    The room was very comfortable and clean. We were given free city transportation tickets for the duration of our stay, highly appreciated. The hotel is very close to the main train station.

    The view of the lake from my room was.. exhilarating. But what really set this property apart for me as a frequent business traveller was the level of service. I arrived late from a delayed flight, with my laptop battery out and a crucial online meeting about to start. Azlea (Slavic lady at the reception, I might be butchering her name) understood the urgency and had me settled in my room in under 3 minutes, heck she even lent me a charger adapter to get my laptop up and running. I like that this property retains some of the old school service standards. All has not been lost to the machine-manned, reception-less business hotels. I'll be returning again. Oh, and the breakfast is generous and high quality.

    I haven't had such a sublime hotel experience in a long while. From check-in to check-out, everything was superb: attentive and helpful staff, aid with parking, the room and the view, the building itself, the breakfast - everything was top-notch. And for a very reasonable price, too. Highly recommend for staying in Lausanne.

    Lovely oldie worldly charm. Staff polite and friendly. Dinner was good and we were served promptly and helpful

    Perfectly meets expectations given price and location. The hotel staff is very friendly and available late in the evening. Rooms are nice with modern equipment, bathtub and a TV. They also offer a parking garage that can be used after check-in. Spaces are large enough to fit a wide car/SUV but it's a bit tight to maneuver. A small issue was the maze-like layout of the halls, probably due to the size of the hotel they tried to fit in lots of rooms, making it somewhat cramped and the rooms weren't particularly large either. Didn't have dinner at the restaurant. But the breakfast was as you would expect for a continental/French-style breakfast buffet with omelettes, eggs, bacon, breads, croissants and more. It's a great hotel if you need to be in the center of Lausanne, for business or fun, and nearby the train station and very accessible with Uber as well as a personal vehicle.

    Loved our stay! Stayed at the Hotel Mirabeau November 2021 and absolutely loved it! The staff was friendly and made our stay comfortable and personal. We do not speak any Swiss German or French but the staff spoke excellent English. They also gave us suggestions of things to see and do and how to take the train. Our room was amazing! We had the junior suite on the 2nd floor. It has vaulted ceilings, two balconies one of which was an extra large balcony with an alp and lake view, and it has the cutest boat/sailing décor. We included the awesome breakfast which had both American and European breakfast offerings. We also loved the bar and restaurant for dinner. The hotel is just a block from the train station and 15 minute walk to the Olympic Museum and Lake Geneva. Will certainly stay again and highly recommend it.

    Travelling alone could be challenging, and so it is in my particular case, but this time I had the good chance of staying for 41 days at Hôtel Mirabeau Lausanne. It couldn’t have been better! for not only I enjoyed of excellent services but, above all, because the personnel kindness and charm (I dare to say without exception) made my long staying unforgettable. I felt at home. I appreciate indeed having found this not that small well located « bijou ». Back in Bolivia, I regret not having left a personal thank you note to each of you! Looking forward to seeing you soon!

    Google listed this hotel providing free breakfast - this is not true. We booked the hotel with the impression that breakfast was included in the room rate. When we actually went there we had to pay CHF25 per person for breakfast. Breakfast quality was average for the price. To the hotel manager who responded to my review: go to google map app, find your hotel, click “overview”, you’ll see it says your hotel provides free breakfast.

    A cozy hotel. Rooms are comfortable and very tidy. I didn’t have iron/iron board in my room ( though my friends in similar category had it, which is weird) Good reception service and very polite staff. In breakfast they offer continental breakfast 🍳 🥞 For vegetarians they have fruits, juices, breads (check if they have eggs) and pancakes Lift setup and overall rooms gallery is a maze for me (I got lost twice) The lifts are tiny but for one family -3 -4 people can fit in with minimal luggage 🧳 You can stay for few days for a cozy stay. Recommended

    Really nice view of the lake and friendly staff. The rooms were cozy and breakfast small but tasty and it had everything you needed.

