"Excellent location. Room was clean with a nice view on lac Leman."

Hotel Mirabeau, BW Signature Collection

"Memorable hotel with character, could not be more pleased! Very convenient location near the train station but not too close. Beautiful Art Deco building after a major renovation with good A/C. Everything is pristine. Good breakfast. On-site limited parking, which I did reserve in advance as I had a car. Staff is very friendly and highly professional. Front desk guys were wonderful, morning breakfast gentleman by name Vincent was fantastic, remembering our dietary restrictions on the second day, truly impressive! I would return in a heartbeat."

Carlton Lausanne Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hôtel relativement bien situé, à proximité de plusieurs restaurants et du métro, avec également un stationnement à proximité. La chambre était un peu petite, mais confortable, avec une agréable petite terrasse. Nous avons aussi apprécié qu’ils aient gracieusement retiré les frais d’early check-in. Le petit déjeuner était assez varié et bien fourni. Seul point négatif : la climatisation a cessé de fonctionner lors de notre dernière nuit et il faisait malheureusement très chaud dans la chambre, ce qui a rendu la nuit moins confortable. Dans l’ensemble, une bonne expérience et un hôtel bien situé pour un séjour à Lausanne."
