立地が最高
The hotel was in a great location, right across from the train station and next to the metro. The room itself was clean and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay, and the staff were wonderful.
Fueron super amables!!
La ubicación se complicó porque había obras en las estación de tren justo enfrente y salías del hotel y te dabas con un muro y un pasadizo cerrado
Very responsive staff
The location in Lausanne is perfect. Right by the train station (look for the orange hotel sign) and also right by the Metro which was very easy to use. Facilities were nice.
Nothing
Great access to train and tram. Coffee making in room - lovely staff - comfy bed
AC a bit dodgy
Great location, staff extremely knowledgeable and friendly.
Hôtel fonctionnel et très bien situé en face de la gare. Le lit était très confortable. La machine à café en chambre est un plus appréciable. Très bonne isolation phonique.
Le système de climatisation avec le tuyau obligeant à laisser la fenêtre ouverte. Avec le bruit venant de la cour, impossible de dormir ainsi. Il manque un bar et une terrasse.
Posizione comoda, di fronte alla stazione ferroviaria, perdonale molto cortese e disponibile, abbonamento ai mezzi pubblici compreso nel prezzo della camera.
Very quiet room. As clean as one would wish. Staff very nice, friendly. Felt very safe as a solo female traveller. Location second to none. Next to station, metro and - my favourite - a grocery shop (Coop) that is open on Sunday and very late at night. 😄 Aircon was appreciated in Juli.
No particular view but I have been to Lausanne before and don't really spend time gazing out the window.
Not much honestly
Really bad smell in the hotel particularly 4 floor and rooms as well.
Diría que nada. Sólo el personal muy amable
Tienen obras en la calle y no se puede llegar con el coche. Empiezan a las 6:30 a hacer ruido. No te avisan para no perder las reservas. Las habitaciones necesitan una remodelación y el desayuno es muy pobre
La ubicación era perfecta y la habitación correcta
La habitación un poco pequeña
À côté de la gare bus direction le stade tout près
Lit moyennement confortable
The staff was really nice!
We weren’t lucky and got some construction right in from on the hotel. Was a bit noisy in the morning
Nous avons apprécié la proximité avec la gare, le calme, la gentillesse et la prévenance du personnel. La chambre était propre et proposait une literie confortable. Nous n'avons pas pris le petit déjeuner sur place donc nous ne pourrons rien dire dessus.

Location is prefecto. Even provided free public transportation carts during our stay. Which make our ciity visit even easier then even. Just hop on and off with any extra cost.
Posizione comoda
Non è stato segnalato il cantiere Non c‘era neanche una bottiglietta di acqua nella stanza. Solo un deumidificatore posizionato a terra
Posizione centrale. Letto comodissimo! Doccia ampia.
Il bidet assente , ma siamo in Svizzera
Posizione e silenzio
Chiusura dell ingresso per lavori esterni
Perfect position. Check in and check out very quick.
Single “superior” Room was quite small, not perfectly cleaned. Smelled like “old”, maybe it’s not used really often… Curtains were too short and there was too much light at night.
Too much noise
Ottima posizione
La stanza e la dotazione della stanza molto scarna per essere un hotel quattro stelle
النظافه والموظفين مرحين
قربه من محطة القطار الثلاجه لا تعمل بشكل جيد
La localisation.
A 7:10 les œufs brouillés étaient à peine tiède. Buffet pas mauvais mais pas très élaboré . Surtout au vu du prix et par rapport à d’autres hôtels équivalents que j’utilise. Chambre minuscule donnant sur un toit où j’ai vu quelqu’un passer. Douche impossible à régler l’eau venait d’en haut et de la douche à main. Impossible de ne pas se mouiller les cheveux. Bruit des travaux un moment.
- Lage Top - Freundliches Personal - Frühstück ganz ok
Das Zimmer wirkte insgesamt eher ungepflegt und wenig einladend. Der Vorhang hatte zudem ein sehr grosses Loch, was diesen Eindruck zusätzlich verstärkte. Direkt vor dem Zimmer befand sich eine grössere Baustelle, auf der bereits ab 7:00 Uhr morgens erheblicher Lärm entstand. Mir ist bewusst, dass das Hotel darauf keinen direkten Einfluss hat, dennoch hat die Lärmbelastung den Aufenthalt deutlich negativ beeinträchtigt.
