"The hotel is pretty good, very close to trane and metro stations. The only minor complaint is lack of hi-fi in the rooms. We could use lobby though…."

Good option in Lausanne
"Hotel is in a good location and rooms are very spacious. Considering the high price and the fact that it is a four star hotel, I was expecting more in terms of quality and amenities : no coffee machine or complementary water in the room, very thin and worn towel on first day, average breakfast."

"Hotel is up on a very steep hill from the train station so be mindful of that. Room was spacious, barebones amenity wise, but comfortable regardless. Paid for a garden view room but didn’t get one (unless they meant rock garden???). Good value despite all of this."
