Bof!
Pros:

La localisation.

Cons:

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.

Gute zentrale Lage und freundliches Personal, jedoch wirkte das Zimmer eher ungepflegt und die Baustelle direkt vor dem
Pros:

- Lage Top
- Freundliches Personal
- Frühstück ganz ok

Cons:

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.

Cons:

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.
