Despite 'upgrading' to their Queen room, the room size was awful - getting past the bed into the far end of the room was a squeeze. Also the TV was fixed on the wall at 2m high - so impossible to watch comfortably from the bed. Cleanliness OK but breakfast poor. No need to select grotty hotels like this -... More

We stayed for 2 nights in Lausanne. Excellent location opposite the train station. Friendly staff. Free wifi. Free metro pass for the duration of our stay - a nice touch. Two things that I didn't like: 1) There is room for improvement for the cleanliness. To give an example, after mopping some hair was stuck on the floor. 2) Breakfast... More

As many have stated here the Hotel Continental's location is ideally situated across the street from the main station. The front of the hotel is a bit drab - with the hotels old nameplate being stripped off the building. Beds were ok, although a tad bit hard, and the free breakfast was acceptable. The rooms are of an acceptable european... More

first room I was given was VERY small (approx 15cm between bed and wall to squeeze through to other side of room), overlooking place de la Gare and opposite lift with very loud chimes every time someone called it so requested to change room. Staff were most helpful and arranged it quickly, new room was much quieter but still tiny.... More

Excellent staff on reception. Most professional courteous and helpful. Spacious, very clean and quiet room.Unlike previous reviewer we found the the beds very comfortable indeed. Continental breakfast was excellent in terms of quality with as much to eat as required. Had evening meal in Hotel restaurant which whilst being ok was overpriced in our view. However the hotel is very... More

I picked the hotel because it was advertised with "premium bedding" at expedia. Well, the sheets could've been but it still didn't make the bed comfortable as I might as well have slept on the floor, that's how firm it was. Door was also not very well sound proof as I could hear neighbors and cleaner slamming doors. Lots of... More
