Pros:

Posizione perfetta : si trova esattamente di fronte alla stazione dei treni, davanti all'ingresso dell'albergo vi è l'area di sosta dei taxi, la fermata della metro è a 10m dall'ingresso e ci sono anche fermate di numerosi bus ; è il punto perfetto per poter girare Losanna in piena comodità.

Nice oldfashioned hotel near train station
Pros:

Location, extremely friendly and helpful staff, tasty breakfast. Choose a room facing the quiet back side due to heavy traffic and construction work at the front side.

Cons:

Extremely soft mattresses, carpeted floor (problem due to my allergies).
