Pros:

Super localisation. Chambre simple. M Personnel au top. Équipements basique. Un frigo est à disposition mais vide. Je recommande pour un city trip à Lausanne.

Cons:

La décoration de l'hôtel n'est pas top. Le tapis de l'ascenseur est vraiment sale. La décoration de la chambre est vieillotte. La vue arrière est nulle avec bruit de ventilation.
