You couldn't ask for a better location in Lausanne than this one if you are traveling by train. You walk out of the train station, cross the street and walk into the hotel. The metro is right next door so getting around the city is extremely easy. We stayed there for 4 nights in May 2013 -- we asked for... More

Stayed there with friends. The hotel is on the same plaza as the train station - very convenient. The metro is the next door, but it's also in a walking distance from all the main attractions. The room is nice an clean. Free internet (also weird Swiss provider that require you to open a separate window on the computer each... More

Right across from the station, good check-in experience. Room overlooking station, but not noisy. Major problem with in-room safe - would not work. Prompt attention by staff, but even he could not fix, despite trying several "fixes". Offered change of room to one with working safe, but none with view available, so lived with non-functioning safe. Single room was adequate,... More

The hotel is well located just in front of the main railway station and walking distance from the old town. The breakfast is quite decent and I loved their huge nespresso machine. On the other hand, my biggest issue with this hotel was the really hard and unconfortable bed, as well as non adjustable room temperature. I totally agree with... More

Arrived 9pm to find room +25C, told the air conditioning had been turned-off for the summer and if I wanted to cool the room then open the window...when over looking the busiest street in Lausanne! It was like sleeping in a sauna! Don't stay at this hotel!

Dear Sir, Following your comments and our phone conversation, I would like once more to underline how sorry I am for the bad experience you had during the night you’ve stayed in our Hotel! It’s true that the air-conditioning was not working as according to the weather forecast the temperature should not go over 15C. Independently to that, our staff... More

We stayed here 3 times over a period of 2 weeks. Very convenient location and they only charge 7CHF for parking. Same room each time which was nice. The room, a junior suite was large with a king sized bed (two twins put together?) and a sofa that makes into a bed. Nothing remarkable but nothing wrong either. Good use... More

Excellent location just opposite of the Main Railway station, excellent service, rooms, and not to forget, the breakfast. Just a few metres to the Metro, connecting to all facilities in Lausanne, and a free bus/metro/train ticket for one day per night at the hotel, made it easy to move around in Lausanne and the nearest surroundings.

Great location directly across from train station. Good price, I couldn't find a better price for anything like this hotel or location. Great Wifi, very speedy. Clean spacious room, comfortable room. Quiet, but we didn't have a street side room, so don't know if that would be worse. Downstairs there's a quiet little bar perfect for a night cap. Continental... More
