Its mostly a very good place if you are someone looking for a few days of cheap stay in Laussane. Its decently priced and serves good on a student budget. The rooms are nice and clean and so are the bathrooms. However, to be noted that the bathrooms are the size of cupboards. The location is central, not far from... More

While I wouldn't go so far as to say it was terrible, my experience staying for 3 weeks in this hostel made me excited to move on to a different location. For starters, the building that it's in is basically made of a bunch of concrete slabs without any character whatsoever. The rooms are quite dark, with small windows, and... More

As I had to go to Lausanne last minute, my usual hotel was already fully booked and I had to find something on a budget. So I stayed in the Jeunotel for 5 days. Next time I'll gladly pay the extra 100 CHF/night, I guess. The rooms are marginally clean, way too warm (without a good means to ventilate) and... More

I am sure it would be a fine jouthhostel in general. However, the rooms are in summer just TOOOOOO hot. It is simply unbearable when temperatures rise outside to 30 degrees. The windows are extremely small and close to the roof which is about 3,5 meters high. No chance to moove the hot air out of the room. Just sweat!... More

This place has the charm of a prison, and beds to match. Our room had not been cleaned from the prior guests and there was rotting food in the closets. It has a serious institutional vibe with metal frame beds and concrete floors, walls, ceiling. We have stayed in many other hostels and this one was by far the worst.... More

I think if you are travelling with someone it's best to avoid hostels - it's simply cheaper to stay in a hotel. This place was very clean, cool, and crowded - a busy international crowd. the dorms are not co-ed, so my gf suffered through sleeping with a bunch of loud party girls, I slept like a champ. don't linger...

I stayed at Lausanne Youth Hostel for two weeks, while attending a conference at a local university. The university granted my colleagues and me a discounted rate of 30 Swiss Francs per night, which was an excellent deal compared to hotel options in Lausanne. The accommodations were unbeatable for the price. The hostel rooms that I saw consisted of three... More

Our institute offered a a subsidized trip to Switzerland, involving Lectures, Seminars and local sightseeing at the end of our MBA. Lausanne Youth hostel was where we based ourselves as we travelled up and down in that beautiful country. The hostel was conveniently located about 5 minutes bus ride from the city center (Ouchy) and about 15 minutes from Lausanne... More

I am a Swiss resident so maybe my opinion is based on the consistent quality that you find here, but we were disappointed with this hostel. I was travelling with my boys by bike and had stayed several nights at other official Swiss Youth hostels on the way. All were better and cheaper than the this one. As an example,... More
