Location in front of train station. Staff was friendly & helpfull. The elevator was under construction. Rooms rug looked dirty. They gave us a room that was behind a city construction and they started to work at 7:40 am. They didn't advise when checked in.

Excellent location and helpful staff
Right in front of the train station. I arrived very late - 1:30am! The front desk was very helpful, reassuring when I called worried that they will let go of my room. Easy check in, clean and simple room. An excellent location, 30 seconds from the station!

Good, clean hotel across the street from train station. Helpful and friendly staff, good breakfast. Was a little hassle to park in front and unload luggage from the car- but that not the hotel fault. We should've come by train.

Right by metro and train station. With the transit pass made it very easy to get around with the metro next door. Good choices for breakfast. Staff helpful and friendly. Only complaint was it was hot and air conditioner wasn’t working properly

So close to both the metro and the train station. Exploring the area is so easy. The staff are really helpful and give excellent advise. A little bit of street noise at night. Had a great stay in Lausanne.

Little gem of a hotel with excellent location
Perfect convenient location opposite train station and lovely staff member who checked us in- he found a room for us even though we arrived very early morning and expected we would have to just leave our luggage until check in time. Room was clean, quiet & restful and beds comfortable Air conditioning struggled and wasn’t really adequate for the room but it was a very hot couple of days. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.

Central location. Friendly welcome.
Stayed for a work conference. Super location opposite train station near to cafes and food shops. A short walk down hill to lake with many bars and restaurants. Reception gave warm welcome with a 2 day free travel pass for the local metro system.

8/3-6,2024. Pro: location, cleanness, space, A/C, Friendly. Con: N/A. Great location, right across from the main train station, many restaurants nearby. The orange sign on the building was easy to find the hotel. Room and bathroom were clean and larger than average in Europe. A/C was a nice addition. USB outlets were great (but always carry a voltage converter/adapter when traveling to Europe for convenience since many hotels don’t have USB outlets). Staff were helpful and friendly. We truly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Continental.
