This hotel has a perfect location in Lausanne, perched on the top of the hill with a view of Lac Leman and the Alps. Some rooms, however, are at the back with a view only of an alleyway. The rooms facing the lake are worth asking for, even if some of them are small and feel a little dated. A... More

Old elegant hotel with all the modern amenities. Not directly walkable from Lausanne train station if you carry luggage (25-30 mins uphill). Need taxi to get to center or waterfront. Beautiful view of mountains from breakfast restaurant. The highest quality food items on the breakfast buffet. They have everything at breakfast you would expect in bread, juice, cereals and hot...

The view over Lac Leman from the hotel is the first thing that struck me when I arrived at the hotel - you are looking out over a grand vista of mountains, water, and the city that seems to stretch forever into the distance. The city has glorious small parks and there is one right across the street, where you... More

Very convenient location, with great view of the Lake, room was impeccable, no problems with the heating as reported in prior reviews, modern furniture on the minimalist side, spacious bathroom, great shower. Breakfast was excellent. I would recommend it as an alternative to the more expensive hotels closer to the lake. I would prefer this one to the Mövenpick Hotel... More

I had a view of Lake Geneva and of France from my room. In the heart of the city. Fairly expensive, and the room decor and furnishings don't really match the price. My queen bed was 2 singles! At least they didn't charge for wi-fi and breakfast! More

Good points: Room very clean, with lovely views over lake and very close to commercial centre. Our cleaner was very helpful and went out of her way to provide us with alternative bedding (see below). Bad points: Reception staff neither friendly nor welcoming and of limited helpfulness. Room overheated yet bed made up with a very warm duvet: duvets were... More

The de la Paix is an excellent Hotel in Lausanne. The location is great, the service was very good, the rooms very clean and the bathrooms perfect. The view over the lake is unbeatable. The cost of a room with lakeview of CHF 230, including breakfast and free internet is a great bargain. Best stay in Lausanne! More

This hotel was excellent in all categories. Very good and central location. We had a food and wine package and this can also be highly recommended. It is not cheap though. More

De La Paix is decent hotel in Lausanne, no surprises on either end. Is is located uphill from the railway station. If you are a tourist and aim for the downtown area, then it is a prime location. Pretty far from the lake, which I prefer, but this is only a personal preference, no objective point for or against. The... More
