Breakfast very poor
Room was large with terrace. Bed was unconfortable.Parking is outside in front of hotel with cameras but open street. Breakfast was extremely poor, just some yoghurt and small low cost cheese. Receptionist is kindly. Also you get free ticket for public transport. Internet is low quality

Great value, compared to prices in Lausanne. Transit was great, close to grocery stores. Dinner at 5:30 pm was not possible. Fridge wasn't very cold, room was warm (fan but no air conditioning). Staff were friendly and helpful (especially answering TONS of questions by email before my trip).

Convenient hotel in the Lausanne area.
Good place for an overnight stay. Location is in a quiet residential area so nothing much within walking distance. The hotel has a self-service check in for out of hours arrivals. Breakfast room was large and attractive - breakfast was ok. A slightly quirky hotel based on the theme of inventions but perfectly good for a short stay in the Lausanne area.

This is clean and quiet property (despite adjoining construction), set amid a residential and light industrial area. It is walking distance to a shopping center containing a huge grocery store (Migros), where I often bought my meals among its prepared selections, including canapes! And it is also walking distance to the local light rail station. The hotel staff gave me adequate instructions to find it and also free travel on it for the duration of my stay. The hotel ordered a taxi for me the evening before my early departure the next morning & the taxi did not show. I called the hotel emergency number and the hotel immediately called another and I made my connection. I would not recommend including the breakfast for your stay. Experiment with it one morning & make your own decision. Clearly I was disappointed. Also, there is no air conditioning and there was record heat during my stay. The fan in the room was adequate to move the air. Also, the staff speaks passable English and is happy to help with everything!
