From Lausanne Gare, there is a very steep walk to hotel, I would not recommend walking if you are traveling with luggages and kids. Very nice breakfast with assorted bread, oats, flakes, fruits, coffee, pastry, milk, juice, meats, nuts and warm potatoes. From hotel room you can see the beautiful lake, cathedral structures down below. Water filling station outside rooms. Overall nice place to stay.

Like the idea but not for us.

The concept is a nice idea but not for us.. Wasn’t aware this hotel was a hotel for hospital patients. There is no tea / coffee making facility in the room, in fact the room although very clean is literally a bed, one pillow each, and very basic. Although calling itself a hotel it is more like a hospital room. The ‘restaurant’ is more a canteen, and although the food is good there are hospital patients with cannulas, bandages and new borns wondering around. I do like the idea this ‘hotel’ is trying to do but if classing themselves as a hotel they need to add that hotel feel not a hospital. If you are travelling for pleasure (couple break away for us) perhaps not for you, if you want a quick stop to get your head down then it would do.

Great place to stay at Lausanne

The room and all facilities at the hotel are super clean and free of any odors. The room is quite spacious. We loved the clean white clutter free design. The bathroom was very spacious unlike other hotels in Switzerland. The breakfast was great and we enjoyed the variety of food. The hotel staff are courteous and friendly.
