Clean, modern hotel in a great location - the metro is right outside the hotel door. The lack of air conditioning might be a problem in the summer, it was fine in the fall.

I recently returned to the Swiss Wine Hotel during my 2025 trip to Switzerland, eager to reconnect with friends and explore the charming city of Lausanne and its surroundings. Once again, the hotel proved to be the perfect base for my adventures. Its unbeatable location right outside Bessières Metro station made getting around a breeze, while a Coop supermarket just across the street offered convenience for any essentials. Within walking distance, I enjoyed visiting the historic Place de la Riponne and the breathtaking cathedral, all easily accessible via a scenic stroll across the Charles Bessières Bridge. My room (605) was impeccably clean and furnished with a plush, comfortable bed that ensured a restful night’s sleep. The only minor drawback was the warmth, as the room was situated in the attic, which made it quite cozy. However, the air conditioning swiftly alleviated the heat, albeit quite noisy when in operation. Despite that small inconvenience, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. I highly recommend the Swiss Wine Hotel to anyone seeking a cozy, well-located spot in Lausanne. It’s a true gem for both leisure and exploration!

Had a great view from the window of the city, and the hotels architecture and interior were very unique and beautiful. Staff were great and the breakfast was actually very high quality compared to many other hotels and delicious. Close to a lot of shopping and nightlife, overall a great stay, and spacious room.

I liked the position of the hotel and I like that they have a deal with a nearby parkinglot. The rooms were too hot, even with the ceiling fan, it was impossible to be there in daytime, we went in August.

A little disappointed

Silverfish in the bathroom, mould in the mini fridge, and no air conditioning. Honestly, I expected better. On the plus side, sheets and towels were clean, staff were kind, toiletries were replenished every day, and there was an extra fan in the room.

Great local, very comfortable and clean room. The only drawback for the lack of air conditioning. There was a ceiling fan and a table fan but they did not really make the room temperature comfortable for sleeping. The windows open but it was noisy at night because of European football finals taking place and locals celebrating the matches in the streets.

I had great stay at the Swiss Wine Hotel during a recent trip to Switzerland, where I reconnected with friends and explored the charming city and beyond. The hotel's location is perfect for exploring Lausanne, with Bessières Metro station right outside the door and a convenient Coop supermarket just across the street. The historic Place de la Riponne and the stunning cathedral are also within walking distance of the hotel; just a short stroll across the picturesque Charles Bessières Bridge. My room was immaculately clean and boasted a supremely comfortable bed, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The only minor drawback was the room's warmth, as it didn't have air conditioning. However, I was able to manage by opening the windows during the day to let in the fresh air and closing them at night to enjoy a peaceful sleep (as my room faced onto the main street). Despite this minor issue, I would definitely consider staying here again on a future visit. In fact, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and conveniently located hotel in Lausanne. Just be prepared for a warm stay during the summer months!
