Top Lausanne Hotel Reviews

Aquatis Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Really enjoyed this hotel - if you are coming by metro make sure you know how to get in, not entirely clear the first time. There is not much nearby but the metro is quick and frequent and the hotel is lovely."

Hotel Mirabeau, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Nice, affordable hotel. The location is wonderful and they provided us the free transportation card for Lausanne which made getting around very easy. There's not anything in the area for breakfast and we ate at the hotel which wasn't expensive and was pretty extensive. We brought a car and parked in the ramp overnight -- yes, there's a fee, but its not out of line with hotels anywhere in the world. The room was spacious for three people with too much luggage. The A/C worked well. The beds were comfortable (my teenager loved the Murphy bed with the "normal mattress"!). The family was all happy."

Beau-Rivage Palace

10/10 Excellent

"We have an amazing and relaxing stay at Beau Rivage. The room was very comfortable with lovely amenities. We enjoyed an afternoon by the pool and appreciated the attentive pool staff. Beautiful views of Lake Geneva. Several food options on site. Walkable into town and the path along the lake. All the staff were very friendly and helpful with anything we needed. Thank you for the lovely lemon cake to celebrate my daughter's birthday. It was a wonderful surprise. Highly recommend."
