  • 5/5 Mohamad N. 4 years ago on Google
    This hotel exceeded my expectations. It is very close to the train station yet it sits on a very quiet road. The standard twin room we had was very spacious with a lot of natural light and had a large balcony with table, chairs and large planters. The room was elegantly finished and neatly furnished. The breakfast area was comfortable and homey and partially overlooked the nice adjoining garden (the breakfast itself could be more varied). Only the tight elevator can be mentored on the negative side...

    Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! What an amazing value. We thought we were purchasing a value room and we’re so impressed when the room had EVERYTHING! Short walk from the train, huge windows, lots of luggage storage, a comfy bed, a FAN (this is such an easy add that European hotels should do more,) chairs to sit down, full length mirror, great water pressure, adjustable height head (tall guys know,) and a small balcony on a quiet street. Our hostess was very friendly and helped us store our bags in a safe back room while we explored. Note: be aware that it is up a huge staircase but so is everywhere else so I don’t think it’s avoidable.

    We’ve stayed for two nights. Very good price, very good location! Very helpful and lovely staff! Absolutely clean, with everything that you need. I loved that the breakfast was included in the price. The person handling the breakfast was absolutely lovely and helpful! Thank you for the fresh bread, awesomely cooked eggs and great pastries! By the way, the breakfast includes sweet and salty, which is great! Thank you very much!

    A very comfortable budget hotel in Lausanne. Breakfast buffet could be better in terms of variety of dishes offered.

    Albeit on the Hilly side, just a few minutes walk from the Terminal Train Station. If you're carrying heavy luggage, recommended to walk on the Hilly road instead of the steep stairs just 39steps from the hotel. Love the cozy classic interior, lovely staff receptionist and the view from the balcony is majestic with Lake View in early morning. Will definitely come and stay here again when Musee D'elysees open next year.

    Fast and friendly check-in. We stayed two nights passing through the area and to enjoy Lake Geneva. We requested a parking space in advance (you can't assume that it will be available with European hotels, as it's often limited) and it was right out front - very convenient. Good location between the waterfront and city center, but be aware there's a lot of elevation between the two. We received a city pass at check-in that allowed us to use public transport which was helpful. Room was adequate for our needs, clean, nothing special. Quiet at night. Breakfast was included, though we would have preferred an opt-out option. Especially during coronavirus, and they didn't follow their own guideline for maximum number of guests in the small dining room. Overall it was a pleasant stay.

    A small hotel located stone throw away about 5-8 mins walk from Lausanne train station. Super convenient in term of transportation. The hotel is old fashioned but it look perfectly well maintained. Room is big enough to house 3 pax and it is very clean. Breakfast is nice and delicious. There are few restaurants nearer the hotel, which is convenient for dinner. Staffs are friendly and helpful. There is nothing to complain about.

    Everything was nice and clean in spite of this being a very old hotel. My only complaint would be that the wifi was very slow and there was always a slight noise in our room (like there was a vacuum always on). But other from that I would recommend this hotel.

    This is a small "old fashioned" hotel in the best sense of the word. Very quiet even though it was full, in a quiet side street in a garden setting. Very comfortable room and comfortable beds, with a view over the roofs to lake and mountains. Lots of extra services offered eg a computer room. Storage for bikes. Helpful and courteous staff. Nice breakfast, restaurants within easy walking distance. Short steep downhill walk to station. (Lausanne is on a hill)

    Very helpful staff, good breakfast, nice rooms. Central location though difficult to drive to in the center of the city (a very American complaint!).

    Great stay here, very clean and comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful. Nice breakfast. Had to walk up about 70 steps to get here from train but only minutes from station.

    A nice classic place for your holiday. The location is good only minutes away from Lausanne main railway station. (But you have to climb the stairs! So if you have big luggages there is going to be a problem hauling them up.) You can even walk to the town center from the hotel (but again ...up the hill!) The price is quite right... not so expensive and it includes breakfast (breads, hams, coffee, cereals... and boiled eggs- no other hot dishes provided.) The room is big. It may look old but it is well maintained and in very good condition. No smell or dust... we are quite impressed, considering the age of the hotel. Staff is nice and friendly.

    Traditional old-fashioned hotel. Highly recommended if you like old school hospitality.
