Agora Swiss Night by Fassbind

Very comfortable and very functional rooms. We were 3 in a room and still had place for everyone

- Well located, just a couple blocks walk from the SBB/CFF station and the Lausanne metro. - New, clean rooms with nice decor. - Opportunity to use amenties such as exercise room and sauna. - Staff were friendly. Had a hiccup during check-in (had to change the room because the room was already occupied), but it was handled well. - Drawback is that breakfast is not included in the rate and is charged at 22 CHF/person/day. We did not try the breakfast here.

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.

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 $$.
