“Avoid!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 May 2009
1
person found this review helpful

The hotel is situated in a great location, right in the center of all the main action in the old part od Lausanne. But that is the only redeeming factor. It is a very depressing place, with tiny rooms and micro sized bathrooms (split into a box sized WC and a shower smaller than a ship cruise). For this they charged us 188CHF for a double. Free internet was the other redeeming factor. Breakfast was pathetic, with the woman in charge being in some sort of a rush to wrap up everything, and perhaps go to her next job! During my current tour of Switzerland, I have stayed at 4 and 5 star hotels and paid less than what I paid here. It is not worth more than 100CHF, and that too only if you are desperate.

“cute small hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 August 2008

great staff! very friendly, and the hotel has a great location in the middle of everything! it is a small hotel and there isnt anyone at the front desk from 11 pm - 7 am. free wi-fi! which is hard to get at hotels. i have a room with 3twin beds in it. they were small but cute. they each had a quilt on top. and the hill it is on isnt steep at all! we had a taxi drop us off so we didnt have to find it. great small hotel! not for travelers with a lot of needs.

“Nice little hotel, can be noisy in weekends”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 December 2006

people found this review helpful

I stayed in the Voyageurs hotel in October during the Lausanne Marathon event.

The hotel is a bit hard to find, it is in the centre of Lausanne with lots of 1 way streets and different levels of altitude. You can park your park in front of the hotel to load or unload your luggage.

Staff is friendly. I got a spacious room with bath tub. There is free wireless Internet available.

Breakfast is good, although they weren't used to the amount of people staying in the hotel, so some items were not available for people having breakfast late.

The hotel is ideally situated in the centre of the town, with easy access to public transportation.

If you can, ask for a room at the backside of the hotel. I stayed at the front site, which was very nice for the view, but the street is used as a transit road for visitors of the entertainment section of the town. So at night, it can be quite noisy.

Overall, the hotel is great considering the location and price, but be aware that it can be noisy at night, especially during weekends.

“Avoid this one”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 July 2005

person found this review helpful

We finally found this hotel after the most frustrating search ( the streets in Lausanne turn and twist at all kinds of angles!). The rooms and breakfast were fine and the staff pleasant, however, the street noise is unbearable-- LOUD partying in the rooms nearby at night, followed by early morning shouts and clanging from vendors in the morning. Skip this one.
