Pros:

Very central, surpisingly quiet (room was not facing the train station). Clean and relatively modern room. Breakfast was good, staff very friendly

Pros:

Le personnel à l’accueil est remarquable, bravo et merci!

Cons:

Dans les équipements de l’hôtel il est clairement indiqué qu’il y’a un parking à disposition, hors le parking en question est celui de Montbenon, se trouve 500m plus haut et est payant! Dans ce cas ne mettez rien et le client se débrouille.. j’avais sélectionné cet hôtel parmi d’autre pour ce motif… j’ai été très déçue

Très bien
Pros:

Excellent petit-déjeuner.
Personnel très sympathique.
Jolie chambre avec tout le confort et belle salle de bains.
Boisson (eau citronnée) offerte à la réception.
Emplacement idéal, en face de la gare.

Cons:

Ceci est inhabituel car j'ai déjà séjourné dans cet hôtel mais cette fois-ci, c'était bruyant - probablement dû aux travaux devant la Gare de Lausanne. Je précise qu'on m'a demandé si je souhaitais une chambre côté rue ou côté cour mais j'ai choisi côté rue sans réalisé qu'il y avait des travaux.

Très bon rapport qualité/prix
Pros:

Hôtel situé dans le haut de Lausanne, en face de la gare, le métro est aux pieds de l'hôtel. Accueil souriant, la personne était très aidante. La chambre était très calme, très propre et le lit confortable. Le petit déjeuner était très bon, simple mais varié.
C'est top que le pass métro soit inclus !

Cons:

Notre chambre donnait sur le derrière de l'hôtel donc c'était certes calme mais la vue pas très jolie.
Pas de parking à l'hotel, vous êtes orientés vers le parking public le plus proche à 10 minutes à pieds. C'est important de le préciser si vous avez beaucoup de bagages
