Lausanne hotels

Pros: Staff were excellent and helpful; the prop[erty and room were very nice. We liked the bar in the hotel for a quiet drink and a bite to eat, and the location is very central and while not directly at the lake the views and location overall are very good.

Pros: Best hotel for business according with price/quality rate

Pros: Light and bright

Pros: Beautiful location.

Cons: It’s quite old facility and need a refurbishment

Pros: Cleaning was really good, location is amazing, breakfast really good for the price

Cons: it was a really small room, the air conditioning was too hot when arrived, I missed the plastic duck at the bathroom it was an amazing detail, also I dont like the all purpose shampoo… I rather to have a soap.

Pros: I stayed at the Movenpick because of the location (next to Lake Lemain, also called Lake Geneva). My room was reasonable in size (not large by US standards, but large by European standards) and had a beautiful view over the lake with the snow capped mountains behind. Absolutely worth paying the extra for the view! The breakfast buffet is very expensive, but you can order a la carte and it's much more affordable. There's a very good fitness center in the hotel (one of the best hotel fitness centers in my experience) with a sauna in it. The hotel has three restaurants, and the chef is very good (same kitchen for all three restaurants, just different atmosphere), and have a fine wine selection. Walking near Lake Lemain is one of the reasons to stay at this hotel. Enjoy!

Cons: When ordering a la carte for breakfast, the waitstaff are often slow to the point of it being a problem.

Cons: Over priced, also when I booked it say partially lake view and it was not

Pros: Clean, quiet, friendly staff, good quality/price

Pros: Free chocolate in the room, presents for kids

Cons: No soap in the bathroom. Only one person at reception so you have to wait for check-in/out for a long time. Nothing is around so you have to drive to the closest restaurant for 5 min.

Pros: BREAKFAST WAS THE BEST PART. I WOULD RECOMMEND TO TAKE BREAKFAST AS THE FOOD OUTSIDE IS VERY EXPENSIVE. THE BREAKFAST WAS BEAUTIFUL AS IT HAD ALL SELECTION OF CEREALS, BREADS, FRUITS, DIFFERENT FLAVOURED YOGURTS, HOT MEALS, PANCAKE MACHINE AND SO ON.

Cons: THE STAFF

Pros: Affordable price and the staff are very friendly

Pros: Location. Staff

Cons: Noisy

Pros: Overall, welcoming staff, nice breakfast.

Cons: One staff member was not that friendly. A bit expensive for a youth hostel.

Pros: I guess it is good value for money. Spacious and like a time machine :) Very clean, ok breakfast, comfortable rooms, big restaurant and common area.

Cons: Needs renovation, bit modernisation of doors, windows, floors and furniture.

Pros: Nice entrance, breakfast, staff, shower was good.

Cons: Beds and room very smelly! Maybe the room mates. Pillow had no internal strength. Very prison like

Pros: Cool design, great ambiance, furnished breakfast, courteous staff

Cons: strange location

Pros: Convenient place to stay. The staff were friendly and helpful and the hotel was clean throughout. The breakfast was very good.

Cons: Could do with tea and coffee making facilities in the room.

Pros: The room and the hotel overall

Cons: The wifi didn’t work: you have to provide a phone number and receive an sms to validate it. The sms never came to my french number. The receptionist (evening of Mar. 5) was indifferent and wasn’t willing to help. Since I travelled for work, it was a major issue.

Pros: the price is very good

Cons: no hair dryer in the room

Pros: Took measures about the virus.

Cons: It was cold.

Pros: Great location, everything is walking distance.

Pros: The receptionist was very kind

Cons: In the booked room there was really bad air, did not feel clean. The bedsheets were sticky because of the humid and stiff air.

Pros: I see this as a good mid-market hotel: I liked the design and feel of the room (less so the reception area). Breakfast selection was very good for a hotel of this type.

Cons: Not much that I didn't like apart from the fact that the bed was a single bed. In fairness I had only booked a single room, so I can't technically complain, but I feel in this day and age double beds should be the norm, even for single guests - particularly so in a modern hotel.

Pros: Good location close to train station and in a nice neighborhood with good restaurants nearby. Tastefully decorated and practical room. Quiet at night. Amazing view from breakfast area. Correct handling of check-in and -out.

Cons: Room cleaning dropped in around 5:30pm when we were getting ready for dinner. Seems quite late for cleaning as we were out all day. Living in France we are used to greet and be greeted when coming and leaving. Was surprised this wasn’t the case here.

Pros: Gréât beds and linen . Clean and functional

Cons: Cleaning staff talking really loud at each other in the hallway and also music on loud as they cleaned rooms with the door open . Not cool at 8 in the morning when trying to enjoy a lie in . Also one member of the staff on the reception extreme rude and obnoxious

Pros: Clean Boiler in the room Somehow central, near railway station, the city is on the hill anyway Fridge in the room

Cons: VERY DISSAPOINTED !!! Room underground, window difficult to open It was very strange and difficult to reach the room underground, very tiny corridors, felt like in a prison I received the room underground probably because I took no breakfast.. Garage Underground very small and difficult to drive , also too expensive 20 CHF / night Extremely poor WIFI, I could not have it at all, maybe because I was underground...… I had no breakfast and still, at the end ,they wanted to charge me for 3 times breakfast Noisy.. you can hear everything through the walls.. Noisy closing doors Money will be taken in advance, at arrival

Pros: Location is great, close to train station and metro

Cons: Beware of the floor. The 2nd is like a basement. Staff is not friendly.

