3 star Lausanne Pet-friendly hotels in Lake Geneva, Switzerland

Staff were very helpful and friendly. Location of hotel was excellent with a bus stop to access the waterfront a two minute walk away. Rooms were clean and comfortable.

In a quite village outside beautiful Lausanne, the Galion's Hotel stands quietly overlooking the pastures of Cheseaux. This quaint hotel is listed as three stars due to its small size and lack of jacuzzi's. But this is misleading. The cleanliness and comfort surpass some so called four star brands I've stayed in. The friendly, welcoming staff are warmer than the fireplace and my cozy room and comfortable bed were all the therapy I needed after a day of touring. The pub hosts clientelle as diverse as an international airport and the little shops on Rue de Geneve are postcards for the charm of Switzerland. This is the European hospitality experience at it's best. Clean, comfortable and so welcoming you'll never want to leave.

Comfortable, central location very convenient for public transport and for numerous restaurants. Breakfast on the top floor with splendid views from the terrace.

Great location: right on the lake with great views of the pre-Alps; one minute from tube station; one minute from pharmacy, supermarket. You get a free metro/bus card when staying in Lausanne (which the hotel will hand you when you show up) so it makes it really easy to jump on the metro for four stops to get to the main train station. (Alternatively it's a 15min walk.) Great hotel, I would recommend to everyone and I had a great many evenings watching the sunset over the mountains and the lake in the window of my room. Many rooms have patios too and if you book ahead (I was very last minute) you should be able to get one.

The hotel's room was clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was great and the staff members were very helpful. Considering that Lausanne is an expensive city for hotels, this one is worth its value. The only slight inconvenience for turists is that is not exacty very central. Nonetheless one can reach the hotel using public transport without having to rely on taxis or rented cars. Plus, all hotels in Lausanne, including this one, offer a free travel card which allows turist to travel for free within the city including the metro and buses. To reach the hotel simpy one needs to take the metro line 2 and get off in the last stop called croissettes. Immediately out of that metro station one needs to take the bus number 64 and get off in the stop Chevreuil which is just 10 meters away from the hotel, very convenient. One does not need to speak french to understand the transport network. The buses have a screen which show the name of the next bus stop. The website of the hotel has a link to all the timetible of the buses and metro, which are very important to look at as there are no metro or buses throught the night and taxis are very expensive in Lausanne.

Good arounder, good transport pass for the day for FREE.. didn't use it though. Near lots of food locations, shops, metro station....

Very convenient and easy to find. That was the problem as it was right on a very busy street. Room was very small with hardly any space. The hotel seemed pricey for what you got in terms of a room and a continental breakfast.

Overall I thought the hotel was good, but found it irritating that there was only one iron and ironing board for the whole building which is less than ideal if you are staying for a business trip.

Hotel and service was good. Bedroom comfortable, but noisy - It overlooked the driveway to the hotel car park where there was a drain cover that need repair; vehicles driving over this caused a loud bang which one could hear from the bedroom. Also noise from the restaurant kitchen which was directly below the bedroom.
