The staff was so very friendly and helpful. Our room was perfect for us with a small refrigerator and wine glasses! We sat in the garden area adjacent to the hotel and enjoyed our breakfasts as well as wine in the evening. The beds were comfortable and we slept very well each night because the hotel is located in a quiet area! The metro system is conveniently located and easy to navigate! Wonderful coffee shop right around the corner. Highly recommend this quaint hotel

Convenient.

Nice place in a convenient part of town. Close to the train station and shopping. Our room was nice. Nothing fancy, but in good condition, decent air conditioning and a good coffee maker. All that we needed for one night.

Short stay in Lausanne

The hotel was ideal for us as it was within easy reach of the railway station. However, to get there it is quite a trudge either up a cobble street or up stairs... but it is not far. The staff were friendly and helpful and the 3 bedded room we had booked was actually a twin room with a separate room for the third bed (our granddaughter). Breakfast which was included was excellent.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The rooms don’t have interior top locks, and felt a bit unsafe but I have noticed that in many area hotels. Great price. I picked it because it was the closest to the train station, not realizing the steep steps (3 flights) up, or you can go around up a steep hill. If you have heavy luggage or physical limitations, I would pick a different hotel that may say it’s farther, to the side of the station instead of up!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
I booked a room for 3 nights at this hotel. My husband had to cancel the 3rd night to be by his mother’s side. She passed away. He informed the hotel a day ahead and asked if they could help with a refund for that last night due to the circumstances. It was very disappointing that they did not refund/ even partially. This is the only reason I would not book there again. I think it was very short sighted given my family will be attending a wedding there in August. I emailed the hotel directly and never even got a courtesy reply.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
It was a nightmare to approach the property since GPS did not know how to avoid the road construction of the street entrance and stuff could not give help either. Otherwise it was a decent hotel, with convenient parking, after one learns that the nearby parking lots are assigned to residents. The $20 breakfast does not worth more than $10 but there are several konditoreis and other cheap stores to eat breakfast. The surrounding streets are very steep which characterizes the whole city. Yet most interesting places, like restaurants, train station, COOP store, old town, are easily accessible (via the steep roads though).

Worth the Wait

We saw a little more of Lausanne than we, thanks to some road work and detours. But once we made our way to Hotel Elite, everything was great for a quick visit. The 5-minute walk from the train station with luggage turned into 25 minutes, but it paid off with a comfortable, spacious room in this handsome hotel — with an elevator. We had our choice of restaurants within a short walk that night and were on the edge of the historic City Center for a walking tour the next day. The route to the Cathedral has some steep stretches, so we used the convenient Metro to reach it and work our way back down hill. Our stay included a hearty, hot breakfast in a cozy dining room. And the manager bailed me out. I booked the wrong night, and she shifted it to the next night at no extra charge. Thanks, Hotel Elite.
