Impressed in lausanne

Wonderful team on the front desk. Extremely polite and helpful. Rooms were spotless and comfortable. Great location across from the station and 20yds from the metro which was free due to the free travel pass from the hotel. It also gave us a discount on the ferry across the lake to france

Dont hesitate to stay here!

The most awesome part of the hotel was the staff. The night staff, Michele and his assistant, were incredibly helpful with our questions about the rail systems. This was our first experience with swiss railways and they were patient and helpful with each of our inquiries. The location could not be more convenient to the rail station and restaurants.

Right in front of the train station. I arrived very late - 1:30am! The front desk was very helpful, reassuring when I called worried that they will let go of my room. Easy check in, clean and simple room. An excellent location, 30 seconds from the station!
