Liked: Cleanliness
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
Great location across the road from the station. Lovely breakfast. Room a bit odd…over large bed, could not walk around end of it…no drinks in mini bar…good AC.
