Our only wish was that we had taken the breakfast on the roof rather than down the street!

Lots of character in this hotel- we loved it! Clean, friendly staff, great lounge area with tea and coffee, lovely continental breakfast. Rooms are simple, no frills, but all we needed for a family of four. Great views of the cathedral, perfect location.

Hôtel is in the center of the city! Everything is really close. + An amazing terrasse on the top floor! Owner of the hotel is a really nice person! Thank you so much for hosting me!

Check in was very smooth with helpful staff. The room was perfect with everything we needed and no more. The balcony and views were spectacular. So close to restaurants and shops. Would be my choice on future visits.

Great location, good value. Perfect family place to stay. Small bar and asian food just at bottom of the stairs of the hotel. You are straight in the city center. Amazing view from the 5th floor during the breakfast, breathtaking (view on the city + a bit of the lake)

Staff so friendly , the location was perfect near to everything

1.very friendly staff! Everybody was really helpful and kind!!! 2. central location 3. very clean and comfortable rooms 4. Coffee and tea offered in the afternoon at the last floor with a perfect panoramic view in Lausanne

Very friendly and kind staff. The room was perfectly equipped for us and the kids, all we needed was there. The view from the 5th floor is amazing, good idea to enjoy a coffee on the terrace when it is warm.
