    It was a real treat to stay in a hotel which was not obviously part of a chain and which did not have a corporate identity. All staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The single room was entirely adequate, and it was a bonus to have the option of a bath as well as shower. A safe in the room is always helpful as well. I still can't believe how a hotel just a couple of minutes from the railway station and main streets could be located in such a quiet, tree-lined side street, with its own (smallish) garden.

    One of the pillows might have been firmer, but it was good to get two each rather than just one. Having hot drinks available in the afternoon was welcome, but 4 francs for hot water and a tea bag for residents is a bit steep.

    Comfortable corner room, with a useful safe and a small fridge, plus wine glasses provided. Traditional but attractive decor. The street was nice and quiet at night. Handy location for those arriving by train, without being too close to the station. The receptionist was helpful in finding us a plug adapter when we discovered that all the sockets were the Swiss 3 pin and none took the regular European type.

    Power outlets were behind the night stand, had to move it to charge my phone by my bed. And then the socket couldn’t fit my power adapter with the night lamp power cord at the same time, so I had to forfeit a light source. The pillows were too flat for me, good thing I had four to pile up. (Traveling solo) Bit pricey for me but considering prices in the Swiss I’d say it’s a good bargain.

    Staff were great and welcoming, everyone I met spoke English. They had a tea service with cake but I was out so didn’t go. Room was very spacious, with big windows to let in lots of light. Loved the balcony. Bathroom also very spacious complete with a tub, lots of space over the sink for your own stuff. TV was fixed in a corner but could turn to face armchair or bed. Bed and duvet both very comfy. Continental breakfast with eggs and sausage, 2 selection of cheese, 3 kinds of ham, and 5-6 different bread. Coffee with milk was great, cappuccino not so much. Bread selection were so good I ate too much.

    Though the bed was comfy, the sheet was very old and scratchy. The room had a slight eggy smell to it.

    Excellent location, only a 5 minute walk from Lausanne train station. The room was clean & reasonably sized. I checked in past midnight which wasn’t an issue.

    Although clean, facilities were quite dated. There was some weird smell in some rooms, most likely the carpet.

    They introduced a 90chf daily parking fee a month prior to our stay. We did not pay it as we booked prior to its introduction.

    The location and staff were excellent. There was also a Lausanne transport pass thrown in making the whole of Lausanne accessible.

    Bathroom was missing some space around the sink for any kind of private items (like makeup or glasses) and the hairdryer was rather old and overheating quickly.

    Hotel is nicely located in the centre of Lausanne, just few minutes of a (steep) walk from the train station. Room was rather small but enough for traveling alone. Staff was friendly.

    Switzerland is expensive so this may seem so too - expect bigger, more modern places will be even moreso so save your money and book here for a great experience.

    A little gem. Old world style - this is not modern, but very cozy. Close to the main train station (yes, up steps but worth it if you can manage) and metro line, old town. Still quiet despite location. Easy to walk down to Ouchy but metro option also available. Comfortable room with sparkling and still water provided♥️, good shower, lovely simple breakfast (extra $, good value). All staff were very friendly and helpful. Great to be able to leave bags - and be given the local travel pass at the same time.

    I am not a big fan of rooms with a limited amount of the daily light. Also, the hair dryer is a bit too old, but still functional though. And be careful, do not get tricked that it takes only 4 minutes from the main station. There is some exercising needed to get there (climbing a pretty steep hill).

    I appreciate the kind and warm stuff of the hotel. Always smiling and being supportive. Also the location of the hotel is great, very close to the main train station while still providing a quiet place to stay. I liked the bathtub as well. So relaxing after a long day. And it is great that the room had a regular table for working, which I used a lot during my business trip.

    No electric kettle in the room (but the staff gave me a thermic bottle with hot water :) ) No free coffee at the reception, only tea

    Very comfortable and quiet rooms: comfortable bed, amazing pillows, room can be darkened at will, no slamming door noise in the morning due to the standard key based locking Note: I have got a room at the top floor, with no neighbors, so I cannot comment on the noise between rooms Located in the center near the station but in a quiet street

    The uphill climbs ! these can be hard work, our advice is use the metro and go to a stop further then walk down.

    The proximity of the hotel to the rail station meant the walk up hill was manageable pushing our suitcase as we went. Lausanne is hilly, with some steep climbs, negotiating a large suitcase much further would not be ideal. The hotel is close to the Metro network also which was extremely useful for getting around, and free for visitors using the hotels in the town. Hotel Elite was a little gem for our three night stay, the staff were very helpful and friendly, the hotel was very clean and the continental breakfast was very good. For a short break this hotel is ideal.

    Very good location, only a few steps opposite the train station. Very near old town and around half hour walk to Olympic Museum and the lake. The pressure of showers are better than I expected. Excellent breakfast. Very nice staff offering valuable information and they even remembered who you’re.
