Pros:

On ne peut pas être plus pres de la gare, petite chambre comfortable avec fenetres bien isolantes (bruits), machine à café et petit frigo.

Cons:

La moquette qui date et qui retient les odeurs. Tout semble rénové à part ces vieilles moquettes.

Weekend stay in Lausanne
Pros:

Good hotel just across the road from the railway station in Lausanne and hence perfectly located for getting around. My room (single) was a decent size and the breakfast buffet was good and varied with both hot and cold options. A had a vary nice stay and would be happy to stay at this hotel again.

Pros:

Posizione eccellente, hotel vicinissimo alla stazione ferroviaria, tra il centro di Losanna e il lungolago. Colazione sufficiente. Camera accogliente di dimensioni adeguate.Letti comodi. Bagno funzionale. Pulizia e cambio biancheria puntuale. Personale di accoglienza e di sala gentilissimo.

Cons:

Nulla in particolare. Personalmente avrei preferito una colazione con maggiore disponibilità di verdure cotte al vapore o bollite.
