The initial reason that we chose this hotel was because of the location, just opposite Lausanne main train station. We had a very pleasant three-night stay: Friendly staff; Our room is clean and spacious with a walk in closet.

Negatives: the room was tired and outdated, no AC just a noisy airfilter that only had one setting (on or off), and the location is very noisy (people & traffic). Positives: staff were friendly, room was clean and the bed & bedding was comfortable

Centrally located in Lausanne (directly at Central Station). Room is big enough and well cleaned, but the street is noisy - sleeping with open windows is not really possible, but air conditioning is working well. You can do everything by foot (lake side or city). The room has a coffee machine and a fridge. Parking is possible in a garage nearby (~10min foot walk), costs 20fr/day.

This hotel is right next to the railway station and the staff were so friendly and helpful. We registered on the hotel app choosing to be environmentally friendly and agree to not having the room cleaned for the 3 days we were there and that gave us a refund on 10 CHF. We were surrounded by great restaurants and were able to walk to all the attractions However the metro was right outside if we needed it lovely room and comfy beds. We were given a Swiss pass which gave us free travel on trains and buses. Excellent service, we will be back!

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