Pros: Good pillow and bed

Cons: Beer in minibar was opened by somebody before.

Pros: Lovely breakfast with a wonderful view. Good location near train station.

Cons: Rather noisy. We were on the first floor and could hear every time someone above us flushed.

Pros: Location of the hotel was great. Metro is just steps away. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The view from hotel is the definition of serenity.

Cons: Furniture is a bit rusty.

Pros: Locayion

Cons: Rooms are a little dated.

Pros: good location.

Cons: Very noisy rooms. You could hear the alarm of the room next door

Pros: Very good location, close to metro. Good breakfast.

Cons: Value for money.

Pros: Location, Bed quality, Staff during the morning shift was very helpful

Cons: Staff during the evening and night shift wasn't helpful, room was cold, we had to ask for an extra heater that was brought by the morning shift although we had asked the previous evening too and they replied they didn't have any

Pros: Great location, great view. Clean comfortable bed. Good price .

Cons: Although I appreciate for the price it’s not luxury they should consider getting an updated hair dryer ( my hair got stuck in it 3 times/ it’s the old built in ones ) and bathroom soap dispenser as this would make it seem less stuck in the 70/80’s. Not a huge issue again for the price but would make it all seem less dated.

Pros: The location could not have been more perfect.

Pros: Great view. The metro station and bus stop are close. Not far from the city center. Great personnel.

Cons: There was no slippers.

Pros: Its a very very convenient location, literally right opposite the metro station. The room is big and comfortable and kept very clean. Bed was good size and comfortable. Would prefer a big double rather than 2 singles joined together however it was still a comfortable nice bed. Staff was very lovely and helpful.

Cons: The hotel is on a very busy street and gets really noisy in the evening and overnight. We stayed over the weekend and could not open the window later in the evening as it was too loud and noisy outside. OK in a winter but can imagine in a summer when its hot and you want a bit of fresh air you then wont sleep for sure. The lights had a weird system, both bedside lamps could only be on or off together. You cant have just one on. Maybe it was just our room but that was bit annoying.

Pros: Comfortable bed and helpful staff

Cons: I couldn’t tell they were a “wine hotel”. The photographs make it look way cooler than it is.

Pros: The breakfast room was very nice with the amazing view of the bridge and the cathedral.

Cons: The atmosphere of lobby was not really comfy because no music was played and it was too silent.

Cons: Fridge next to the bed is not a good idea especially not when it is one of those rather load fridges.

Pros: Very good space and location. Friendly staff. Good choice for families (with kids)

Cons: Minimal kitchen - just consider that. Don’t make stakes!!!

Pros: It’s right next to the metro and ideally located for a access to the pedestrianised town centre and the cathedral. The hotel has limited services but the rooms are lovely and modern, clean and quiet. My room had a view of the cathedral and lake from the 5th floor.

Cons: The breakfast didn’t look that enticing (I’m fussy about my coffee and croissants) so I went out to a local cafe instead. The breakfast room is lovely though and the buffet breakfast appears to be good value.

Pros: Excellent location , staff are very friendly and happy to help.

Cons: Somewhere to sit and have a drink , there are seats and you can get a drink but it’s not really a bar and no food is served.

Pros: The ambience and location were fantastic. The breakfast buffet had lots of variety of tasty items.

Cons: Our room was not up to par. We were there with a group and saw their room (suite) which was beautiful, fully renovated. In comparison our room (upgraded, with lake view) was tiny with outdated carpets. Obviously a room that has not been updated for some time. Also the restaurant staff was not very friendly, the best way to describe them was officious.

Pros: This hotel was very comfortable, and the location is very convenient as it sits just off the main shopping street.

Cons: Nothing stood out as bad or unpleasant.

Pros: Nice view of the lake.

Cons: Awful sewer smell from the bathroom! Asked for maintenance but no one came so couldn't shower.

Pros: For three people, the room they gave us was the same one we stayed in before and it was perfect. Large room, lovely bathroom plus shower and separate toilet.

Cons: Can't think of anything.

Pros: The hotel sits up over lake Geneva, affording beautiful views of Port Ouchy and Lausanne. The hotel staff was professional, courteous, and spoke English well. The room was average size by American standards, and was comfortably appointed and quiet. The restaurant served a decent buffet breakfast, and dinner was excellent. In the morning and evening they would open the large windows allowing the cool breeze to waft in, providing a nice enticement to stay longer for drinks! The Cathedral Notra Dam of Lausanne is an easy walk from here, as is old town. The bus stop is just down the hill a bit from the hotel, making it quite easy to get around. The hotel even gave us free bus passes for our entire stay, which was a nice bonus!

Cons: Nothing!
