You can’t go wrong with this hotel, it was clean, comfortable and in a great location. What more can you ask for?
Pros:

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.

Pros:

Fueron super amables!!

Cons:

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

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.

Cons:

Nothing

Hôtel fonctionnel en face de la gare
Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.

Nothing flashy but Excellent value for money.
Pros:

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.

Cons:

No particular view but I have been to Lausanne before and don't really spend time gazing out the window.

Una maña experiencia
Pros:

Diría que nada. Sólo el personal muy amable

Cons:

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
