Conveniently located just across the train station. Hotel is a little dated though and the room I stayed was without air-con. However, they provided a standing fan. Staffs are very friendly and helpful.

The property is immediately opposite Lausanne rail station and between the 2 metro stops. It is very quiet inside the hotel and the bed was extremely comfortable. There is a coffee maker in the room and a carafe for water. The shower is great. The staff are all very helpful, with ideas for places to visit and transport information
