“great location, very basic hotel”

A very good location 'up the hill' in Lausanne. The hotel is very basic with small rooms, but it is clean & quiet & convenient. A place to 'crash' at night. Not a place to try to work in your room or to hang out.

Area recommendations
the area above the train station is the best area in terms of restaurants, retail, museums and entertainment......but lausanne is a typical 'sleepy' swiss city so don't expect any real activity after 7 p.m. when the shops close and people go to bed.

“Good deal for Switzerland”

Good choice for a budget hotel in Lausanne. (Budget is a VERY relative term in Switzerland!) Smallish but perfectly adequate rooms, nice breakfast included, friendly staff, slightly quirky decorations. No one there at night, so make sure to leave a message to be let in if you're planning to arrive late.

“Great location, good hotel”

+ve great location in the old part of town, near the cathedral, shops, theatres, museums and the metro. +ve friendly reception staff & breakfast staff -ve the entrance stairs, too many if arriving with heavy luggage (and we did) -ve nearby people that were substance abusing, not intrusive, but... the restaurant they suggest offers decent food, however waiters grumpy and impolite. overall will stay again if in lausanne

“Pretty ok”

Overall, it's pretty good. It's very closed to all the Old Town's sightseeing. It's really closed by the metro, Riponne, only 2 mins away. The only concern was that there're quite a few homeless hang around in that metro station. They don't bother anyone but if you feel uncomfortable,you could take the Lausanne Flon. The breakfast was excellent.
