Minotel Crystal  

Location excellent: right in the middle of the city, close to Metro and everything. Staff was helpful and kind. Breakfast is excellent: different types of delicious swiss cheese, salami, good selection of jams and other spreads, bread, bun, fresh fruit and fruit juice (apple and orange), eggs, everything you need. View from roof terrace is really splendid.

Wifi is not free (in 2011!): it is a basic service in the cheapest hostels, whilst here one pays an enormous amount of money for a room, so why it is not included in the price? My room was very small and dark.

Friendly staff, great location, easy access to transport and sights; breakfast. My room with a view over the whole city, cathedral and towards the lake.

Great location - friendly staff.

Good value for a family. Switzerland is impossibly expensive and this was a good deal for a family room for 4 including breakfast in such a central location. Free public transport added a lot of value because you need it get around the very sloping multi level city. Free wifi was great. McDonalds within 20m was both good and bad but the kids loved it. I liked being able to open the windows and hear the church bells ring nearby. The rooftop terrace has a good view.

Its old and a bit shabby. But what value in meeting our needs in such an expensive place. We found the old town just next door which is really excelent to visit but it takes time to understand the multi-level nature of the city and find these little gems. The immediate area of the hotel is a bit run down and there are dark looking people nearby which make you feel uncomfortable at night. However overall if you have a large group and are looking for a reasonably value alternative this is it.

Nice city view from hotel terrace when we had breakfast, hotel is locate in the city center,

- Our room for 4 peoples that we have booked is not same as advertised in the booking.com website, photo in website is look a lots better than actaul, the room is very small for 4 pp, seem it's just adding 2 bunk beds into the room for 2 pp. - no free wifi in the room. - breakfast have no meat, just only salami.

The hotel is located right in the heart of Lausanne and well connected to the metro line. The breakfast is taking place on the top floor of the hotel, and when weather permits, an outside terrace is open to enjoy.

Simple but functional.

The car parking arrangements are rather complicated and inconvenient.

the hotel is located in the historic city centre, just a minute from the metro station.

my room was quite small and dark, not comfortable for doing even small work. the place is okay if you spend most of your time outside.

central location.

I understand that Switzerland can be expensive, but I felt that even though the hotel was nice enough, I was paying more money than it was worth. I have stayed in higher standard hotels for the same price, if not less.

The Location right in the city centre

Le personnel très accueillant et arrangeant, et la chambre très confortable.

Personnel très sympa. Hôtel nous a même donné le ticket journée pour le transport commun.

Sehr gute Lage, nette Mitarbeiter und ein tolles Frühstück
