Great location! Close to the old town. Comfortable beds. They even brought up extra pillows when requested.
3.9
No air conditioning, just a broken fan. Not adapted for a summer stay. Staff at check in unfriendly and incompetent.
3.9
Very, very small room and bathroom with outdated style bed.
No airconditoner.
When you open the window for some air during summer, you hear loud people down below singing and talking until 3 am from a Cafe/ restaurant across.
Then by 9 am was the loud ringing of the church bell every 15 minutes for few hours.
Parking is about 3-4 blocks away if you have a car.
Hotel lobby is very tiny.
Location is just few steps from McDonald’s.

Loved the balcony view as we got our room on the 5th floor. Amenities and staff were great. Hotel was pretty cool and location to transportation was perfect. Would recommend!
3.9
Good location in student quarter. Nice and helpful staff
3.9
walking distance from the metro station, which is great as it was raining all the week. the coffee salon is open all day which is great if you don't feel like working from your room.
3.9
Central location was good. Car parking available means there is à public car park nearby.
Taking a shower was an experience, one of those shower curtains that attacks you as soon as you get in. Water everywhere that I had to soak up with towels.
3.9
It’s nice located hotel with interior 1980’s look. I was on fifth floor, need to wait for hot water at least 5 minutes. First day I didn’t know so came out without shower. It’s not for what I have paid.

Excellent séjour dans un hotel au centre-ville. Chambre propre, salle de petit-dejeuner charmante avec magnifique vue sur Lausanne. Une deuxième fois avec plaisir !
3.9
It was a good stay. It matched what we were paid for. Nothing spectacular but sufficient for us. The staff was nice.
3.9
Great location. Very limited check in times was an issue. The big problem was that the heat radiator in the bathroom was on full heat, with no way to shut it off and no front desk help at all. It made the stay very uncomfortable even with the window open.
3.9
Clean and friendly place, located near the Cathedral. Access is on a pedestrian street which makes car access a little cumbersome. Parking is off site but easy access.
3.9
Surprisingly good breakfast, price quality ratio to swizerland is good. Nearby parking cost 20chf and the location is great
3.9
This hotel is located in the right center area of Lausanne city. Every thing is near within 10 minutes walking. Easy to use the well organised Lausanne public transportations.
Rooms are clean and the staffs are super friendly. You would have also a great city view on the top floor where you have breakfast. Definate recommendation for travellers looking for rooms with affordable price but much of satisfaction!
3.9
We stayed here in an amazing room on the top floor with a huge balcony overlooking the city facing towards the lake! Beautiful view, spacious room (although they also have smaller rooms), good parking offered just around the corner, great and friendly service. Location is also great. Would stay here again

Excellent location
Very friendly staff
Negative : no way to adjust temperature in the room, even turning down the heater, definitely too hot in the room for a confortable night

I love that you can make your own orange juice with fresh oranges. Apart from that, it is a basic hotel, for sure not a first pick, but still acceptable.

ecent hotel in the heart of old Lausanne. Room was cramped for 3 people. Everything worked as it was supposed to work. Breakfast was decent. Rooftop Terrace where breakfast is served with excellent views.

The waitress for the breakfast was so kind anc amazing. The shower om my room was so inconvenient no nice to kake a shower and the curtain inconvenient
3.9
Incredibly comfortable bed! Very small rooms-mine w/twin. Spacious balcony. 5 min walk to parking/dining/shopping. Most delicious, fresh & varietal breakfast buffet INCLUDED! incredible value if you don’t mind tiny dorm-like rooms.

Pro: central location, quiet
Against: dingy dark dated small poor facilities
3.9
The location was central and just a 2 minute walk to the metro station and only a 12 minute walk to the Lausanne Gare (train station). Within walking distance to a couple of good halal eateries. Very easy to get to from Geneva airport. The breakfast buffet was excellent with a lot of variety and and the cherry on top was that you could eat in the balcony with nice views of the city. The free bus/metro pass to get around the city was a big plus. The room was spacious and comfortable and the staff very polite and hospitable. The washroom was a fair size too though the shower was a bit too small for my liking. Will definitely stay again next time I visit.

Great location. Two minutes from riponne metro. Two stops from train station. Great staff.

The hotel is nice, situated close to the Cathedral. It has some steps (around 15) to reach, but inside the hotel the reception is fine, the elevator is large and the staff is very helpful, indeed.
The breakfast was excellent, special thanks for the machine to make fresh pressed orange juice ;-)
3.9
I have stayed before and I chose it because of location. It is a bit outdated and should. have a renovation. The view from the brakfast area is great. The breakfast had everything I needed and more. So many marmalades, chocolate spreads, cheeses, bread. Great breakfast
3.9
Don't expect too much. Rooms are plain and a little cramped, but it's clean and the fixtures are fairly modern. The staff I thought was excellent. Super quick, easy, check-in. She gave me the wifi passwords and a public transport ticket without me having to ask. Breakfast is nice and always included.

This is a very good hotel. It is perfectly located in the centre of town, as it is very close to all forms of public transport, landmarks, restaurants, bars, and high street shops! Breakfast is served on the 5th floor, and you can sit out on the balcony and enjoy the view!

I booked this hotel online on 1 Jun aroung midnight for a 2 night stay of 14-16 Jun, 2016 for an amount of Rs. 45,092 as on the expedia booking confirmation. I chose a higher rate for pay at Hotel with a free cancellation. On 2 Jun early morning, the hotel had charged my credit card for the first night. At check-out on 16 Jun, the hotel charged me Rs. 49, 665 with an assurance that the charge of 2 Jun would be reverted in a fortnight. This was for the stay ONLY. They used some exchange rate of their own. Now today (27 Jun), I get another alert from the bank they appear to have charged CHF15 on my card.
I am still awaiting for the bank to revert with how this amount was charged.
BE AWARE before choosing this hotel!!
3.9
Basically you get what you pay for. Only there for 1 night and being very tired from flight high end amenities were not required as all I wanted was clean and quiet so hotel was exactly what I expected. Clean but small room by N. American standards. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Remember this is Switzerland and hotels are very expensive.
3.9
The Hotel is more ideal if you are staying there for business than Leisure. One needs to bring the luggage up through the steps to report to the reception. The first night was uncomfortable as it was hot and there was only one pedestal fan available for all four of us. The next day one more pedestal fan was provided on request. The Breakfast was horrible.Even the boiled eggs were cold everyday.

Excellent
