This is a nice conference hotel that doesn't feel to conference-y. It's got an excellent Thai restaurant (as well as another with more traditional Swiss offerings like fondue), a pleasant lobby and bright, spacious rooms. The beds were excellent as was the shower - the two most important elements in any hotel! Reception and house keeping staff were excellent, restaurant... More

This was my second visit, and since I was happy with my last visit it was a obvious pick when I quite urgently had to travel to Lausanne, First, this is not a hotel if you crave luxury and expect only the best. If so, choose Palace Hotel and Spa. Its by far the best Lausanne can offer. Alpha-Palmiers offers... More

We stayed at the Alpha-Palmier on our first trip to Lausanne. Its conveniently located very near the Lausanne Gare (Train Station), and it has all the right amenities, however its a bit overpriced and the Rue de Petit-Chene (street) can be difficult to use as its so steep. Also it tends to be a bit busy at night with people... More

A steep but short walk up from the train station, but doable. We had a nice room and bath. Excellent breakfast was included in our room rate. Staff was helpful. The hotel was very busy ....primarily business customers. We were on holiday. Free wifi. That makes a hotel high on my list! More

We stayed on the courtyard side and so had no problem with noise. Unfortunately, we found the people at the front desk quite snobby and they misquoted us on both room price and on whether breakfast was included. The waitstaff at the restaurant in the morning were frankly unpleasant, and we wound up leaving the restaurant when we discovered that... More

The hotel Concept with an inner courtyard is very mice. Unfortunsreky they didn't invest in the rooms nor in in the facade. Our room- Fasching the Street- was unbelivsbly noisy at Night.

Dear Sir, upon request and with a small supplement it is possible to have a room facing the garden. During the weekend street side might be very noisy. We hope to welcome you again in our hotel. Best wishes More
