Worth the Wait
We saw a little more of Lausanne than we, thanks to some road work and detours. But once we made our way to Hotel Elite, everything was great for a quick visit. The 5-minute walk from the train station with luggage turned into 25 minutes, but it paid off with a comfortable, spacious room in this handsome hotel — with an elevator. We had our choice of restaurants within a short walk that night and were on the edge of the historic City Center for a walking tour the next day. The route to the Cathedral has some steep stretches, so we used the convenient Metro to reach it and work our way back down hill. Our stay included a hearty, hot breakfast in a cozy dining room. And the manager bailed me out. I booked the wrong night, and she shifted it to the next night at no extra charge. Thanks, Hotel Elite.

While the hotel is older, it is classic! Old-world style without being worn out. The staff was great. Very close to the train station. We were impressed by Georgi, who checked us in. A wonderful ambassador for the hotel! This was our first stay, but it will not be our last!!!

It’s fine. Old school. No coffee in rooms or downstairs until breakfast, and then charged. So I had to go to the station early to get coffee and come back. The key they give you is giant. So it is an inconvenient morning experience, which is the opposite of what I want from a hotel. But the location is top notch for a train visit, and close to the walking path down to the lake. Bed and shower were fine, room was small.

Quick and easy check in. The only challenge, which should be temporary, is that the main access road to the property is blocked by construction. The detour can be challenging to locate.

It was a nightmare to approach the property since GPS did not know how to avoid the road construction of the street entrance and stuff could not give help either. Otherwise it was a decent hotel, with convenient parking, after one learns that the nearby parking lots are assigned to residents. The $20 breakfast does not worth more than $10 but there are several konditoreis and other cheap stores to eat breakfast. The surrounding streets are very steep which characterizes the whole city. Yet most interesting places, like restaurants, train station, COOP store, old town, are easily accessible (via the steep roads though).

Building is very close to metro and train station, but do note there is a steep slope/ long stairs from the stations to the hotel. Reception staff is very nice and welcoming. Building is a bit old but it is fine for one or two days stay.

This is a great small hotel. 48 rooms. Good breakfast. Walkable to train station and dining options. I would not recommend this for people with children. This is a small and quiet property with no outside area. The rooms are nice. Ours even had a bathtub. Refrigerators.

The rooms don’t have interior top locks, and felt a bit unsafe but I have noticed that in many area hotels. Great price. I picked it because it was the closest to the train station, not realizing the steep steps (3 flights) up, or you can go around up a steep hill. If you have heavy luggage or physical limitations, I would pick a different hotel that may say it’s farther, to the side of the station instead of up!

Elite dumpster fire
Zero stars. Advertised as having AC, it did not. Room smelled badly upon arrival. There was a fan but it only worked if you held the button down, removing finger turned off fan. No screens on the windows. Bed sheets were dirty. No other rooms available, no replacement fans available. We checked out after 30 mins to change hotels. Two separate front desk workers were unhelpful and told conflicting stories about manager availability. Manager, who was never available, refused to refund our two night stay. How Elite.
