Beautiful Lausanne views from our balcony. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was luxurious. It was our best breakfast while we were in Switzerland. A bonus was our discounted rate for a Saturday night stay. Only downside: walking uphill from the train station.

On the positive side, it has a nice location in central Lausanne. Rooms with lake view have a really nice view and the hotel is very clean. On the negative side, many rooms are tiny and has no view. Service is correct but at a minimum, they seem to be saving money on everything from soap to other amenities. shower/toilets... More

The room was slightly larger then the bed and had an old touch to it. Breakfast and service were according to expectations - but not more. I'd... More

When James Joyce was in Lausanne he stayed at the Hotel de la Paix, so I dropped in for a coffee and a look. It's all changed inside since Joyce's day, of course (the outside looks much the same), but I wasn't disappointed. Friendly, relaxed people, and it's conveniently placed for Place Saint Francois, where Gibbon lived, and trams down... More

This luxurious but affordable hotel is in THE best Lausanne location just off of Place St. Francois, close to shopping with a beautiful view over Lac Leman. Great overall. Superb breakfast buffet. Comfy beds.

It is a very good hotel in the center of Lausanne, I stayed very short and the weather condition didn't allow to enjoy in panoramic view described by other reviewers. However, the hotel suited all of my needs: central city location with fast access to all points of my interest, good Internet access (included in the cost of room), clean,... More

Stayed here in November 2012 for a few days. Our room was so spacious with panoramic views. The rooms were of art deco style with high ceilings and great big windows many of which opened out onto a balcony. The bathroom was long with separate bath and shower facility. The flat screen TV had numberous channels in many languages so... More
