Liked: Staff & service
Location in front of train station. Staff was friendly & helpfull. The elevator was under construction. Rooms rug looked dirty.
They gave us a room that was behind a city construction and they started to work at 7:40 am. They didn't advise when checked in.
Great position across the road from the train station. I had read a few reviews about rude staff. This could not be further from our experience. Everybody was super friendly and especially Gabriel at the front desk who went over and above with assistance during our stay.
Right in front of the train station. I arrived very late - 1:30am! The front desk was very helpful, reassuring when I called worried that they will let go of my room. Easy check in, clean and simple room. An excellent location, 30 seconds from the station!
Good, clean hotel across the street from train station. Helpful and friendly staff, good breakfast.
Was a little hassle to park in front and unload luggage from the car- but that not the hotel fault. We should've come by train.
The staff is very welcoming. I had a room which was spacious and calm. The transportation is next to the hotel and I was given a transport card letting me use all public transportation within the limits of Lausanne and surrounding villages.
The hotel is across the street from the train station. At night the train station does not feel very safe. Lot of homeless and panhandlers. But this is not a problem if you ignore them.
Great location, walkable from the train. Very nice check in staff. We had to take a twin room and the beds were not great, they are lower at the head of the bed than at the foot. They don’t have any extra pillows in the whole hotel. It was great to have a nice size shower and a portable fan for the bedroom area.

Super convenient location beside the train station
Don’t expect a high end hotel or neighborhood, but clean and practical
Right by metro and train station. With the transit pass made it very easy to get around with the metro next door. Good choices for breakfast. Staff helpful and friendly. Only complaint was it was hot and air conditioner wasn’t working properly
