Hotel Continental
Centrally located, surprisingly quiet for being so near the train station. Nice place to stay for a visit. Metro is just around the corner.

Moxy Lausanne City
Eclectic hotel. Decent breakfast. Welcome drink a bit deceiving since cocktails not included

Hotel Victoria
The staff were wonderful and the hotel is very nice. Sadly the breakfast was not as it should be and leaves a lot to be desired. A wonderful lady was on her own and even with her excellent performance it was too much for one person!