  • 5/5 Krista P. 1 year ago on Google
    We stayed in the lakeview suite which offered incredible views of Lake Geneva. There was a separate living room and bedroom, and a large bathroom with a second toilet. Lots of great amenities and the buffet breakfast is a must.

    It was a great experience, nice and tidy rooms, friendly personnel, night access, covered garage next door, centrally located.

  • 5/5 Shelley F. 5 months ago on Google
    I stayed at this hotel 9/15/2023 - 9/17/2023 and was thoroughly pleased with the room, location, and ambiance. (The hotel offered free transportation on buses, etc and it was easy to pick up a bus right at the corner). But, it was the attention, professionalism, and kindness from Emmanuel that really made my stay so comfortable and welcoming. Thank you, Emmanuel, for your level of care, responsibility; it was a pleasure speaking with you and staying at the Mirabeau. Shelley F.

    We were very excited to stay here but unfortunately, our stay was disappointing to say the least. Rooms are dimly lit. Staff saw us struggling with bags and did not help. AC does not turn on until the temp is above 25 degrees. So at 24 degrees, there is no AC. They did provide a fan on request. But the worst part was the beds. Extremely hard and uncomfortable, they didn’t even seem like there was a topper on top of the mattress. Also, while coming from train station, if you have bags, the hotel is uphill and significant distance to walk which we did not realise earlier. This was also the only hotel on our stay in Switzerland to ask for a “refundable guarantee” at checkin which was not even refunded. Overall, we couldn’t sleep at all and checked out as early as possible next morning. Not recommended!

    Excellent location for Lausanne. Delicious breakfast. Shoutout to Andre and his team for being courteous hosts in the morning. Comfortable rooms.

  • 5/5 Martin K. 4 months ago on Google • 42 reviews
    A short walk from the train and metro stations. Nice Art Nouveau / Art Deco interior. My room was quiet, spacious, wall-to-wall carpeted, with a proper desk and a big bathroom (and bathtub). The lobby restaurant is renowned; some people travel from out of town just to have dinner there. Up the road there are pleasant Lebanese and Thai eateries. Overall, a luxury experience.

  • 4/5 Herbert W. 5 months ago on Google
    We were surprised by the quality of the hotel and its services, they are excellent, without a doubt. Great location, very spacious and comfortable rooms, incredible panoramic views, with very welcoming staff who are always ready to help us with any questions that every tourist has. A great option.

    A lovely hotel, very welcoming staff, room very comfortable and quiet. Food from the bar menu was delicious , as was breakfast. Very close to the train station which is a bonus. We hope to return!

    Everything was very high quality and not so expensive. Very nice staff, super breakfast, comfortable room, nice views, and good location. Highly recommended!

  • 4/5 April B. 1 year ago on Google
    The wifi didn't work. The rooms aren't soundproof so I could hear my neighbours and had the misfortune of being next to a family, which meant they were noisy really early in the morning, especially for a Sunday. Other than that the hotel is lovely and the staff on in the morning was friendly and helpful, though the person on the evening before wasn't. The room was clean overall. However, I use to work in hotels so did notice some spots that got missed. I couldn't get the fridge in the room to work so that was annoying. Overall it was a pleasant experience, the bed was comfortable and I would return but just won't make the same mistakes as this time, and will be armed with earplugs.

    Great location in Lausanne, convenient to train station, lake front, and old town as well as convenient bus lines. We stayed in a family room that was very spacious for the four of us, one room with a queen sized bed and another with two twins.

  • 3/5 Richard F. 1 year ago on Google
    Our stay was ok. The location is good but the rooms are in desperate need of refurbishing with very tired fixtures. Perhaps we just got unlucky. Walls were very thin too, to the extent that we could almost eavesdrop on the adjoining room’s conversations. So it definitely wasn’t the best night’s sleep. Nice vibe in the reception areas though and reception staff were nice enough too.

