the receptionist was the worst
the receptionist was the worst ever! we got a smoking room despite requesting for one and she was absolutely unhelpful. she was downright rude and unfriendly. when she was asked regarding directions to the congress area, she replied saying that she was the receptionist and not the concierge. this was our worst experience in any hotel in the world. would definitely NOT recommend Agora Hotel

I read a few nasty review on this
I read a few nasty review on this hotel before I booked it. Something about bed bugs and stuff. I was quite worried, but this hotel was just fine. Location was good. Right next to this special train station. Parking is free. The room was a bit small, but we did not mind. Overall quite good and satisfied.

nice hotel
Very convenient to train station with nice size room and a quiet location. Breakfast was quite expensive, so we purchased food to keep in the room and got coffee from a cute little place about a block away called Cafe Romantica. Great sandwiches and pastries and you can have your petit dejenier there too. We would definitely recommend the hotel to others and would stay there again if we returned to Lausanne.

Worth trying
Hotel Agora was well worth the money. I expected a pretty bad hotel actually, but was very happily surpised. The room was large, including a desk and dining table. Full bathroom, fridge, coffee in room, plasma tv and AC. I had stayed in an upscale hotel in the same city just one week before, and it was 3 times the nightly rate. I expected Agora to be more or less a whole in the wall. I didnt try breakfast there. Staff was friendly and spoke english. I walked to the train station about 2 blocks away. There are a few places to eat within walking distance. No scenery, but what you are getting at the hotel saves you enough for a rental car so you can drive to the town or lake. The only downside to the hotel on my stay was that the room had a little smell to it. I was not sure if it was smoke, which it probably was like most euro hotels that are smoke/non-smoke. It wasnt bad enough to impact my stay, and turning on the AC seemed to help. I'd stay here again absoulutely for sure. Out of the 6 different euro hotels I stayed in on this trip, the Agora was number 3 in terms of nice, and number 2 in terms of cheap. 3 other rooms i stayed in were much worse, and all three more $$.
