Moxy Lausanne City
The hotel has a really welcoming atmosphere, with a comfortable reception area, and modern decor. Staff are really pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was great. The location is a short walk from the music venue Les Docks and very close to the Vigie metro stop.

Hotel Victoria
The staff were wonderful and the hotel is very nice. Sadly the breakfast was not as it should be and leaves a lot to be desired. A wonderful lady was on her own and even with her excellent performance it was too much for one person!
