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.

The staff was amazing from check-in to check-out. They were consistently warm and welcoming. They answered questions and offered informed advice. The room was small but laid out beautifully, giving a sense of spaciousness and comfort. The location was wonderful. It was across the street from the train station. It is a five minute walk to the art museum. It is a two minute walk to the funicular which takes you up to the cathedral and restaurants and shops of downtown. A bonus for vegetarians and salad lovers: there’s a historic cafe in the train station with great food and coffee. And the setting is lovely.

Good location. The room was on the back side of the hotel and very calm. Quite spacious, but with basic amenities for a 4 stars hotel. Also, no special facilities were available, as one would expect from a 4 star hotel. The breakfast was ok, but 25.-chf was in my opinion a bit too high with respect to the offering of food and beverage variety.
