We stayed here two full weeks. Our room was very large and on the first floor in the front. Even though the room faced the street, it's a pedestrian zone, so street noise was not a problem; however there was occasional noise from groups of people walking late at night and from the service vehicles that came through. The area right across from the hotel seemed to be an area where smokers congregated, and we did get some residual odors from that.

We did find the beds rather odd--the pillows were extremely flat, and the bed mattresses did not meet up with the headboard, so reading in bed was almost impossible. In the two weeks we were there, I don't think the room was cleaned other than remaking the beds (the bedding was changed once, I think) and replacing the towels--no vacuuming. We had an empty soap dispenser for two full days, even after mentioning that it was empty twice. The breakfast room was large and bright. Breakfast was the same every day, but the quality was good.

The hotel was in an excellent location: just a very brief walk from the Metro (which is extremely efficient), shops, and restaurants. There are at least three areas very nearby with Saturday markets. Be sure to take advantage of Lausanne's easy access to ferries and trains to other towns along Lake Geneva to get the most out of your stay.

The internet was free, although it's speed and reliability varied greatly. The tv was not as big as my laptop computer screen and carried two channels in English (CNN and BBC). The hotel staff were generally helpful and courteous.

What a bad experience!

We came into the city without a hotel, we looked at well situated hotels in a 3stars category... this one appeard to meet.
Upon asking the (very friendly) receptionist told us "we have a great double room for you". At a price of CHF 190 (USD 195) this wasn't cheap but we decided not to risk, as it was already getting late.

- The room are old and noisy, inadequately equipped, with old furniture about to crack, floor in a very dusty rug and a function bed, which apparently can be lift up as cabinet.
- The bathroom is small, sticky and very, very old.
- You get a very limited breakfast.

The only two good points are the very friendly staff (specially the breakfast lady), and the location. But DEFINITIVELY NOT WORTH ITS PRICE!

Certainly not a recommendation. We felt this was a scam for the price

The Hotel is very conveniently located. This is the only good point.

Although the wi-fi is for free, it's very insecure. It uses WEP encryption with a ridiculous five-characters password that is very easy to crack. Once you are connected you can also browse the other visitors PCs. Be aware!
The bathroom was so small that the basin didn't fit in and they installed it in the room, right in front of the bed.
The street is very loud and I couldn't sleep during almost my entire stay.
The breakfast offer is rather poor, but I think this is a common issue in Switzerland.
Finally, the hotel itself was a furnace by the end of June and, of course, no air conditioning is available.
The prize is for sure too high as compared to the offer. I found the hotelier also a bit arrogant.
