Top Lausanne Hotel Reviews

Aquatis Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great hotel, the staff helped me to navigate the city with the free public transport in Lausanne I am looking forward for my next visit for the Judo Grand Slam"

Hotel Victoria

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was in an excellent location to explore the old town of Lesa as well as catch the train down to the lakefront, and the train fares covered in a city pass that you get for being a hotel guest. Great city to explore."

Hotel Continental

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is located opposite the train station and there is a Metro station just by the main entrance. It is close to restaurants. The staff were very helpful and professional. The buffet breakfast was plentiful. My only very minor comment is that there was too little space between the end of the bed and wall. I had to squeeze past the bed to get to the desk. Could the room be reconfigured to overcome this problem? I stubbed my toe on the leg of the bed a couple of times squeezing past the end of the bed."

Château d'Ouchy

10/10 Excellent

"We were given a room with a tiny balcony overlooking the lake. That made our stay extremely pleasant. The location of this hotel is excellent with lots of eateries close by."
