We stayed at this hotel for the 2nd time. It's still a very good choice. Modern rooms with good comfort (lounger, sofa) and enough space. The view into the lovely courtyard is also very nice. I like this hotel because it's just 5 minutes (uphill)/2 minutes (downhill) from the train station so it's very well located as the centre of... More

The Alpha-Palmiers is quite stylish, has big rooms and all the amenities you'd wish during your city trip. Internet is a bit slow but there's nothing else to critizise - very friendly staff, good food (great breakfast) etc. I'd definitely come back.

I stayed at this hotel on a business trip. The hotel is very well situated, within walking distance from the train station and the town center. The service is very amicable and the rooms are comfortable and well furnished.

This is a large hotel with a spiral design and slightly dated decor, but it's in good condition and it offers all the facilities you'd expect of a mid range business hotel. Being big, it lacks the personal touch of smaller boutique hotels. The service was pleasant and better than some other reviews have suggested - all our requests were... More

Great location just next to the train station, just a bit of a hilly road but the place to be if you want walk all around the city. Loved the breakfast and stuff's kindness. Loved the view from the 7th floor :) The apartments are really nice equipted with all you need to cook a light dinner. Cons: it can... More

Stayed for 2 nights in March. After reading some reviews was a bit concerned but my experience was very good. Hotel is in ideal location, staff were friendly and the room was huge. We had sofa, desk and a small table and still plenty of space. Breakfast was excellent with a good choice. Did not try the restaurant but price... More

Stayed for 3 nights in March and probably picked a reasonable week weather wise as I was told the previous week the ground was covered in snow, which would have probably made the uphill climb from the railway station a bit treacherous. I had a twin room which was clean enough but it had a smell of smoke when I... More

The room we had was amazingly huge & comfortable, so was the bed! The hotel is conveniently located just up a steep hill from the train station. Unfortunately, we only had one night here, but the motel is amongst one of the nicest we stayed in during our 5 week adventure. Pity Lausanne is so expensive, otherwise we would have... More

The hotel is very well located close to the train station. Notice, though, that if you have lots of luggage and/or mobility issues, the street up is hard to climb (and even harder to go down, particularly with bad weather). You may need to take a taxi from the station, which will have to go drive around to get to... More

For people travelling by train very good localization. Just about 200 meters uphill from train station. Nice service staff with the first impression: “Go out to Lausanne”. At the beginning I received map, free of charge public transport ticket which unfortunately I had no occasion to using. WiFi available in the room. Milk glass wall between living room and toilet...
