Great new hotel

For being a brand new hotel, this was a great place to stay! There are obviously some kinks they're still working out (e.g., not all the rooms were ready upon arrival after the stated check-in time, there was some construction mess downstairs and in the elevator), but overall, I would recommend staying here. It's in a great location in Lausanne - very close to the water, walking distance to public transportation, shopping, and several decent restaurants and coffee shops. The staff here are incredible and regularly went out of their way to check in on us, make sure we were having a good stay, and providing information regarding the area. Bonus - it has AC!

Immer wieder ein guter Ort für eine Übernachtung in der Stadt. Nahe am öV, ruhiges Quartier. Das Hotel ist sauber und schlicht&schön eingerichtet. Man hört andere nur, wenn etwas im Flur laut ist wie Türen und Personen die laut sind. Die Beleuchtung im Flur könnte besser sein. Diesmal hatte ich ein Zimmer auf der 8. Etage mit Blick auf die Kathedrale, wunderschön! Ich komme gerne wieder.

Un hôtel de ville moderne et très bien décoré !

Hôtel moderne au centre ville, pas de nuisance côté cour, au dernier étage vue sur la cathédrale. Décoration sur le thème du chocolat au top ! Séjour d'une nuit, pas testé le petit déjeuner buffet. Boulangeries disponible dans le quartier, rue avec peu de trafic, à 5min de la cathédrale et de la place St-François, métro également très proche

Zentrales, sauberes Hotel für Städtetrip

Optimal zwischen zwei Metro Stationen gelegen. Parkhaus in der Nähe. Nettes Stadthotel mit freundlichem Personal. Zimmer sind mit allem nötigen ausgestattet: sogar Safe, Bügelbrett/Eisen, Wasserkocher, Kühlschrank. Steckdosen neben dem Bett. Als Alleinreiender ist das offene Bad kein Problem. In manchen Zimmern ist die Beleuchtung nicht optimal, wie auch am Waschbecken teils. Dennoch ok.

For the price, I'd prefer working a/c and fridge

If you are arriving in Lausanne by train, the hotel is conveniently located between a couple of stops on metro line 2. I chose a double room rather than a single and therefore had a significantly larger room for very little additional money. The air conditioning didn't work and the fridge didn't keep anything cold. I asked the front desk if these problems could be fixed and the very nice lady at the front desk called the management who said the answer was "no". Apparently, management thinks a/c is unnecessary in Lausanne in September so it is switched off throughout the hotel and the fridge is an ex-minibar and isn't supposed to keep things cold. Other than that, the hotel was fine. It's near a big coop, which I found convenient.

Good and affordable option for Lausanne

A very nice room, equipped with everything a guest needs: kettle with coffee sachets, fridge with glasses and a big jar, iron and even ironing board. Beautifully decorated and comfortable. On our arrival they gave us a small chocolate! (The reception desk is a part of a kitchen 😳). Overall, a pleasant stay.
