charming and helpful, providing an extra pillow and tea bags!
We did not eat in the hotel (Snack D’Ouchy next door was perfect for breakfast) so cannot comment on the food.

The hotel is on the waterfront and right near the train and bus stops. We took the train into the main station and then took the M1 all the way to the end to the hotel. It is literally around the corner from there. The hotel gave us complimentary bus passes for both days we were there (just one night). The hallways had a bit of a must smell that bothered me quite a lot but the room was fine. We had requested a waterfront room and we had a large balcony, unfortunately it rained most of the time but we still enjoyed the views of Lake Geneva. I really liked that there was a shutter you could lower for privacy and security that still let air into the room through the door. The room had USB plugs and a fan which was greatly appreciated.

Room tip: waterfront with a balcony

Hotel Aulac is super conventiently right by the lakeside final stop of the metro in Lausanne and also steps away from the Olympic district. The lakeview rooms, many with balconies, offer quite spectacular views. While the general condition of the hotel could use some upgrading, this is easily offset by a mostly great staff, reception and breakfast room staff in particular. Especially when staying longer on business, it is very nice to be greeted by friendly, familiar, smiley faces in the morning and in the evening. The breakfast is a really good spread with lots of options including homebaked cakes, super fresh breads, salmon, eggs and all your usual breakfast items. If in the area in the future, I’d be glad to return to the Hotel Aulac which also comes at a fair value for price, especially given the fact that it’s in Switzerland. Pictures were taken from room 209.
