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

Staff were outstandingly professional and pleasant. The hotel is exceptionally placed in the centre of town opposite the railway station. Beyond the hotel’s control there was disruption and noise from construction work and sometimes there was shouting and disruption by people outside the station. This hotel was once a classically elegant building but it is beginning to need a bit of design TLC to bring it back to the standard it first had. Nonetheless it provided a great base for exploring Lausanne and Le Léman area.
