Top hotels in Lausanne Center
Hotel Continental
Great room with everything we needed, including a L’or coffee machine which was just what I wanted waking up! Good location and perfect for seeing the whole of Lausanne, easy transport links for bus, train, and metro right outside! It’s busy outside but not noisy, which was good!

De la Paix
Great property by old town. I had a Lakeview room which was wonderful. I cut my foot on some broken glass in the room which was unfortunate but otherwise nice facility.

Hotel Victoria
The staff were wonderful and the hotel is very nice. Sadly the breakfast was not as it should be and leaves a lot to be desired. A wonderful lady was on her own and even with her excellent performance it was too much for one person!
