A nice hotel in a quiet neighborhood, conveniently located within walking distance of the Old town attractions. Staff were friendly and we were lucky to have the room ready at 9am when we arrived. Room was nice and cosy, but the pillows were really bad... Softer than marshmallows ... And then some more. Other than that, it was ok although... More

It is a bit of a climb if you want to walk to the Elite Lausanne from the train station. But you see some sights on the way. The hotel is 2/3 of the way up the hill to the town center. It is in a colorful, older area of Lausanne with lots of small professional offices (lawyers, doctors, etc.).... More

I stayed in a single room for one night here. The room was an adequate size, had a very comfortable single bed, a sink in the room and a loo and shower in a small bathroom. The decor was rather outdated, but it was clean. The shower pressure was only just adequate and didn't maintain a consistent temperature. The rooms... More

This hotel was a lovely surprise. Professionally run, with courteous staff. Quite, with well equipped and clean (though not spaceous) rooms. Excellent location for both train and metro connections. Good breakfast. Highly recommended either for a business trip or for a short break.

This is a nice hotel, spotlessly clean, human in scale (was once a private residence, I think) staffed by helpful people who readily looked after my luggage after check-out, which gave me a carefree sunny morning walking by the lake. They serve a good breakfast in a pleasant dining room. Close to the train station (especially if you nip up... More

I stayed here for a week in a single room. The room was small but clean. The Internet was free during my entire trip although the quality of the signal was spotty. The breakfast, while repetitive, was filling and let me eat a simple snack for lunch instead of a pricy sit-down meal. My only complaint was the plumbing was... More

This hotel is in a perfect location for visiting Lausanne. The rooms are small and very clean. Wi-Fi is an extra charge - not per room - but per device. I would recommend a room with a balcony. Staff is mostly friendly and helpful.

A good choice. It's in a quiet area just above the train station and the metro, and just below Place Saint Francois. Friendly, helpful staff, a decent breakfast, and a comfortable room with a view out over the garden. (My room had a kitchen attached, which I saw could be used for - I think - an extra 25 CHF...

Elite Hotel was pretty reasonable value in the very expensive Switzerland. The room was simple but was very clean and had everything we needed. I would recommend asking for a room on the top floor of the hotel on the front side when you book. They have distant views of the lake and a nicer outlook than those on the... More

Hotel Elite is just a block away from the train station, and if you walk around the corner you're right in the middle of shops and restaurants and a short stroll from the old town. It's a bit of a hike to the waterfront, but still walkable. The rooms are fine but forgettable, small and clean like elsewhere in Switzerland.... More
