My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was great, close to the train station and metro, making it convenient for exploring the city. The rooms were pretty nice, clean, and functional, but being practically on the railway tracks was a downside. The service was very professional and helpful, with staff providing excellent suggestions for public transport. However, the lack of dining options within the hotel was a disappointment.

My stay at the hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms were so well sound-proofed that I hardly noticed any noise from trains or other guests. The room had comfortable beds and a good bathroom, and the railway carriage design with Swiss views and a miniature railway below the glass floor added a unique touch.

My stay at the hotel was quite a mixed experience. The location was superb, just adjacent to Lausanne Main Station, making it extremely convenient for my early morning train. The service was very friendly, especially during the hours between 7pm and 10am. However, the room not having a toilet or shower was unexpected and inconvenient. The dining experience exceeded my expectations with a good selection of products, but the proximity to a busy railway line was a bit of a downside.

However, the room I stayed in was quite small, and unfortunately, it didn't have a fridge.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, just next to the train station, making it convenient for travelers like me. However, the room was noisy due to its proximity to the train line and a busy lobby area. On the bright side, the staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, but the hotel lacks flexibility in certain aspects like room arrangements. The breakfast was a highlight with a great selection, making it worth a return trip just for that.

I found this hotel to be a true gem despite some minor inconveniences. The rooms, while small, were impeccably clean. The thin curtain separating the bathroom was a bit quirky, leading to some water dripping on the floor. However, the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, making our stay comfortable. The included breakfast was a standout feature. The location, right by the station, was perfect for getting around Lausanne easily, despite some noise and graffiti in the area. The dining experience was enjoyable, though there was an extra fee. Overall, the facilities were great, making this hotel a worthwhile choice.