  • 5/5 Seyla C. 1 year ago on Google
    My family enjoyed our stay here. Our check in with (Victor) was a wonderful experience. Friendly staff as well. Thank you! Our family room was ideal with two children. Hotel was short walking distance to train station and metro. Furthermore, supermarkets, a Italian restaurant and boulangerie were less than 10 minutes in walking distances where we visited. We will definitely stay here again if we visit Lausanne. Merci beaucoup!

  • 5/5 Minghui T. 1 year ago on Google
    The front desk receptionist, Victor, has made a difference to my trip at Lausanne. He was very friendly, helpful and sincere. He answered my queries and to my many requests patiently and always with a genuine smile. Best receptionist that I have ever met.

  • 4/5 Nathan S. 1 year ago on Google
    Fine 4* hotel with a unique 20’s atmosphere. Rooms are a bit dated, but comfortable. The beds are great though. The staff is really friendly! Good price / quality balance. Not the best 4* hotel in Lausanne, but those are often much more expensive.

  • 4/5 Ross 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely hotel a short walk from the train station. We stayed as part of a group and had to wait an hour before the rooms were ready upon arrival but the room and bed was very comfortable. The first evening there was a mistake with our dinner reservation (I don’t think they were expecting the group) so had to make something from what they had which was nice enough and they didn’t charge for our drinks. The meal the second night was nicer. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was nice and the location was perfect. Would happily return!

    This is an absolutely lovely hotel. Staff (from the front desk to the housekeeping) are all wonderfully kind and accommodating. It's in a great location, close to numerous tasty restaurants and a short walk from the town square. Our family of four was in a suite with a big balcony and two rooms. Our two kids had a nice sized room with two twin beds and our bed was a king size - all very clean and comfortable. This is one of the nicest, most comfortable hotels I've ever stayed in.

  • 5/5 Fredrik N. 5 years ago on Google
    Only great things to say about this hotel. Reception is decent in English. Great service and a fast and friendly check in. Room was fresh, cool, clean. Room had minibar, safe, kettle, fast Wifi and a lovely balcony with a view over the lake. Breakfast was good with a continental buffet. Got a voucher for free bus service around the city. That’s a great extra!

  • 4/5 Andrew C. 5 years ago on Google
    Rooms are clean with a nice balcony. Not overly luxurious but they are nice. Reception is very helpful giving advice on things to and helping when needed. Breakfast is good with a variety of foods. Great location just a short walk to the train station

  • 5/5 Sarah Y. 7 years ago on Google
    Great check-in. Front desk personnel were very professional and courteous. The gentleman (sorry forgot his name) showed us several rooms to choose from. The extra attention was really nice. He also had lots of information to pass on to us about the city (transportation, sites, etc.). Lovely fellow. The maids were really good as well. Knew exactly what needed to be done and kind also. The wait staff at the restaurant were also top notch. They greeted us like we were old friends. Nice touch. Food was really good! We loved our room and enjoyed our stay at the hotel. We would definitely come back again. Thanks again!

    I always reach and leave hotel Mirabeau with a smile! Excellent service, amazing food, always clean and tidy, close distance to transport and an amazing view of the lake! Definitely recommend it!

  • 5/5 Ben B. 2 years ago on Google
    The staff, service,room and food was top quality and fast. Still have one night stay left but just really appreciate everything. I recommend staying here 100%. Travel passes to get around also was provided and bis stop and train station at walking distance!!

  • 5/5 T U. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a great dinner there. Excellent service with good recommendations. I had the Japanese tartar which was one of the best tartar dishes I had.

  • 5/5 Wolfgang H. 2 years ago on Google
    We have not been there yet, but I need to share my experience already. The friendliness and obligingness of the reception staff surpasses anything I've experienced so far (having lodged in more than a hundred different hotels). Great and swift communication, accommodating to the guest wherever possible. The rating as one of the best hotels in the region is apparently well earned. We are looking forward to our stay.
