Top Lausanne Hotel Reviews

Hotel Victoria

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel. Very clean and spacious rooms. The interior design was fantastic. Great location. Very easy access to the train station. Breakfast had great choices and the breakfast hall was so nicely decorated. The staff unfortunately were unable to give suggestions or directions even to old town, the metro station or the port. We were told to “ask anyone outside and they will tell you how to get there”. As long as you don’t count on the staff to help with anything touristy, it is a fantastic choice. We managed to get around without their help. It is also located at the bottom of the hill which makes it easy to walk to. The city is very hilly. Would definitely recommend."

Hôtel des Patients

"Bel hôtel avec une superbe vue sur le Lac Léman (6e étage). Très grande chambre avec grand confort. Petit déjeuner avec beaucoup de choix."
