Unfortunately my stay at the Alpha in Lausanne was not up to epxectations. Despite having booked a breakfast inclusive rate, I was informed at reception that this would be at an additional charge. I then presented a copy of my confirmation that clearly said breakfast inclusive (booking made through online travel agent), the receptionist bluntly told me that it wasn't... more

Large room with plenty of seating and desk. Bathroom has kitchen facilities (unhygenic to me) and wardrobe in it. Dust was accumulating under the bench and the sink did not drain on it's own. Hotel has odd layout although it has great location to rail and city centre. It was under repair renovation when we were there and fitness centre... more

It is tricky to locate it, though it is conveniently located next to the rail station. There is no signage in sight and you probably won't see it unless peeking straight into it. Okay, they have built an interesting inner yard with a sort of Japanese garden and night fires over the water. But at the same time it is... more

My husband and I had planned this trip for some time, so I did some research on the hotels offered by this particular tour group, The review on Trip Advisor gave me reason to pause and so I voiced my concerns to our travel agent, Although this one only one of four hotels on this trip, it was the only... more

Once you have made it up the steep hill leading to the hotel, the first thing you are greeted with is a huge rotating door, the dark metallic exterior of which does nothing to indicate that you are at the hotel entrance. It is not very welcoming and I wasn't entirely sure I wasn't entering an office complex instead! It... more

Hotel up steep hill about 200 yards from the station as others have commented. People with any mobility/heart problems should not attempt. Hotel modern and rooms adequate. The en-suite bathroom is separated from the bedroom by opaque glass only. Meaning that if the bathroom is used by one guest at night it is impossible not to disturb the other with... more

We stayed at the Alpa-Palmiers over night in May, 2008, which was arranged by Trafalgar Tour. We requested a non-smoking room before hand through Trafalgar. However after arrival, we noted we were allocated to a smoking room which was smelly and stinky. It seems to me that the whole first floor of the Hotel is a smoking floor, which is... more

I have just returned from a 1 night stay in this hotel. It was ideally placed for both the lake (providing you don't mind a walk of approx 20 mins...all up hill on the day back) and for the city centre/old town. The hotel was very clean but lacked character. We ate out but had breakfast in the hotel restaurant,... more

I recently stayed here for work. It was a last minute option as our usual place was full. It is convenient for the station and I quite liked the decor of the room, the bed was comfortable and I could get BBC1! The glass bathroom wall didn't bother me as I was by myself. However I wonder if any of... more

Hotel built like a circle; my room was located on the back 1/2 (as far from the elevator as one could be). Room itself was modern style - cowhide chairs at a small table, small kitchenette, two twin beds pushed together, modern tv. The wall between the bathroom and the sleeping area seemed to be made of opaque glass. Room... more
