We saw a little more of Lausanne than we, thanks to some road work and detours. But once we made our way to Hotel Elite, everything was great for a quick visit. The 5-minute walk from the train station with luggage turned into 25 minutes, but it paid off with a comfortable, spacious room in this handsome hotel — with an elevator. We had our choice of restaurants within a short walk that night and were on the edge of the historic City Center for a walking tour the next day. The route to the Cathedral has some steep stretches, so we used the convenient Metro to reach it and work our way back down hill. Our stay included a hearty, hot breakfast in a cozy dining room. And the manager bailed me out. I booked the wrong night, and she shifted it to the next night at no extra charge. Thanks, Hotel Elite.

While the hotel is older, it is classic! Old-world style without being worn out. The staff was great. Very close to the train station. We were impressed by Georgi, who checked us in. A wonderful ambassador for the hotel! This was our first stay, but it will not be our last!!!

Building is very close to metro and train station, but do note there is a steep slope/ long stairs from the stations to the hotel. Reception staff is very nice and welcoming. Building is a bit old but it is fine for one or two days stay.

The rooms don’t have interior top locks, and felt a bit unsafe but I have noticed that in many area hotels. Great price. I picked it because it was the closest to the train station, not realizing the steep steps (3 flights) up, or you can go around up a steep hill. If you have heavy luggage or physical limitations, I would pick a different hotel that may say it’s farther, to the side of the station instead of up!

Zero stars. Advertised as having AC, it did not. Room smelled badly upon arrival. There was a fan but it only worked if you held the button down, removing finger turned off fan. No screens on the windows. Bed sheets were dirty. No other rooms available, no replacement fans available. We checked out after 30 mins to change hotels. Two separate front desk workers were unhelpful and told conflicting stories about manager availability. Manager, who was never available, refused to refund our two night stay. How Elite.

Hotel is outdated but very functional. Excellent location in a quiet neighborhood. Would recommend this hotel.

Great location, but be ready to walk uphill from the train station!! Staff was great. Hotel a bit dated, but clean , well proportioned room , and easy check in and out!

I did not get what I booked. I upgraded our room to one with a view of the lake and a balcony. The manager at the hotel blamed Expedia for allowing the upgrade when it wasn’t available. We did get a view but no balcony with no refund for the up charge. The manager did offer us breakfast as compensation but the breakfast was not the same value as the balcony room we booked.
