We didn't stay at the hotel, since we live in the area but tried this nice new restaurant across the EPFL campus. We weren't disappointed. The place is design, clean and functional, with a beautiful view on the Alps across the lake. The terrace must be perfect in summer. The menu has an italian touch. We opted for the Swiss... More

Stayed here two nights with colleagues on business. Rooms very clean with all the standard facilities. Mattresses are just simple unsprung foam, shower door always floods the bathroom area, air conditioning disabled though window could be opened. Restaurant food was adequate though both food and drinks very expensive (Switzerland!), lacks atmosphere other than the great view of the Alps across... More

The "super saver rate" is not described as non-refundable except in the small print of the "terms and conditions." One would expect that when the rate is selected, the customer would be informed that the rate is non-refundable. The "Customer Service" is terrible - no help at all. More

I've been in this Hotel more than once in the past months and I have nothing to complain. The rooms are spacious, furnished with style and the iPhone compatible soundsystem is a plus. The breakfast buffet offers a variety of food, the gym is new and if you like having a morning Jog the lake is around the corner. Great... More

For New Year´s Eve, a 75 CHF stay, cheap enough for the expensive Switzerland. Better if you have a car, as it is a 10 minutes ride: don´t even think to walk towards downtown. A good starting point of you enjoy nearby touristic locations, lake Geneva, the ships, etc. 25 CHF each for the breakfast buffet. Parking outside is free... More

Very good hotel if you need to stay close to EPFL. Great breakfast and food, they could increase their dinner choises but what I ordered was very tasty. Very helpful staff! More

I stayed 3 nights at the Starling. Seemed expensive for what you got -- new room but fairly small, poor quality TV, good bathroom, no drawers or cupboards for your things, no facilities to make tea or coffee in the room. The safe was useful -- large enough to fit my laptop in. Poor orientation of the buildings meant hardly... More

I stayed 5 nights at the brand new Starling Hotel at EPFL. The hotel is excellent. It is situated across the street from the university with access via a walking underpass. The facilities are brand new and give a hi-tech feel. The rooms are very comfortable. The in-room amenities include free (very fast) wi-fi, digital LCD with many options for... More

Swiss quality. Exceptionally clean. Beautiful view of lake and mountains if you ask for that type of room. Quiet, pristine setting. Modern, sleek, comfortable. 8 minute walk to Metro through the very young and cool EPFL campus. Skip the restaurant unless necessary and head to Lausanne for dinner. NOTE... This hotel is not close to the city but very accessible... More

Stayed there only for one night but that's the moment where you like to have everything in place. EPFL was closeby. Modern rooms, good shower, wireless internet without problems, breakfast, bistro, everything was there. Even the weather was ok but that's unfortunately not part of your booking. More
