Great room with everything we needed, including a L’or coffee machine which was just what I wanted waking up! Good location and perfect for seeing the whole of Lausanne, easy transport links for bus, train, and metro right outside! It’s busy outside but not noisy, which was good!

The staff at reception was efficient and friendly. The breakfast was pleasant and well-serviced. The location across from the train station was very convenient and the sound proofing of the hotel meant that the trains were not an intrusion. The Metro is right next door and gets you around easily.

For a short business trip to Lausanne, this hotel was very conveniently located opposite the main train station. The room was clean; only downside was the air-con not working. Breakfast was good but at £25 per person not cheap. Staff were friendly and professional.

A functional hotel conveniently situated opposite Lausanne railway station and 40 yards from the metro entrance. The complimentary transport card that is provided allows easy access up to the old town (2 stops) and down to the lakeside (4 stops). My room facing the station (currently undergoing major expansion) was compact and reasonably comfortable, with a notably high pressure shower. The station surroundings are typically unprepossessing but the attractive parts of the town are not far distant.
