“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.

“A very nice place to stay”

This small hotel is centrally situated in Lausanne. It is quiet with friendly staff and a good breakfast. My room had a larger than normal balcony.

“Great hotel, at the very centre of Lausane”

For start, we were given the top floor room with a magnificent view of the center of the city, and part of the Geneva lake and the Alps in the background. The room was in good condition, and the breakfast was ok. The metro station was one minute walking distance, taking you in two stops to the main railway station. Definitely recommended!

“Exceeded expectations”

This is an unassuming little hotel with a central location. Not easy to find at first but convenient for the Metro line to the main station. Room on 5th floor was very quiet and clean. Breakfast was excellent.

“Cute hotel in perfect location...”

Was not sure what to expect because the rates were so cheap, but i was very satisfied on arrival. The staff was very nice (everyone is nice in Lauzanne) and the room, though small (to be expected) was nice, clean, comfortable. There's no AC, but even though it was hot while i was there, didn't really need it - huge windows in the rooms provide ample ventilation and there's always a breeze

“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.

“Crystal in Barnstaple”

Perhaps best suited for the tourist trade in summer months, I used this property during a business visit ti Devon. It is well maintained and the staff is very helpful. Even during winter months the restaurant was crowed every night. Expect small rooms, (#12), and thin walls, but a pleasant experience at a reasonable price. Less than 5£ taxi ride from train station. 20 minute walk to town center (bus and train depots).