Top Lage am Bahnhof, hat alles was es braucht für eine Nacht mit Freunden nach dem Ausgang.
Le bruit du chantier de la gare de Lausanne etait pénible. Mais cela n’a rien à voir avec l’hôtel proprement dit.
Le professionnalisme, le confort, la situation géographique, le rapport qualité/prix, le petit-déjeuner, la propreté.
J’ai tout apprécié. Mais il serait opportun de proposer du cenovis et de la tresse.
Location superb. Breakfast excellent. Thank you for the discount vouchers for restaurants.
All good.
Cleanliness and closeness to the train station
Lage top beim Bahnhof Zimmer top Sauberkeit top Frühstück top Personal top top
J'ai apprécié : le petit déjeuner ; la localisation (proximité de la gare) ; le professionnalisme et la gentillesse du personnel ; la propreté de la chambre
Je n'ai pas de remarque négative à faire
Très bien situé Personnel charmant
Emplacement au pied de la gare, des bus et du métro, et à 15 min de la vieille ville à pieds Chambre confortable, avec très bonne literie Bon petit déjeuner Personnel très accueillant aux petits soins pour ses clients
Ras
Posizione comoda vicino alla stazione ferroviaria e alla fermata della metro. Staff cordiale e disponibile. Non ho usufruito della prima colazione quindi per quella non posso esprimermi.
Nulla
Good
L accueil du personnel, l emplacement, La machine à café dans la chambre, la chambre, la propreté.

Ottima scelta
La gentillesse du personnel et la bonne literie
Ruen, tout au top
Hôtel très bien situé, face à la gare et à côté du métro : impeccable pour ceux qui se déplacent en transports en commun. Merci aux réceptionnistes qui ont répondu avec gentillesse et compétence à nos différentes demandes. Chambre confortable et bien isolée phoniquement. Restaurants à proximité.
Je remercie à nouveau la réceptionniste pour son accueil chaleureux et très professionnel le 5 août dernier. Elle m'a orientée de suite en me donnant des informations et documents pour visiter Lausanne dans les meilleures conditions. Petit déjeuner copieux et varié.
Malheureusement, les travaux devant l'hôtel ont pu occasionner du bruit selon l'exposition des chambres.
Un bon matelas et la situation très pratique pour visiter la ville
Aspect vieillot. Sans aucune marque de luxe
Not a 4 stars hotel. Outdated, dirty, toilet was disgusting.
Zimmer sehr ruhig. Die Lage war optimal, nahe beim Bahnhof, nahe bei der Metro.
Preis für Frühstück (CHF 25.--) viel zu hoch. Das Buffet war bescheiden. Die Orangepresse war defekt. Niemand hat sich darüm gekümmert. Teller wurde nicht aufgeräumt.
l'accueil, et l'emplacement facile pour les déplacments
Café da manhã
Ar condicionado extremamente barulhento
The air conditioning was not cooling the room effectively.
Client régulier, toujours content de l'emplacement (et du Transport en commun gratuit durant le séjour) et du personnel toujours bien avenant. Très bonne literie Très bon petit déjeuner (mention spéciale à TOURIA et son sourire accueillant - ce qui n'est la cas d'une autre personne)
Les travaux en cours autour de l'hôtel depuis DES ANNEES ! Et particulièrement cette fois qu'on est dans une phase "contre les façades" côté Hotel... Physionomie de protections et d'isolations scandaleuse. Heureusement que je connais la qualité de l'hôtel, si non j'irais ailleurs.
Tres bon accueil Le personnel bien a l ecoute Merci
It was clean and comfortable, especially slept well on that bed with my little toddler after the long trip.
It’s a little old building.
limpio, bien ubicado al frente de la estación del tren, amplio
desayuno poco y caro
Cortesia staff
Stanza sporca e maleodorante… ciuffi di capelli in bagno
Good hotel, exactly next to the train station
Small room, very hot, AC was very loud.
Bien
